Sensitive Position. SEAD 3 is a new electronic reporting tool for BUEs who hold a security clearance or occupy a sensitive position. The MOU provides the following for these affected BUEs: • Prior to implementation of SEAD 3, affected BUEs will receive instructions on the SEAD 3 reporting requirements. • Affected BUEs in the Staff Support Specialist, TMC, ATCS, FSS and NOTAM bargaining units will receive a Mandatory Briefing Item (MBI) on the reporting requirements. All other affected BUEs will receive the information via email to their FAA.gov email address. • Although SEAD 3 requires affected BUEs to report specific information regarding unofficial foreign travel (e.g., destination(s), itinerary), in accordance with NATCA's CBAs, SEAD 3 does not require a reason for annual leave requests. • Reporting potential security or counterintelligence concerns in SEAD 3 satisfies the reporting requirements under FAA Order 1600.69B and ER-4.1 Standards of Conduct. • Reporting arrests or drug/alcohol related treatments under FAA Order 3930.B satisfies the reporting requirements under SEAD 3. • Incidents/occurrences previously reported in SF86/eQIP submissions are not required to be reported again in SEAD 3. • Upon request, affected BUEs will receive a copy of previously submitted SEAD 3 information annually, or when filing or updating the SF86/eQIP. • The Agency is required to provide affected BUEs with sufficient duty time—and for those without a personal work station, a computer with privacy, Internet access, and a printer—to submit SEAD 3 reports.

The affected BUEs should have already received two emails about filing the OGE-450, and the Agency will notify future affected BUEs on a monthly basis beginning March 1, 2019, and each month thereafter. Affected BUEs must file an OGE-450 form by March 7, 2019. (The date was extended due to the shutdown.) POCs: Region X RVP Curt Howe and Labor Relations Attorney Suzanne DeFelice FAVES FNS On July 10, 2018, the Agency sent notification that it intended to launch the FAA Administrative Voice Enterprise Services (FAVES) Notification System (FNS).
