CBO Recognition Maintenance and Rescission

In plain language

If a CBO's recognition is rescinded, its safety guidelines may no longer be valid for recreational operations under Section 44809.

Requirement as structured

A recognized CBO should coordinate with the FAA prior to making changes to its safety guidelines or underlying recognition information to prevent rescission of its status.

Original regulatory text

If any information that served as the basis for the underlying recognition changes subsequent to recognition, including its safety guidelines, the recognition may no longer be valid. The FAA recommends that a recognized CBO coordinate with the FAA prior to making any such changes to ensure continued recognition... Therefore, if a recognized CBO changes its safety guidelines without coordination with the FAA or no longer meets the requirements of 49 U.S.C. § 44809(h), the FAA will notify the CBO of the deficiency. If the CBO is unable to meet the requirements of § 44809(a)(2) or (h) after such notification, the FAA will issue a letter of rescission and remove the CBO’s name from the website.
