The FAA’s recommended practice to "identify bulk shipments of currently excepted lithium batteries by information on airway bills and other documents provided by shippers" already is required by the international dangerous goods regulations, which PRBA fully supports. In addition, FAA’s recommendation that operators "Pay special attention to ensuring… compliance with existing regulations" is consistent with PRBA’s position that increased FAA enforcement ensuring that shippers fully comply with the regulations will best improve transport safety. — PRBA Executive Director George Kerchner
