The Office of the Chief Counsel (AGC) furnishes legal services to the FAA Administrator and all agency organizations worldwide. Our primary functions are providing legal advice, reviewing agency action for legal sufficiency, and providing representational services. AGC's principal legal practice areas include: rulemaking, regulatory enforcement, acquisition and commercial law, airport and environmental law, personnel and labor law, tort and other administrative litigation, international law, legislation and laws applicable generally to the executive branch (e.g., Ethics, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Privacy Act compliance). AGC attorneys represent the agency in a variety of forums, including the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Department of Transportation Administrative Law Judges, and the United States federal courts. AGC also works closely with the Office of the General Counsel of the Department of Transportation on issues that are common to modal administrations or that are of national significance to the aviation industry. In addition to traditional legal services, AGC is responsible for two distinct internal FAA adjudicative functions and the agency's dispute resolution function. First, the Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisition (ODRA), serves as the Administrator's adjudicatory body in acquisition-related matters. Second, a discrete segment of the office supports the FAA's civil penalty adjudication function by serving as a confidential advisor to the Administrator in his capacity as the Civil Penalty Program Decision-maker. (Title 49, United States Code, S 46301). AGC also houses the FAA's Dispute Resolution Specialist, who is responsible for implementing the provisions of the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act within the entire agency. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
