System for Other Regulated Entities Transporting Dangerous Goods by
Air.
Form Numbers: No FAA forms are associated with this collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on June 17, 2025 (90 FR 25739). AC 120-119 provides
information on how entities subject to the regulatory requirements of
Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 171-180 (e.g.,
entities performing functions such as, but not limited to, 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.
Issued in Washington, DC, on December 4, 2025.
Walter Burrows,
Acting Executive Director, FAA, Office of Hazardous Materials Safety.
