The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration intends to require US airports holding Part 139 certificates to upgrade their Safety Management Systems to FAA/ICAO specifications. Proposed requirements were detailed in June 2012 in a notice of proposed rulemaking and in draft Advisory Circular AC 150/5200-37A. The regulation, expected to become final in 2014, may apply to Class I, II, III and IV airports. Airlines will be subject to similar requirements from 2013.
