the elements of § 193.7, or if the require-
ments of the designation are not met. 
The FAA withdraws the designation by 
notifying the person in writing that 
the designation is withdrawn. The 
withdrawal is effective on the date of 
receipt of the notice or such later date 
as the notice may state. Information 
provided during the time the designa-
tion was in effect remains protected 
under this part. Information provided 
after the withdrawal is effective is not

gated by the Administrator to Asso-

tion to address the safety or security 
condition. 

(b) Unless an emergency exists, be-

fore disclosing information to approval 
holders the FAA will contact the sub-
mitter of the information.
