DCA, as part of Lynn Ray's test case for the Environmental Outreach Policy. Bennie Hutto (NATCA) and John Belk (FAA) will be the Co - Leads for the LAZIR - B. The scope an d visibility require special attention and focus of individual leads. Another special project we are working is Bermuda (TXKF). This project is an International commitment by the FAA for two RNAV STARs and two RNAV SIDS in ZNY to feed TXKF. We took advanta ge of the ACRP meeting to meet with the ZNY POCs for the TKXF project. o We turned the BOS STARs over to AJV - 5 the first week in December and are now moving forward with LOAs, SOPs, training and publication. It is early in development but AJV - 5 made change s to the procedure without approve. We have not dealt with this because of the Holiday's but will have it corrected next week. SDF STARs will be delivered to the FPT next week and will continue to work pre - publication issues. RDU RNP project is on hold bec ause of possible airspace changes and amendments to all the ST ARs because of criteria issues. o During the next few weeks we will form Work Groups (WG) for nine SIDs at MEM, STARs/SIDs/RNPs at CVG, STAR/SID at TEB and RNPs at ORF and BDL. We are working de commissioning projects for DKK (T - routes), PLB (T - routes), CMK (T - routes), and PXT (STARs, T - routes). The ZID Q - route WG should finalize the designs before the next update. o Bill Wise, ESA PBN Rep ยท Metroplex Study Team Lead o The Las Vegas Metroplex Study Team completed all of its' conceptual design work by November 6 and then began work on the Study Team Final Report. The Study Team Final Report has now been edited by the team and the Metroplex Program Office Leads and has also finished going throug h the tech writing process. Also, for the first time in the Metroplex study team process, we established direct communication with the local airport authority and the Airport District Office to discuss potential noise sensitive areas and environmental hot spots. 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 conceptual 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 h ave 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. We are also in the process of defining the way forward for projects that are currently underway. o We are also in the process of refining our agenda for the Metroplex Summit Meeting that is currently scheduled to take place on March 1 - 3, 2016 and have also begun preliminary discussions of what Metroplex Segment 2 (S2) will look li ke and the possible prioritization
