This bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to improve and expand electronic filing capabilities for Form 337, which documents major aircraft repairs and alterations . It mandates the creation of secure application programming interfaces (APIs) within 12 months, allowing for voluntary integration by third-party software platforms and service providers. These new electronic systems and interfaces must incorporate robust safeguards, including authentication, data integrity, and cybersecurity protections , alongside measures to protect personally identifiable information. The legislation explicitly states that the use of these electronic filing options will be voluntary and will not impose any additional certification, reporting, or recordkeeping requirements on users. Furthermore, the bill includes strong privacy provisions, requiring data minimization , limiting public disclosure of personal information, and prohibiting the use of collected data for commercial solicitation or surveillance. The Administrator is also encouraged to consult with stakeholders during implementation and must utilize existing information technology platforms and cybersecurity standards to avoid creating duplicative systems or new regulatory burdens.
