    6 FRMS safety promotion procedures
       6.1 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.
       6.2 For subclause 6.1, FRMS safety promotion procedures must include the following:
(a) training programs for management, FCMs, 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, FCMs, and all other relevant personnel; and
           (ii) describes the communication channels which they must use to gather, disseminate and apply FRMS-related information.

    7 FRMS change management procedures
       7.1 For this clause, a significant change means:
(a) any increase to the values required under paragraph 3.2 (a); and
(b) any decrease to the values required under paragraph 3.2 (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.
       7.2 The FRMS change management procedures must:
(a) meet the requirements of this clause; and
(b) clearly indicate how the AOC holder will amend, change or modify any element of the FRMS consistently with the requirements of this clause.
       7.3 The change management procedures set out in this clause apply to:
(a) an AOC holder with a trial FRMS implementation approval; and
(b) an AOC holder with a full FRMS implementation approval.
       7.4 After issuing an FRMS implementation approval, CASA may, in writing, direct an AOC holder to amend, change or modify the FRMS (including practices and documents), and the AOC holder must comply within the time specified by CASA in the direction.
Note 1   A failure to comply may result in revocation of the FRMS implementation approval.
Note 2   CASA's power to direct changes to an FRMS is an emergency power for safety purposes only. It does not relieve any approval holder of their own obligation to improve the performance of their FRMS where this is safe and practicable.
       7.5 The AOC holder 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.
       7.6 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 AOC holder's FRMS documentation affected by the change, clearly identifying the change.
       7.7 A change to the FRMS that is not a significant change must be:
(a) made
