Sponsored By: Representative Knott
Passed House
Summary
Promotes digitizing aviation supply-chain paperwork by commissioning a federal study. This bill would require the Government Accountability Office to identify barriers to using digital documentation and verification tools across the aviation supply chain. The study must evaluate challenges for manufacturers, repair stations, air carriers, aircraft lessors, aircraft brokers, parts brokers, and other participants to adopt digital authorized release certificates such as FAA Form 8130-3. It would also examine standardizing documentation and how to move the Federal Aviation Administration from paper records and physical signatures to digital methods. The GAO report would be due within one year of enactment and the Secretary of Transportation would have 120 days to respond to recommendations.

Study to digitize aircraft parts records
This bill would direct the Government Accountability Office to study roadblocks to using digital records in the aircraft parts supply chain. The study would cover digital release certificates (including FAA Form 8130-3), digital verification tools, standard documents, and moving FAA records and signatures from paper to digital. GAO would send a report with recommendations to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Senate Commerce Committee within 1 year after enactment, including ways for firms of all sizes to adopt tools and how to speed FAA adoption. The Transportation Secretary would have 120 days after that report to respond to any recommendations aimed at the Department. The goal would be to help spot falsified documents and counterfeit parts over time.
