OSHA: Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) MOU Webinar
The Slate Book CBA went into effect over one year ago. Contained within the CBA is an
MOU that requires the Agency to a dhere to the Indoor Air Quality Program
Implemen tation Requirements (IAQ PIR). It is important to immediately report any and all

MOU on Sept. 28 at 1 p . m . E DT . Click here to r egister for the webinar .
SURVEY – TRAINING
The FAA over the next year will be reviewing many aspects of air traffic training,
including proficiency a nd skill enhancement training. One goal is t o identify training
topics that may need to be updated, while investigating new and more effectiv e methods
in program delivery. Your participa tion in completing the linked survey conducted by the
FAA's Center of Excellence for Technical Training and Human Performance will assist
them in identifying the topics and delivery methods to be examined.
NATCA recommends participation in this survey.

SURVEY – IFR/VFR CONFLICTS
ATO's Safety and Technical Training group (AJI) has been asked to assess the
effectiveness of awareness campaign materials related to IFR/VFR co nflicts. The
purpose of this survey is to gather opinions on how IFR and VFR traffic is handled at
your facility. The goal at this time is to gather baseline information on the current culture,
attitudes, and behaviors related to managing potential IFR/VFR conflicts. The plan is to
provide a follow - up survey in about a year, to assess changes in attitudes or behavior
related to IFR/VFR conflicts.
This IVF/VFR Conflict Attitudes survey is voluntary and all responses are anonymous.
No identifiable informatio n is included in this survey. NATCA has recommended
participation in this survey. Please click this link to take the survey:

ATO OPERATIONAL CONTINGENCY GROUP (ATOC)
Jason Grider (ZFW) is the Article 114 Representative for NATCA. Also, included in Mr.
Grider's duties is Article 114 representation for the Business Continuity Plan (BCP). Mr.
Grider's report for this m onth is below:
August was a very busy month . Mr. Grider traveled to the c ommand center following the
ATC - 0 event at ZDC to participate in a scrub of the event. Mr. Grider was part of a team
made up of members of industry and the FAA. The team walked throu gh the event from
beginning to end, and documented all of the lessons learned. The team determined that
one of the areas that most needs improvement is in communication. It was
recommended that a workgroup be put together to find collaborative solutions to the
issues found during the scrub.
