Description: THE AVIATION SAFETY REPORTING SYSTEM (ASRS) AND RELATED SYSTEMS PROVIDES THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION OF A VOLUNTARY, INDEPENDENT, CONFIDENTIAL INCIDENT REPORTING PROGRAM, AND CONDUCTS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT USING INCIDENT REPORTS TO SUPPORT IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY OF THE CURRENT AND FUTURE DOMAIN SYSTEMS.  THESE SAFETY REPORTING SYSTEMS ENCOMPASS AVIATION, RAILROAD, AND POTENTIALLY OTHER DOMAINS, SUCH AS MEDICINE.  IN AVIATION, THE MISSION OF THE ASRS SINCE 1976 HAS BEEN TO ACQUIRE INFORMATION CONCERNING CURRENT AND POTENTIAL DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES IN THE OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF THE NATIONAL AIRSPACE SYSTEM AND TO MAXIMIZE THE EFFECTIVE USE OF THAT INFORMATION TO FURTHER AVIATION SAFETY AND SYSTEM PLANNING.  THE ASRS DOMAIN FUNCTIONS THROUGH AN INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA).  A RECENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION (FRA) AND NASA AMES RESEARCH CENTER (ARC) HAS ADDED THE CONFIDENTIAL CLOSE CALL REPORTING SYSTEM (C3RS) TO THE ASRS PROGRAM.   C3RS IS EXPECTED TO EXPAND THE ADVANTAGES OF THE EXISTING ASRS CONFIDENTIAL REPORTING SYSTEM TO THE AREA OF RAILROAD SAFETY.  THE ASRS AND RELATED SYSTEMS IS MANAGED BY THE HUMAN SYSTEMS INTEGRATION DIVISION (CODE TH) AT NASA AMES RESEARCH CENTER, MOFFETT FIELD, CA.
