14 CFR Part 193
14 CFR Part 193, titled "Protection of Voluntarily Submitted Information," is a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulation that safeguards certain aviation safety data submitted voluntarily by individuals or entities. Enacted under the authority of 49 USC 40123, it allows the FAA to designate information—such as safety reports or incident data—as protected from public disclosure, including Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, to encourage open reporting without fear of reprisal. For example, Section 193.7 outlines that data under programs like the Voluntary Safety Reporting Program (VSRP) can be shielded if the FAA Administrator determines it meets criteria like enhancing safety (14 CFR 193.7(a)). The regulation balances transparency with confidentiality, ensuring critical safety insights are shared while protecting submitters.
