INTERIM REPORT – OPTIONS FOR CHANGE<br />

<strong>EASA</strong>.2009.OP.21<br />

4.7 FAA SIAGDP<br />

Attachment C provides some description of the proposed FAA Standardised International<br />

Aircraft Ground De/Anti-icing Programme (SIAGDP). This programme is relevant to this<br />

Study because as stated in FAA Notice N 8900.26 Dec 2007 Policies, procedures, and<br />

requirements are currently under development to authorize an aircraft ground deicing service<br />

provider to be issued a letter of authorization (LOA) to provide aircraft ground deicing<br />

services under an industry standardized aircraft ground deicing program.<br />

This FAA SIAGDP also involves a detailed overhaul of FAA AC 120-60B the document<br />

against which carriers have their de-icing / anti-icing programmes approved by the FAA. A<br />

mechanism that does not exist in <strong>EASA</strong> Member States. Naturally, to avoid duplication and<br />

confliction, any proposed changes to the method of regulation and oversight of operators’ deicing<br />

/ anti-icing requirements ought to be shared with the FAA (and TC) in order to promote<br />

a harmonised system of regulation between the two continents.<br />

LIASFAA. <strong>EASA</strong> should take this opportunity to liaise closely with the FAA, and TC, with<br />

the aim of harmonising future de-icing / anti-icing regulations and thereby<br />

avoiding differing requirements, giving rise to ambiguity and confusion.<br />
