an effort to reduce the number of Ts being reques ted (US only all otted 300 T s nationwide). We were able to w ork modifications to existing T s and r educe the number of requested T s by 40% so the Baseline Analysis Report will be updated and submitted this week for approval. ZLA also has a large T - route request and we are a lready looking at interactions with the NCT/ZLA designs in an effort to consolidate. o Completed a Baseline Analysis Report for a new RNP serving Grand Junction, CO (KGJT). The BAR has been approved by AJV - 14 and the full workgroup is being scheduled for a kick - off meeting in Denver. This project will be kicked - off at the same time as a project for a new RNAV SID at Aspen (KASE). Meetings will be at Denver TRACON. A request has been made to AJV - 14 for travel funds for the FacRep and ATM at ASE to come dow n to D01 as it is a small facility with a tight budget and cost prohibitive for c o - leads and contract support to travel to Aspen. The kick - off for these procedures planned for the week of 2/1. Also, completed Baseline Analysis Report for amending an RNAV S TAR serving KSEA (Seattle, WA) and sent it out to the facilities for comment. This BAR will be submitted to AJV - 14 on 12/7. o EoR: Controller refresher training is underway at Seattle TRACON in preparation for the resumption of EoR operations. EoR was im plemented at Seattle on 4/7 but shortly after the center runway closed for construction and EoR was suspended. The third runway reopens on 12/18. I plan to be in the facility once EoR commences to observe. o Projects with processing activity during this period: LAX SID, STARs for BLI/PAE/SUU/AEI/AED, GJT RNP, ASE SID, SEA SID, TUS STARs/SIDs/RNPs, EAT SID, SAN SID, SJC SI D, Guam CAR, Seattle EoR, NCT T s. o Submitted by Phil Hargarten Western OSG Article 48 Rep ยท CSA PBN 20151205 o Over the last two weeks we have been worki ng with KCMH on notional ideas. Our TetraTech Specialist sent over notional designs and it looks like KCMH and ZID have had meetings on their own and have a direction they'd like to see their project go that is different. We wil l discuss this via Telcon with them and make plans to move forward. We have also developed graphics of existing traffic patterns to hel p them in the decision process. Those graphics will go out next week. o The NorTex Metroplex funded project has conclud ed but there may be a desire by D10, ZFW, KDFW, and/or KD AL to make further adjustments. There is a Telcon planned next week to discuss wh at the facilities desire to do. We have requests from Industry already and we'll share those submissions on the call, but this discussion will help us decide what will most likely move forward. o I've been helping the Environmental Specialist working NorTex and KAUS projects by developing graphics, change summaries, and traffic usage to ensure revie ws are completed and submitted. The Environmental Review process continues to evolve and will be a subject for upcoming Co - Lead meetings between all 3 Service Centers.
