FAA Safety Assurance System (SAS) API is one of 12 APIs that [U.S. Department of Transportation](https://apis.io/providers/us-dot/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Aviation, Safety, Compliance, and FAA. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

Single-operation submission API for passenger discrepancy reporting into the FAA Safety Assurance System. Air carriers submit hazardous-material discrepancies discovered on passengers or in passenger baggage. The harvested OpenAPI 3.0.0 declares apiKey and appId security schemes (X-API-KEY plus X-APP-ID), so a credential is required; the definition itself is published openly in the FAA portal catalog. The request body carries passenger PII and a PNR locator and is the most sensitive payload in the DOT surface area.
