PWS - Attachment A GUIDE FOR COMPLETING THE ICE AIR OPERATIONS (IAO) CONTRACT AIRCRAFT DEFERRAL NOTIFICATION FORM

PURPOSE - The IAO Contract Aircraft Deferral Notification form is designed to enhance communication between IAO and its’ large charter contractor to ensure ICE flight conditions of transport meet Performance-Based National Detention Standards (PBNDS) for detainee passengers. This guide provides completion and submission (including required timelines) instructions. As the custodians of detainees aboard these flights, it is IAO’s duty to ensure that these standards are adhered to, as best possible.

The IAO Contract Aircraft Deferral Notification form contains two (2) sections: DEFFERAL ITEM NOTIFICATION and REMOVAL OF DEFERRED ITEM.

The DEFFERAL ITEM NOTIFICATION section is completed when a maintenance item on a contract aircraft is placed into deferral status, prior to departure. Items that must be reported are listed below. IAO would like to be notified of these items as they affect the ability to meet PBNDS standards (IAO reserves the right to add or subtract items to the list if they affect the ability to PBNDS standards).

1. Auxiliary Power Units (APUs)

2. Electrical Power Generation and Distribution

3. Cabin Temperature Control

4. Cabin Pressurization Control

5. Aircraft Seats

6. Aircraft Lavatories

7. Passenger Address System

The REMOVAL OF DEFERRED ITEM section is completed when the maintenance item is repaired and removed from deferral status, to notify IAO that the item has been repaired and any restriction or additional support is no longer required.

The completed form is emailed directly to the appropriate IAO Contracting Officer Representative(s) (COR) and Aviation Safety Officer(s) (ASO) at the status points identified above.
