The Security and Investigations Division (AMC-700) is staffed with Special Agents who conduct Internal Investigations, Facility Security Inspections, Personnel Security Adjudications, Regulatory Investigations, International Visitors, as well as liaison duties for all Federal, State, local, tribal and International law enforcement agencies. AMC-700 is also involved with the International Visitors Program at the Aeronautical Center. AMC-700 is a tenant organization, reporting directly to the Deputy Associate Administrator for the Office of Security & Hazardous Materials Safety (ASH-2) in Washington D.C. However, this organization also supports the Aeronautical Center Director and serves as the Servicing Security Element (SSE) for the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center (MMAC).

International Visitors Program (IVP)

Each year, approximately 4,000 aviation professionals participate in the International Visitors Program (IVP). Whether touring headquarters or attending training at other FAA facilities like the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center (MMAC), the focus of the IVP is on advancing international cooperation in the research, development, and acquisition of aviation system and technologies that enhance aviation safety.

Through the IVP, the FAA is able to build and foster stronger relationships with civil aviation counterparts and provide foreign visitors with the opportunity to improve their knowledge of agency programs and technologies.

Arranging a visit:

1. Prior to submitting an IVP request, the sponsor (an FAA employee) must contact the appropriate staff in the FAA Office of International Affairs (API) for situational awareness, potential concerns, and assistance with planning any visit by a foreign national to an FAA facility.
• View a listing of FAA API Desk Officers and Senior Representatives by country.
2. The sponsor must submit a request on behalf of a foreign national planning a visit to an FAA facility.
   • Use the automated IVP application web site.
   • NOTE: The information required on FAA Form 1600.78, Request for Visit by Foreign Nationals is the same information that is required in the automated system.
3. Requests must be submitted a minimum of 10 business days in advance of the visit for security to process. Be advised that at times we do experience a backlog of visit requests; therefore, we recommend forms are submitted as far in advance as possible to ensure an approval is received in time for the visit.
   • NOTE: Requests submitted to the system with less than 10 days before the visit cannot be approved by security and are subject to Facility Manager approval without the benefit of identity validation.
