o The KMSP Post Implementation has been completing final document reviews after our meetings last month. We have all designs complete except for one outstanding criteria question t hat will be resolved next week. The KIND Post Implementation Project had a Telcon to discuss proper form and distribution package review. Those facilities are looking through the docu mentation to ensure accuracy and these projects will be submitted to the FPT soon. o End of Day Reporting for the December 10th Chart Date has been coordinated and all affected facilities were sent the charts from the Digital Terminal Procedures/Airport Diagrams (d - TPP) website so they c an view them prior to Thursday. There is one problem identified for the KAUS SEWZY2 STAR concerning navigation past the final waypoint. All forms submitted by Central were correct, but a mistake was made at AIS and the fin al waypoint WRRDD will publish as a Flyby WP with no Heading, when it should have been a Flyover WP with a FM Leg (Heading 173) departing the WP. AeroNav is aware and we' ll know the solution next week. Both NATCA and facility m anagement are aware and contr oller briefs are being developed to mitigate. o 7100.43 Rewrite meetings for December were cancelled by AFS. There is another proposal for the .43 from AJV - 5 circulating within Management. This hasn't officially been shared with NATCA, but we have a copy and are awaiting official notification if the Agency intends to put it on the table for discussion. o Upcoming a ctivities include: NorTex Facility Telcon - December 8, to discuss work being done via the 7100.41 process . Chart Date - December 10, 2015 Ce ntral facilities publishing include KSAT, KHOU, KIAH, ZHU, KABQ, ZAB, I90, ZFW . PBN Co - Lead Meetings – Washington , D .

The Study Team Final Report has now been edited by the team and the Metroplex Program Office Leads and has also finished going through the t ech writing process. The final report has been received by the Metroplex Program Manager for delivery to the Director of Airspace Services for a decision on whether to move forward with the D&I phase of the project. The study team analysis of the conceptua l designs has determined roughly $7.5M in potential benefits to the Las Vegas Valley. o There continues to be a lot of energy around the issue of community noise. We're currently involved with efforts to address noise concerns at several locations where PBN procedures have been implemented and to look into ways we can enhance our processes to improve the outreach to the local communities and increase awareness of PBN projects throughout the NAS. In Las Vegas, for example, we met with the local airport aut hority to discuss potential noise sensitive areas and environmental hot spots in advance of our team beginning work, which had not been done before during the study team phase. We continued to communicate with the airport
