Risk Acceptance and Safety Documentation Review  Section 6  The risk acceptor is accountable for:  If the affected party is outside of the Air Traffic Organization (ATO) (e.g., navigation or weather  services), each organization responsible for establishing requirements for contracted services  accepts the risk into the NAS. Lines of Business (LOBs)/organizations outside of the ATO  (e.g., Office of Airports, Office of NextGen, Office of Commercial Space Transportation, or  Office of Aviation Safety) are also responsible for components of the NAS and have a role in  accepting safety risk. ATO vice presidents, directors, managers, and supervisors must work closely with their  counterparts in LOBs/organizations outside of the ATO to help ensure that the appropriate party  or parties accept and manage any safety risk resulting from NAS changes. Again, it is not in  compliance with ATO policy to implement a NAS change without having first accepted any  associated safety risk. Refer to  Federal Aviation Administration Order 8040.4,  Safety Risk  Management Policy , for policy on cross-LOB risk acceptance.  91 6.4_SMSM_201904  Originally published April 2019  Uncontrolled copy when downloaded  6.4.2  Risk Acceptance Outside of the Air Traffic Organization  • Coordinating a reassessment of the predicted residual risk, safety performance target(s), and/or monitoring plan if a safety requirement identified by the SRM panel cannot be implemented. • Determining the need to reconvene an SRM panel if performance data indicate that the predicted residual risk is not met and/or if the risk management strategy is proven to be inadequate; and • Ensuring that performance data needed for the monitoring activities is being collected and analyzed to verify that the safety performance target(s) are being met; • Ensuring that all monitoring activities are being recorded in the Safety Management Tracking System;
