developed. Full facility training will be necessary and p lans will be made accordingly. The Southwest Regional Administrator's office is involved and providing support. Additional research has been done in support of the ATKNN SID request o ff of KELP. This project has been cancelled because automation mitigations are available and preferred by all facilities involved. Workgroup meetings continue to support the request to change the SID structure off of KDAL. D10 to ZFW delivery points are s till being worked on, but meetings in October, November, and December have been scheduled to complete notional designs that can then be worked through the Community Engagement Process and moved forward in the development process. Controllers from D10 and ZFW are being included in the Established on Departure HITLs being run for the Atlanta airspace. These activit ies are scheduled for November. Please n ote: Continued review and support of ERAM ER136427 (Proper ERAM SID Functionality) is requested . Sabu Var ghese, ZFW NATCA Automation Rep , is working and keepin g affected facilities updated. It has been placed in a "future" bucket by the NUT (National User Team) because of its size (cost) and complexity , but we are hoping for attention to it soon. Brent Luna, CSA PBN NATCA Art. 48 Metroplex Study Team Lead Monthly Report – 9/24/16 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 through 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 are as and environmental hot spots. The final report has been signed by the Director of Airspace Services. A kickoff date for the D&I phase has yet to be determined. The D&I phase will co mmence when ZLA has determined it can commit the appropriate resources to the Las Vegas project after the implementation and post - implementation of the SoCal Metroplex procedures has been accomplished. The study team analysis of the conceptual designs has determined roughly $7.5M in potential annual benefits to the Las Vegas Valley with an $11M overall estimated cost to the agency. Pre - design coordination involving community involvement has already commenced . We continue to work with the VOR MON program to determine the most efficient way to integrate the ongoing work being done by VOR MON with the need to replace procedures through the current PBN processes. The next VOR MON/PBN meeting is scheduled for December 1, 2016. We continue to work with AJV - 14 to add additional co - lead support in each of the Service Centers to do this extra procedure design and development. We also continue to work with AJV - 14 to improve the PBN Dashboard by finding ways to validate the accuracy of the Dashboard data along with eff orts to examine the consistency of the data. The PBN Dashboard is the main support tool used
