    Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 6700.20, Approval, Operation, and Oversight of Non-federal Systems, establishes policy for the FAA’s Advanced Systems Design Service Team (ASDS). ASDS is responsible for implementing and managing the FAA’s Non-federal Program under the direction of the Air Traffic Organization. Title 49 of the United States Code, Sub-Title VII, Aviation Programs, authorizes the FAA to regulate non-federal systems. ASDS performs that regulatory function. ASDS manages the approval of non-federal systems designed for use in the National Airspace System (NAS). The team also regulates non-federal systems’ lifecycles, i.e., ownership, installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning. Lastly, ASDS is responsible for the assumption of ownership of non-federal systems.
