Narrative:

Inbound to ZZZ at approximately 10000 ft; #1 engine had a compressor stall. Crew reduced thrust on the engine. They notified ATC that they were at reduced thrust and would not be able to take any delays while inbound to ZZZ. I'm told crew did not declare an emergency with ATC or request crash fire rescue equipment standing by. Dispatch was never notified from the captain that while on approach they had a compressor stall and had the engine operating at reduced thrust which is a direct violation of the fom chapter 5; section 10.
