PART 193--PROTECTION OF VOLUNTARILY SUBMITTED INFORMATION--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 193.13  What is the no-notice procedure?

    This section states the no-notice procedure for the FAA to designate 
information as protected under this part. This procedure is used when 
there is an immediate safety or security need for the information. This 
procedure generally is used for specific information that you will 
provide on a short-term basis.
    (a) Application. You may request that the FAA designate information 
you are offering as protected under this part. You must state your name, 
at least the general nature of information, and whether you will provide 
the information without the protection of this part. Your request may be 
verbal or writing.
    (b) Designation. The FAA issues a written order designating 
information provided under this section as protected under this part. 
The FAA designates the information as protected under this part if the 
FAA--
    (1) Makes the findings as Sec. 193.7; and
    (2) Finds that there is an immediate safety or security need to 
obtain the information without carrying out the procedures in 
Sec. 193.11 of this part.
    (c) Time limit. Except as provided in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) 
of this section, no designation under this section continues in effect 
for more than 60 days after the date of designation. Information 
provided during the time the designation was in effect remains protected 
under this part. Information provided that the designation ceases to be 
in effect is not protected under this part. The designation remains in 
effect for more than 60 days if--
    (1) The procedures to designate such information under 
Sec. 193.11(a) have been initiated, or
    (2) There is an ongoing enforcement or criminal investigation, in 
which case the designation may continue until the investigation is 
completed.
    (d) Amendment of designation. The FAA may amend a designation under 
this section using the procedures in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this 
section.
    (e) Withdrawal of designation. The FAA may withdraw a designation 
under this section at any time the FAA finds that continuation does not 
meet

the elements of Sec. 193.7, or if the requirements of the designation 
are not met. The FAA withdraws the designation by notifying the person 
in writing that the designation is withdrawn. The withdrawal is 
effective on the date of receipt of the notice or such later date as the 
notice may state. Information provided during the time the designation 
was in effect remains protected under this part. Information provided 
after the withdrawal is effective is not protected under this part.
