To direct the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to improve and expand electronic filing capabilities for Federal Aviation Administration Form 337, and for other purposes.

This bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to improve and expand electronic filing for Form 337, which records major repairs and alterations to aircraft. Within 12 months, the FAA would make secure application programming interfaces available, where technically feasible, so third-party software can connect to the Form 337 filing system. Using electronic filing or third-party connections would be voluntary and would not add new reporting, certification, or recordkeeping requirements. The bill limits data collection to what is needed, bars the FAA from publicly posting personal information of aircraft owners, operators, mechanics, or registrants unless otherwise required by law, and bars using the information for commercial solicitation, surveillance, or profiling.
