FAA BRIEFING ON FAA ORDER 7400.2L, PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING AIRSPACE MATTERS – CHANGE 2 NATCA became aware of changes made to FAA Order 7 400.2L and requested a briefing, which the Agency provided on April 27, 2018. The Agency intends to make changes to Chapter 2, including a flow chart capturing the relationship between AJV - 113 and AJV - 114, and a detailed process for processing special use airspace (SUA) actions. The briefing covered the aeronautical and environmental processes in Appendix 4. NATCA has requested an editorial change regarding Appendix 4, item 3: that ARTCC be replaced with "ATC Facilities" because not all SUA is within the ARTCC jurisdiction.

FAA BRIEFING ON FAA LOCAL ORDER 4665.1F NATCA became aware of changes being made to FAA Order AL 466.1F and requested a briefing, which the Agency pr ovided on April 6, 2018. The Regional Administrator for the Alaskan Region is proposing to make changes to FAA Local Orde r 4665.1F, dated June 17, 2011. The changes were apparently intended to clarify some definitions, including visitor, handicapped, and e mployee parking, and to update current carpooling policies. However, in making these clarifications, the Alaska Region has created a situation in which contract employees who have been parking and carpooling with FAA employees will no longer be permitte d to park in FAA parking. The Alaska Regional Office is following up with NATCA on several items. Formal proposals may be necessary.
