LABOR RELATIONS DEPARTMENT PIV "CARD - OUT" PROCEDURE TO EXIT FAA HEADQUARTERS Effective April 3, 2017, DOT will require employees at FAA Headquarters (Buildings 10A and 10B) to use their PIV card to exit the building. This "card out" procedure entails swiping the PIV card at the tu rnstiles to exit the building . The current "card out" procedure only a pplies between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. on weekdays, and on weekends . It will now be expanded to all hours of the day to be consistent with the "card out" procedure at the DOT Headquarters building. This procedure will not apply to the FAA Regional Offices. Employees who forget their PIV card will be provided a temporary plastic ID card for a day , which can be read by the turnstiles to enter and exit the building. There will be broadcast messaging to notify Headquarters personnel of the new exit procedures. Posters publicizing the change will also be placed at the lobbies of both buildings. Addi tional guards will be available to help assist personnel as implementation begins. POC: Labor Relations Representative Melinda Kim .
