This action reopens the comment period to Sept. 23, 2021 on the Safety Management System (SMS) proposal for the certificated airports supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) published July 14, 2016. In the SNPRM, the FAA proposed to amend certain requirements included in the initial NPRM published on Oct. 7, 2010. Most notably, the FAA revised the proposed applicability of the rule so that a SMS is only required for a certificated airport classified as a small, medium, or large hub airport in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems; serving international air traffic; or having more than 100,000 total annual operations. The FAA also proposed changes that would extend the implementation period from 18 to 24 months and require submission of an implementation plan within 12 months instead of six months from the effective date of the final rule.
