by the OSG PBN Co - Leads to produce the Baseline Analysis Reviews (BAR) for PBN project requests through the 7100.41A process. We are also engaged in the rewrite o f the 8260.43 order that governs the scheduling and prioritization of procedure development in AJV - 5 (Aeronautical Information Services) although work may soon commence on a prioritization plan with AJV - 14 in the near future. We are currently looking at me eting dates in early November for the 8260.43 re - write workgroup to continue working on the draft document. I am currently the NATCA POC for the SFO CAR (Corrective Action Report). The CAR is reference the DYAMD and SERFR STARs into SFO and an issue with t he descent profile leaving the confines of the Class B airspace with speeds higher than allowed in the FARs. We are looking to start work in the very near future on the amendment to the SERFR (via the 7100.41A process) to bring the procedure back in to com pliance after working through some ongoing community involvement and political issues in the Northern California area. We are also re - examining the lead operator roles and responsibilities as it relates to the ongoing Metroplex teams and the single site OS G PBN work. We will continue to have telcons with A4A and other industry representatives in the near future to discuss. Ed Hulsey, Metroplex Study Team Lead , Art. 48 National Design and Implementation Metroplex: The f unding issue for FY17 and remainder of FY 16 has been resolved. Community Outreach continues to be challenging in developing and implementing PBN in the NAS. Metroplex has developed Community Outreach plans for the sites and outreach has now begun at all sites. There has been some movement on getting plans in place for outreach for our .41a projects , however tho se plans are still disjointed. In addition, the Agency still has several groups working this issue with little or no coordination between them. It is hoped the SCT Metroplex record of decision (ROD) has been signed ; there has been a lot of time and resources spent on getting to this point. There are three scheduled implementations planned for Nov/March/April. The SCT Metroplex team has done an outstanding job getting to this point. Na tional Prioritization: Discussed with Lynn Ray, meeting to be scheduled. PBN MOU addendum: Jodi McCarthy (Deputy VP Mission Support) is working with HR to get this done. Joint Analysis Team (JAT): The team has had several WebEx e s to discuss which data s ets are to be used in measuring time (block times) . I t has been determined that N T exas Metroplex reduced ov erall mileage and increased OPD s, but there was an average of about a min ute longer flight time. The team is still looking at data. Mark McKelligan , (ZBW) National D&I Rep NATCA National Airspace Community outreach is still our biggest challenge moving forward, there are various reasons why it is very difficult to establish a standard process. One issue is each community is diverse and they approach the FAA with various issues in different formats.
