meeting is scheduled for the week of August 15 and DOV, ORF, ACY, ROA and the US Air Force will be invited to join the group. A meeting will be scheduled in October or November to bring N90 and the full group together to finalize the designs. Designs have been completed and are under development by AJV-5 that include RNPs at ORF, BDL, BVT, eleven SIDs and one STAR at MEM. Five amended STARs published this past week at SDF to solve safety issues. There have been no issues reported from ZID or SDF at this time as we move to post implementation and close the project. ACRP has request fourteen STARs be amended to coincide with their project publication expected in October of 2016. We will continue to coordinate efforts with ACRP and Florida metroplex to accomplish this goal. Other projects of significance being worked in the ESA; RDU RNPs were designed with waivers which several FMS can't process and the STARs will be amended to meet criteria. JAX MARQO STAR does not meet ATC needs and Headquarters has requested we look at the BWI TERPZ RNAV SID due to noise issues. ZME requested to amend their Q-routes and FEDEX has requested amendments to the STARs and RNPs at MEM, along with the development of three RNPs at ROA. Submitted by Bill Wise – ESC OSG PBN NATCA Article 48 Lead WSC OSG PBN – July 2016 6/28 Conducted two telcons, one for the LAS SITTEE STAR and one for the HND SIDs. These were follow-up telcons to finalize designs and gain workgroup concurrence to declare pencils down. Both procedures have been forwarded to FPT and environmental. A CATEX has been issued for the SITEE STAR and the procedure has been forwarded to OKC for publication in January of 17. The HND SID amendments did not pass initial environmental review at the service center and is being sent to DC for environmental processing at HQ. These procedure amendments are slotted for publication in June with an August back up. The Henderson SIDs is high visibility with Lynn Ray in support of NBAA's request for these designs. 6/28 Conducted a telcon with NCT and ZOA to finalize T-route designs for Northern California. This project involves amending 4 existing T's and creating 3 new routes. This project supports NCT in their need for new routes in the wake of Metroplex as well as the decommissioning of Maxwell and Manteca VORs. These procedures have been forwarded to environmental for review and have been placed on the docket for the rule making process. 6/29 Held a meeting of the full work group to design new SIDs for Boeing Field. These procedures will satisfy two needs. For RWY 13R, the new procedure will correct a safety issue with the legacy SID where flight crews are misreading the current procedure and turning towards the SEA VOR just to the south of BFI instead of continuing straight out. This causes a loss of separation with arrivals on the Seattle final landing Seatac. The benefit of the 31L SID will be to help decouple Seatac Airport departures (north flow) and BFI airport north departures through the use of altitude restrictions. This will increase efficiency for both airports during certain weather conditions when visual separation cannot be applied. Currently looking for a volunteer air carrier to SIM the procedures as the "lead operator" has balked. 7/12-14 Participated in a meeting at D10 TRACON at DFW with the NEXTGEN office for EoR. The purpose of this meeting was to introduce the concept of TF EoR to the facility. Facility NATCA, Management and representatives from American Airlines were present. A briefing was provided to describe what EoR is and how it has been utilized in Denver. The facility then briefed the EoR team on how operations work at DFW to familiarize the EoR team. Both NATCA and management expressed interest in moving forward in the futures with design and implementation of TF RNPs and EoR. 7/18-22 Participated in a full work group kick-off meeting to design and implement three new RNAV STARs. Two serving Elmendorf AFB and one serving
