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the person in writing that the designation is withdrawn.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.
