The new ERAM processors do not support EBUS, so that backup system is slated for removal. We have strenuously opposed this removal and have worked with the agency to develop the requirements for a replacement ba ckup system. A Safety Risk Management Panel was held last month on this issue and the results are pending. Airborne Reroute (ABRR) conformant route notification is scheduled to be reactivated Oct. 30th, pending success ful testing at the Tech Center. Aft er that, ARTCCs will be able to re - enable ABRR full functionality which will simplify the processing of Traffic Management Initiatives by allowing the TMIs to be sent directly to the controlling sector. All controllers and TMCs should complete the eLMS cou rse before their facility enables ABRR. The National User Team (NUT) held its quarterly meeting the week of Oct. 18 in Washington, D.C. Some of the issues worked on during that meeting include: ER 178785 CID Letter Allocation The team discussed and re ached consensus on the problem statement, its desired behavior is to reduce the incidence of letters in CIDs and when letters are in use better controlling the frequency of their use.
