has declared they will not participate if RNP - AR is not designed. AFS took the task to manually design a TF approach and sim it. They will be participating in the kick - off meeting to br ief their results. 11/15 - 17 : Participated in a kick - off meeting at NCT with the new Western NATCA PBN co - lead to assist with his transition into his new role. Multiple procedures were tweaked with fixes the facilities had requested after Metroplex. Additi onally, at the request of the ATM and FacRep , the workgroup was able to open the SERFR STAR and reach consensus on an amendment that will contain arrivals within Class B with the current Class B and the proposed new Class B. Awaiting sim results. 11/21 - 23 : Continued transition to new role. Phil Hargarten, Western PBN Rep/National EoR Rep PBN/Metroplex Design and Implementation Lead Monthly Report The Southern California Metroplex had a successful first implementation on November 9, 2016 , and will follow up this success with procedure implementations in March and April of 2017. The Atlanta Metroplex also had a very successful implementation on November 15, 2016. The Charlotte Metroplex team is looking forward to their upcoming implementation in January 20 17. We continue to try and assist the Florida Metroplex team in getting the agency to provide clear guidance and direction on what community involvement should look like and entail before calling their designs complete and moving on to the evaluation phase . The Denver and Detroit/Cleveland teams continue to progress towards implementation and we are planning to kick off the Las Vegas Metroplex in January 2017 although full design team work will not begin until the fall of 2017. 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 are also work ing with the ACRP (Atlantic Coast Route Project) Leads to support the development of Q routes in the Northeast and then eventually the southern portion of the east coast and we just began the initial work with airspace and route structure in the Caribbean. 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 work brought on by the VOR MON and ACRP initiatives while also trying to develop a prioritization plan to as sist with the efficiency of the projects. We are also engaged in the rewrite of the 8260.43 order that governs the overarching scheduling and prioritization of procedure development in AJV - 5 (Aeronautical Information Services). The 8260.43 re - write workg roup met in Oklahoma City on November 1 - 3 to continue working on the draft document. We are also re - examining the lead operator roles and responsibilities as it relates to the ongoing Metroplex teams and the single site OSG PBN work. We will continue to ha ve telcons with A4A and other industry representatives in the near future to discuss.

We are still working with the agency to try and implement a nat ional prioritizati on process for PBN procedures. Resources are limited and we will not be able to meet all
