Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall— identify, at the discretion of the Administrator, not less than 3 processes of the FAA that result in a certification and require paper-based information exchange between external entities and the FAA or offices within the FAA (such as an aircraft certification, aircraft registration, or airmen certification) or authorization, an exemption, or a letter of authorization; and initiate the digitization of such processes.
In carrying out the digitization required under subsection (a), the Administrator shall ensure that the digitization of any process allows for— an applicant to track the application of such applicant throughout the period of submission and review of such application; and the status of the application to be available upon demand to the applicant, as well as FAA employees responsible for reviewing and making a decision on the application. Not later than 2 years after the date on which the Administrator initiates the digitization under subsection (a)(2), the Administrator shall brief the appropriate committees of Congress on the progress of such digitization.
In this section, the term digitization means the transition from a predominantly paper-based system to a system centered on the use of a data management system and the internet.
