We were told to expect a reassessment of National PBN Priorities in June of 2018. In Central, we have three design efforts (KCMH, KSAT, KORD) that are very mature in terms of design and well into the Community Engagement Activities that have been identified by each project site. We sent an immediate rebuttal requesting further information and reconsideration for these three project sites. These issues are brought about because of budgetary concerns and a lack of funding to support the requests we have received. At this point, we haven't been able to get the KSAT and KCMH projects included on the list of National priorities and KORD is still being discussed and evaluated. We successfully implemented the Post-Implementation procedures for Austin-Bergstrom Airport (KAUS). There have been a few charting corrections corrected by the facilities but implementation was reported to us as smooth. The budgetary challenges are impacting our ability to meet with facilities and support the larger VORMON effort. The PBN Office does not have the funds to pay for the development of PBN procedures that help mitigate the negative impacts from VORMON. We will need to find the necessary funding or delay any decoms that can't get the proper mitigations. The PBN work done for Gary-Chicago International is being highlighted soon via FAA news channels. I'll provide a link on the next report. Efforts are underway at KDFW, KIAH, and KMSP for development of missed approach procedures that may mitigate some of the impacts from CRO. Each site is different. The NextGen office has been working with KIAH for some time and we are working to have them added as a priority for publication funding. KDFW workgroups are meeting to develop a workable concept for Rwy 13R Arrivals and Rwy 18L Departures. KMSP has also made a similar request within the last few weeks.
