Is the New Entrant Safety Assurance Process still going to exist under Compliance,
Safety, Accountability (CSA) and, if so, what is the connection between the two
systems?
Answer
The New Entrant Safety Assurance Process, which took effect in December 2009, still
exists under CSA. The CSA Operational Model is performance-driven and new entrants
exhibiting unsafe behavior as indicated by CSA's Safety Measurement System will
be incorporated into the interventions process while remaining in the new entrant
program.
