Using the FAA’s Dynamic Regulatory System (DRS)

A guide to aid navigating the DRS efficiently.

Generating regulatory basis reports

The following types of Regulatory Basis Reports can be generated in DRS:

  1. Regulatory Basis Report by CFR Part based on Date
  2. Regulatory Basis Report by CFR Part based on Amendment
  3. Regulatory Basis Report by Subpart/Appendix based on Date
  4. Regulatory Basis Report by Subpart/Appendix based on Amendment

For Certification Basis, decide whether you want to run the report based on the "date" or "amendment" linked to the application date.

Follow these steps:

  • Navigate to the Regulation Related Documents and Reports section.
  • Select Regulatory Basis.
  • Select one of the radio buttons - “Report by CFR Part” or “Report by Subpart/Appendix”
  • Select one of the tabs - Created By “Date” or “Amendment” (Created By Date is selected by default)
  • Check the bright blue Parts list on the left.
  • Reports are organized by Part for easy reference.
Important Note: Reports are visible for 30 days and are then automatically purged from the system. Ensure you save or archive any crucial information before the expiration period.

The part I want isn't listed!

If the Part you want is not listed, follow these steps to generate a report for the Part or for a Subpart/Appendix within the Part

  • Click the upper-right dark blue box labeled "Generate New Report"
  • Select the CFR Part and optionally select Subpart/Appendix values, and choose either date or amendment. Click the "Generate Report" button.
  • For the amendment option, select the CFR Part first.
  • The report gets generated.
  • To view the generated report, first select the radio button “Report by CFR Part” or “Report by Subpart/Appendix” depending on whether you generated the report for just a CFR Part or included a Subpart/Appendix.
  • Click on the Part from the Parts list on the left
  • The report will be displayed on the right. Open it to view sections listed with each paragraph showing the relevant amendment and date.
  • If the report already exists for the Part/Subpart/Appendix and Date/Amendment you selected, a notification will appear and you won’t be able to generate a duplicate report.
