What this bill does
H.R. 9037 would direct the Federal Aviation Administration to improve and expand electronic filing options for FAA Form 337, the document used to record major aircraft repairs and alterations. Within 12 months of enactment, the FAA would need to make secure application programming interfaces (APIs) available, where feasible, so that third-party software platforms and service providers could voluntarily connect to the agency's electronic filing systems. Any such system would need authentication, cybersecurity, and data-protection safeguards.
The bill affects aircraft owners, mechanics, repair stations, manufacturers, and software vendors who file or process Form 337 records. Use of electronic filing and third-party interfaces would be voluntary, and the bill specifies that it creates no new certification, reporting, audit, equipment, or recordkeeping requirements beyond current law. It also limits the FAA's collection and public disclosure of personal information, bars use of such data for commercial solicitation or profiling, and directs the agency to rely on existing IT and privacy systems rather than build duplicative ones.
The bill was introduced by Rep. Troy Nehls on May 26, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. It has not yet been voted on, and further committee action would be needed before it could advance to the full House.
