FAA Employee Assault Prevention and Response Plan (EAPRP) Information Collection Renewal

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking public comments on its intent to renew OMB approval for an existing information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The collection specifically concerns Employee Assault Prevention and Response Plans (EAPRPs), which must be submitted by certificate holders — airlines and other aviation operators — that employ customer service agents. This requirement originates from the FAA Reauthorization Acts of 2018 and 2024, which mandated that covered certificate holders develop and submit EAPRPs to the FAA for review and formal acceptance. The plans are designed to protect frontline aviation workers, particularly customer-facing staff, from physical assault and workplace violence. A 60-day public comment period was initially opened on January 29, 2026. This current notice represents a follow-up 30-day comment window before the FAA formally submits its renewal request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Members of the public and industry stakeholders are invited to comment on the necessity, accuracy, and burden of this information collection. The renewal does not introduce new regulatory requirements but continues the existing mandate for certificate holders to maintain and submit up-to-date assault prevention and response documentation to the FAA.
