Congress finds the following: Proper attention to human factors during the development of technological systems is a significant factor in minimizing or preventing human error. The evaluation and monitoring of a new aviation technology or system with respect to human use throughout its design and development may reduce human error in new systems and technologies when used in operational conditions. The technical standard ANSI/HFES 400–2021, Human Readiness Level Scale in the System Development Process defines the 9 levels of a Human Readiness Level scale and their application in systems engineering and human systems integration processes.
Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this section, the Administrator shall initiate a process to review ANSI/HFES Standard 400–2021 and determine whether any materials from this standard can and should be incorporated or referenced in agency procedures and guidance material in order to enhance safety in relation to human factors. In carrying out subsection (b), the Administrator shall conduct a review of the ANSI/HFES 400–2021 technical standard and may consult with subject matter experts affiliated with the authoring organization for such technical standard.
Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this section, the Administrator shall brief the appropriate committees of Congress on the progress of the review required by subsection (b).
