### Subsequently, on August 24, 2016, Respondent filed it$

**rt:~pom;e** 

### to Complainant's First Set of Discovery Requests. In response to request for admissions Respondent admitted the allegations alleged in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Complaint Rtlspondt:nt admitted Richard Wcbbcr was not added to its random drug and alcohol testing pool tmtil on or about April 6, 2015; and prior to April 6, 2015, Mr. Webber performed piloting duties, a safety-sensitive function, for Felts Field. 10

### As a result ofRespondent's admissions, no genuine issue ofmaterial fact remains for a hearing. Respondent has admitted all of the allegations in paragraphs l 

### through 6 of the Complaint The only paragraphs in the Complaint that Respondent has not admitted are paragraphs 7 and 8. However, the allegations in paragraphs 7 and 8 do not contain material facts. But rather, the allegations in paragraph 7 and 8 contain legal assertions that are uncontroverted. PursLiant to 14 C.P.R. §§ 

### !20.105 and 120.215(a), Respondent was required to subject employees who perform safely-sensitive functions to dmg and alcohol testing in accordance with 14 CF.R.

### § 40.ll(a) and (b), Respondent is responsible for meeting and carrying out all ofthe drug and alcohol testing requirements set forth in 14 C.f.R. part 120 and 49 C.F.R. part 40; and Respondent is responsible for all actions of its officials, representatives, and agents. 14 

### Furthcnnore, 49 C.P.R. § 40.!5(c) states that Respondent's good faith use ofa service agent is not a defense in an entorcement action initiated by a Department ofTranspm1ation ("DOT") Agency in which Respondent's alleged noncompliance with a DOT drug and alcohol regulation may have resulted from the service agent's conductY A service agent is any person or entity,

### Pursuantto 49 C.F,R. 

### §§ 40.11 and 40.IS(c), Respond<;>nt has a responsibility to comply with all DOT drug and alcohol testing regulations, <md such responsibility may not be delegated to Respondent's agents. In this case Respondent used First Advantage as a service agent and relied on First Advantage to ensure compliance with 14 C.F.R. part 120 and 49 C.P.R. part 40. Respondentrelied on First Advantage so heavily that it failed to notice Richard Webber was not included in the random drug and alcohol selection pools during selections made in July 2013, October 2013, January2014, April2014,July2014, October2014, and Januat-y 2015 17 

### Indeed, Respondent relied on First Advantage so greatly that it failed to realize a safety-sensitive employee was not included in seven (7) consecutive random drug and alcohol sdection pools. Respondent's rdiance on First Advantage was not r<;>usom;ble; and its assertions ofreliance on Fir:;t Advantage is not a valid defense, Pursuant to regulatory requirements, Respondent had a duty to comply with allDOTdrng andalcuhol testing regulations-including 14 C.P.R. part 120. As a result, Respondent's failure to include Mr. Webber in seven (7)

### IS For the multiple violations committed by Respondent, the Complainant seeksto assess a civilpenalty of

### $11,000 against Respondent. Under49U.S.C. 

### §46301(a), Respondent is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $11,000 lor each ofthe violations alleged. The Complainant determined a total civil penalty of $11,000 was appropriate pursua11t to the guidance ofFAA Order

### No. 2150.313. According to FAA Order 2l50.3B, a moderate to maxunum civil penalty is recommended for failing to include a safety-sensitive employee in fAA mandated drug and alcohol

**te~ting** progr81lls. 19 A pilot is a safety-sensitive employee. Under the 

### FAA's classifkations ofoperators,

**R<l~pondent** isconsidered a Group

### IV operator. A maximumpenalty for a Group 

### IV operator ranges from $4,400 to 

### $11,000; while a moderate penalty ranges from 

### $2,200 to $4,3\1\1.20 ln this case, Respondent failed 

### t" include Richard Webber in its drug and alcohol program for years and allowed Mr, Webber to operate 

### over 60 part 

### 135 flights on its behalf. Failing to subject a flight crew memberto random drug and alcohol testing for years wuld lead to the performance ofsafely-sensitive workin an impaired state. Respondent'sfailure to include Richard Webber in its random drug and alcohol testing progr81ll for such an extended period

# ,,r time and allowing Mr. Webber to operate part 135 flights on its behalfwere careless acts that 18 SeeFelts PieldAviation, fnc., Duty andFlightTime Records for Richard Webber (Exhibit C·5), 19 SeeFAAOrder2150.38, Appendlx B, fig. B·5·b(l). 20 ld, atp. A-3- B·4.

### 11/40 10 poseda substantial thr.,atto airsafety. Furthermore, Respondent'sactionsposeda highdegree of hazard to the safety ofthe pllblic. Each time Respondent failed to include Richard Webberin a random drug and alcohol testing pool, while simultaneously permitting Mr. Webber to conduct

**safety~sensitive** functions, was a violation of 14 C.F.R. §§ 120.105 and !20.215(a). As a result, such acts arc consideredaggravating factors. 21 Consequently, the FAAassesseda maximum civil penalty of$11,000 for this case. Under the facts and drcumstances ofthis <:ase, a maximum civilpenaltyis consistentwiththe FAA's guidance inFAAOrder2150.3B. Accordingly, Complainant's selected civil penalty of $11,000 is within the range indicated in the FAA's sanction guidance, and is not arbitrary, capricious, or othetwisc not accordingto law. 

### IV. CONCLUSION Based onthe foregoing, Complainant is entitled to a decision in its favor thatRespondent committed the violations charged and should be assessed a civil penalty of $11,000, In the allemative, Complainant moves for an order issuing a decision that Respondent committed the violationsalleged, andlimitingthe scope ofthe hearingtothe aml)unt ofthe civilpenalty.

### 26/40

We are in receipt of your correspondence of April 

### 16, 2015. Our employee, Richard Webber, was enrolled with First Advantage at the time he was employed as 

### a Charter Pilot in 2008. That test was reported under the name Felts Field Aviatiort and was conducted underAccount Number 146523-00000. This name and account number has been used continuously since the date of Mr. Webber's testing. At no time, did Felts Field Aviation request that Mr. Webber's name be deleted from the list of employees requiring drug/alcohol testing. At no time, did Felts Field Aviation receive a notice from First Advantage that Mr. Webber was being removed from the program. It is unknown why his name did not continue on the roster after being enrolled in 2008. Mr. Webber was reentered into the program on April 6, 

### 2015 by Felts Field Aviation, Because of this oversight, we are currently modifying our program· by adding CoDesignated Employer Representatives to insure that this problem does' not reoccur. The two employee sharing this responsibility will be located at the airport facility and be responsible for compliance with 

### 14 CFR Part 120 and 49 CFR Part40. Both the Designated Employer Representatives have a long successful career in performing aviation administrative duties. They are presently preparing to assume these responsibilities in the near future. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time. Respectfully,
