was focused on those facilities where the CPC target was at or below 15, after further
discussions it was agreed that the upcoming chang es will apply to all facilities.
Functionally, the number of personnel that might be released by a facility will be gl eaned
from Column Y of the PPT. A negative number in that column indicates that a facility
may be able to release someone (or several peo ple, based on rounding up to the
nearest integer), although any release would still be predicated on the facility being
above the national averages for both current an d projected CPC/target ratios. For
instance, if facility ABC was showing - .3 in Column Y, it may be able to release one
person. If facility XYZ was showing - 3.8, it may be able to release up to four. The
number of releases would be restricted so that a facility would drop only slightly below
the national averages. This should result in more mo vement in the system, and mitigate
the number of facilities where there are too many controllers on - board to receive new
personnel, but too short to release anyone.
2. Staffing level 9 and below facilities up to 100 percent projected – The NCEPT decided
to adopt the process where the panel will consider additional movements between
"green" facilities at the conclusion of the NCEPT round so as to try to staff level 9 and
below facilities up to 100% projected CPC/target. This has been applied to level 7 and
below facilities in previous panels, and expanded to include level 9 and belo w facilities
on a trial basis. Beginning in June, this will be adopted as a standard part of the process.
Ideally, this change will help get more personnel into the mid - level fac ilities and thus
promote additional upward mobility.
