When am I required to update my program registration, Letter of Authorization (LOA), or Operations Specifications?
The FAA requires you to update your program registration, LOA, or Operations Specification when the following information changes:
- Company name
- Certificate number
- Telephone number
- Address where your drug and alcohol testing program records are kept
- Type of safety-sensitive functions you or your employees perform
- Whether your safety-sensitive employee count changes from 50 or more to 49 or fewer)
To make changes to your Operations Specification, please contact your FAA Principal Operations Inspector (POI) or Principal Maintenance Inspector (PMI). To make changes to your LOA, please contact the Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) who issued your LOA and provide the updated information. To change the information on your program registration, please submit your amended registration form to the Drug Abatement Division at drugabatement@faa.gov.
