    Background: On October 5, 2018, Congress enacted Public Law 115-
254, the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (``the Act''). Section 335(b) 
of the Act required each certificate holder operating under 14 CFR part 
121 to submit to the FAA for review and acceptance a Fatigue Risk 
Management Plan (FRMP) for each certificate holder's flight attendants. 
Section 335(b) contains the required contents of the FRMP, including a 
rest scheme consistent with current flight time and duty period 
limitations and development and use of methodology to continually 
assess the effectiveness of the ability of the plan to improve 
alertness and mitigate performance errors. Section 335(b) requires that 
each certificate holder operating under 14 CFR part 121 shall update 
its FRMP every two years and submit the update to the FAA for review 
and acceptance. Further, section 335(b) of the Act requires each 
certificate holder operating under 14 CFR part 121 to comply with its 
FRMP that is accepted by the FAA.
