The content and filing requirements for the update to the plans applicable to certificated air carriers are set forth in Title IV, section 402, of AIR-21. The additional assurances required to be submitted are described in Paragraphs (a)(1), (2), and (3) of section 402 of AIR-21. Under the section, certificated air carriers must submit their updated plans to the Department and the NTSB within 180 days of the statute's enactment. Since AIR-21 was signed into law on April 5, 2000, updated plans are due to be filed not later than Monday, October 2, 2000.
