The U.S. Department of Transportation's Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a report on July 19 outlining additional steps necessary to make the FAA's Air Traffic Safety Action Program (ATSAP) more effective at identifying safety risks. ATSAP is a voluntary, nonpunitive reporting program established by the FAA in 2008 for air traffic controllers to report safety risks.
