VORMON. ZAU has done an excellent job during the budget crunch and they have done a majority of their T - Route design and coordination in - house and with their adjac ent and underlying facilities. We l ook forward to finalizing those designs and moving them onto publication. Our RNP amendments for KI AH are on schedule to publish Sept. 13. These slight modifications were made for the Established on RNP (EoR) project led by the NextGen Office. We have an additional request from I90 for two more RNPs to create unique paths to the outboard runways in both east and west flow. We are currently work ing on a set of amendments for four RNAV SIDs at KDAL that D10 has requested. Southwest Airlines briefed the OSG this week about the need for two new RNPs for KELP Rwy 08R because of significant terrain close to the airport and limited airspace on our boundary with Mexico. VORMON mitigations cont inue to be an immediate focus. Planning telcons with each ARTCC in Cent ral are being coordinated. The intent of these "VORMON refresher" telcons are to identify areas where the facilities need addit ional information or analysis. We will provide support to help each facility decide what the scope of their mitigations need to b e. The immediate goal for fall of 2018 is to have packages submitted for each ARTCC that cover all VORMON impacts anticipated through PHASE I of VORMON (FY2020). In September, we will work on - site in Columbus, S an Antonio, and Chicago ARTCC. There is one week of c o - l ead m eetings in DC and NATCA is also involved in the development of the new Instrument F light Procedures (IFP) Process. In the near future, all IFP development for both PBN and Conventional product s will follow the same process. It is our goal to ensure all facilities are appropriately coordinat ed with and collaborated with. We still have too many instances where flight procedures get changed without the knowledge or expertise of the field facilities. Submitted by CSA PBN NATCA Art. 114, Brent L una NATCA PBN Co - Lead East Recently in East, we worked on the PXT VORMON STARS, NEC ACR project, BOS Massport Block 1 Study and TDG/LDK/EWA/HAB VORMON activities. There has also been a lot of time spent projecting our schedule and work in FY19. The work on the PXT STARs is almost complete. We s till need to finish the criteria waivers required for the STARs within PHL ATCT. After this work is completed, we will get everything turned in for the 10/10/19 publication date. We have been in constant communica tion with ZDC, ZBW , and ZNY on the NEC ACR work. There have been monthly telcons with all the facilities and they have received their design packages and green book routes for review. The deadline for design package review and signatures is 8/31/18. The gr een book deadline is 10/5/18. The big workload will be finishing the green book routes and combining everything into one document to be given to industry and the Command Center. This document will also be used to amend all the playbook routings. There wa s another BOS/Massport Bloc k 1 meeting the week of July 9 . During this meeting A90, BOS and ZBW worked on designing midnight use RNPs and STARs. A lot
