management of fatigue risks.
       (3) The FRMS safety assurance procedures must include a formal process to assess:
(a) what impact a change mentioned in paragraph (2)(a) or (b) may have on the effective performance of the FRMS; and
(b) for such a change—what amendment, change or modification may be needed to the FRMS to ensure its continued effective performance.
       (4) FRMS safety assurance procedures must provide for the continuous improvement of the FRMS, by including the following:
(a) the elimination or modification of fatigue-related risk controls that:
 (i) have had unintended negative consequences; or
           (ii) are no longer required because of changes in the ATS provider's operational or organisational environment;
(b) routine evaluations of facilities, equipment, documentation and procedures to determine their implications for fatigue-related risk management and control;
(c) identification of emerging fatigue-related risks to allow the introduction of new procedures and procedures to mitigate such risks.

    4.11 FRMS safety promotion procedures
       (1) FRMS safety promotion procedures for fatigue-related hazards must include training and communication programs capable of supporting and continuously improving all elements of the FRMS in the delivery of optimum safety levels.
       (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), FRMS safety promotion procedures must include the following:
(a) training programs for management, operational persons, and all other relevant personnel to ensure competency levels commensurate with the role and responsibility of the person under the FRMS;
(b) an effective FRMS communication plan that:
           (i) explains all elements of the FRMS to management, operational persons, and all other relevant personnel; and
           (ii) describes the communication channels which they must use to gather, disseminate and apply FRMS-related information.

    4.12 FRMS change management procedures
       (1) For this section, significant change means:
(a) any increase to the values required under paragraph 4.08(1)(a); and
(b) any decrease to the values required under paragraph 4.08(1)(b); and
(c) any other change to any element of the FRMS that does not maintain or improve, or is not likely to maintain or improve, aviation safety.
       (2) The ATS provider must have FRMS change management procedures that clearly indicate how the ATS provider will amend, change or modify any element of the FRMS, consistently with the applicable requirements of this section.
       (3) Subsections (4), (5) and (6) apply on and after 1 September 2024.
       (4) The ATS provider must not make a significant change to any element of the FRMS unless an application to make the change is approved in writing by CASA.
       (5) An application for approval of a significant change must:
(a) be in writing; and
(b) set out the change; and
(c) be accompanied by a copy of the part of the ATS provider's FRMS documentation affected by the change, clearly identifying the change.
