FAA Reopens Comment Period for Airport SMS Proposal
Much time has passed since the FAA released the SNPRM calling for airports to adopt SMS programs, so the agency has decided to reopen the comment period.

The FAA has reopened a comment period for a 2016 rulemaking that would require airports to implement safety management systems (SMS). Published on July 14, 2016, the supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) actually was an update of a proposal from an NPRM that was published in October 2010.
