to almost 1.5 Billion by FY 2023. This is of particular interest to NATCA because a significant portion of these funds would be directed to trajectory based separation projects and air traffic management science. In light of an increased role for NASA in ATC technologies, NATCA NextGen has ramped up its collaborative efforts with NASA to ensure a robust relationship going forward. MITRE Aviation Advisory Committee On June 24, I represented NATCA at the MITRE Aviation Advisory Committee (AAC) meeting. The AAC consists of senior MITRE leadership, members of the MITRE Board of Trustees, the FAA Administrator, the FAA Deputy Administrator for NextGen and invited senior representatives from industry. Topics briefed included an FAA update by Mr. Huerta, as well as State of the Industry, Integrated Operations in the NAS, and User Equipage by MITRE staff. The MITRE division that hosts this meeting is the Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD). MITRE CAASD is a private, not-for-profit corporation that operates an FFRDC- federally funded research and development center. The CAASD has been the official FAA FFRDC since 1990, although MITRE has been involved in supporting FAA activities for much longer than that. CAASD provides technical and operational analysis as well as complex concept evaluations to the FAA and the aviation community as part of planning for NextGen. Additionally, CAASD is develops air traffic management (ATM) decision support concepts and capabilities; communications, navigation, and surveillance (CNS) concepts and capabilities; airport and airspace concepts and designs; and procedural improvements that will enable efficient time based operations (TSS). The Aviation Advisory Committee provides policy direction and oversight to these activities. OSHA: Mike Odryna (ZBW) is the Chairman of NATCA's OSHA Committee. He has provided an update for the membership. Weekly Meetings: Continuing weekly meeting with Kathleen Edic (AJW-23-A) EOSH Services. POC: (Mike Odryna) New Orleans Lakefront Tower Mold Issues Mike Odryna traveled to New Orleans Lakefront Tower for a meeting regarding the ongoing water and mold issues. It was determined that the concrete block making up the Base building is saturated with water. Several air scrubbers and dehumidifier have been installed. An independent CIH has been hired by the agency to oversee the remediation of the mold. FAA engineers are working on a plan to remove all the damaged sheetrock. POC: Mike Odryna, Geoff Bacci, Nichol Bell, Lawrence Pharr FAA Order 1050.22A Briefing NATCA was Briefed by the agency on FAA Order 1050.22A, Environmental Management System for the Air Traffic Organization.
