Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 40123, certain 

voluntarily provided safety and security 

information is protected from disclosure 

to encourage persons to provide the 

information to the FAA. The FAA must 

issue an order to make certain findings 

before the information is protected from 

disclosure. The FAA’s rules 

implementing that section are in 14 CFR 

part 193. If the Administrator issues an 

order designating information as 

protected under 49 U.S.C. 40123, that 

information will not be disclosed under 

the Freedom of Information Act (5 

U.S.C. 552) or other laws except as 

provided in 49 U.S.C. 40123 and 14 CFR 

part 193. 

On March 19, 2009, the FAA 

published a proposed order that, if 

adopted, would have designated certain 

information in the FAA’s wildlife 

database as information protected under 

part 193. This proposed order was 

issued under 14 CFR 193.111, which 

sets out the notice procedure for 

designating information as protected. 

The FAA invited interested persons to 

participate in this proposal by 

submitting written comments, data, or 

views. We also invited comments 

relating to the economic, environmental, 

energy, or federalism impacts that might 

result from adopting the proposals in 

this document. The comment period 

concluded on April 20, 2009. The FAA 

received 47 comments, the majority of 

which were not in favor of protecting 

the database. 

After further review and 

consideration, the FAA has determined 

not to proceed with an order designating 

information in the National Wildlife 

Aircraft Strike database as protected 

under part 193 at this time. The FAA 

will modify the public Wildlife Aircraft 

Strike Web site to make the database 

available to all users consistent with the 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and 

Agency policy. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on April 22, 

2009.

Acting Associate Administrator for Airports.
