Background: AC 120-119 provides information on how entities subject

handling or shipping of dangerous goods by air and hereinafter referred
to as an Other Regulated Entity or ORE) may choose to voluntarily
implement an SMS as described in Title 14 CFR, Part 5, Safety
Management Systems. Each ORE that elects to participate in the FAA's
voluntary SMS program develops an SMS implementation plan, which is
submitted to the FAA for approval. Once implemented, the ORE collects
and analyzes safety data and maintains training and communications
records for its SMS.
Respondents: The FAA estimates one new respondent and four
continual respondents annually.
Frequency: Information is collected on occasion. Respondents who
voluntarily elect to participate in the voluntary SMS program submit a
one-time implementation plan and occasionally provide updated SMS
information after implementation.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 4,160 hours for new
respondents and 170 hours for continual respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 4,160 hours for new respondents and
680 hours for continual respondents.
