## 5.5.4.2 Waiver Development Guidance: Identify Appropriate Hazards 

Most paragraphs in FAA and ATO orders mitigate a potential safety hazard. Attempt to identify the hazard that the relevant order intends to mitigate to determine the appropriate hazard(s) to address in the safety analysis. If the waiver request is intended to reduce safety risk, make the case in the SRM document and show the waived procedures as a means to reduce risk in the Hazard Analysis Worksheet (HAW). 

## 5.5.4.3 Relationship between the Waiver Request and the SRM Document 

When an analysis is done correctly, all of the waiver requirements should be covered in the SRM document: 

• The “Affected Directive” and “Operations Authorized” sections of the waiver should match the “Description of Change” section of the SRM document. 

• The “Special Provisions, Conditions, and Limitations” section of the waiver should flow out of the HAW section of the SRM document, specifically from the controls and/or the safety requirements. 

• Remember to include any new safety requirements in the SRM document. 

## 5.5.4.3.1 Waiver Renewals 

Waivers must be renewed every two years. When submitting a waiver renewal request, read the current SRM document to determine whether any updates are necessary. Remember, an SRM document must be updated to reflect the current operational environment. All required means to reduce risk, including the publication of information and any refresher training requirements, as delineated in the original SRM document, must be in place. 

For each waiver renewal request: 

• Determine whether the level of safety risk that was introduced with the initial waiver remains acceptable, 

• Use the monitoring plan developed in accordance with the information in Section 3 to allow the responsible organization to determine whether the waiver is working as intended, and 

• Determine whether the provisions of the waiver have matured sufficiently that they should be made available to all others in the NAS through inclusion in FAA Order JO 7110.65. 

Before submitting a waiver renewal request, ensure the monitoring information pertaining to the existing waiver is up to date in SMTS. All proposed modifications to any provision of the current waiver will require a new waiver to be developed with a new SRM document (refer to Section 5.5.4). 

## 5.5.4.3.2 Waiver Approval 

All new waivers and waiver renewal requests will be approved by AJI. AJI will coordinate the approved waiver with AOV, if necessary. Ensure that new waivers and information pertaining to waiver renewals are entered in SMTS.
