assessment of planned NAS change concepts as a means to prevent the potential onset of  safety hazards and/or unacceptable risk into NAS operations.  The SCT is a team of safety professionals from various FAA Lines of Business (LOBs) and Staff  Offices whose primary objectives are to:  The SCT also assists with the identification and analysis of enterprise-level safety issues within  the NAS environment. This could include facilitating cross-organizational safety assessments  that can be used as input data for the safety risk analysis of new system acquisitions or  operational changes and provide FAA decision makers with information to make risk-informed  decisions.  If necessary, the SCT establishes standing workgroups to address safety issues outside the  scope of FAA Order 8040.4 requirements. The workgroups may perform the following tasks:  The processes and procedures used by these workgroups and the SCT are beyond the scope  of the Safety Risk Management Guidance for System Acquisitions (SRMGSA).  • Provide cross-organizational SRM consultation services for planned NAS change concepts; • Facilitate safety risk assessments for planned NAS changes or other agency safety issues that span LOBs in accordance with the current version of  FAA Order 8040.4, Safety Risk Management Policy ; and • Foster collaboration that supports the advancement and common understanding of cross-organizational safety management among safety professionals. • Conduct research and analysis to identify safety issues and/or trends. • Develop a detailed recommendations report based on the research and data analysis results. • Conduct peer reviews on pertinent safety documents including the recommendations report. • Present the recommendations report to the SCT Chairs for their consideration and subsequent submission to the FAA SMS Committee, risk-based decision makers, applicable acquisition programs, or operational change proponents. 4_SRMGSA_202003  Originally published March 2020  Uncontrolled copy when downloaded  27
