PDRR/ABRR Members of the ABRR/PDRR task team briefed on the current status of the system, ABRR is enabled at all 20 ARTCCs and PDRR is activated at 18 ARTCCs as of June 21st. Other issue discussed was the PDRR 45-minute RAD warning parameter and the process for a site to request the timer be reduced to 35 minutes. Call Sign Starting with a Number AJT briefed the team on an MBI recently distributed updating the procedure for foreign aircraft callsigns beginning with a number. The new procedure specifies adding a "Q" to the beginning of the callsign. The 7110.10 and 7110.65 will be updated to reflect this procedure. STARS Enhancement 2 The task team briefed on the recent meeting with the STARS team, and as a result there were changes made to the 4th Line and Point Out use case. All changes were briefed and use cases updated. The new versions of the use cases will be sent to both teams for review. Route Menu Typing Buffer (ER 191793) The team discussed and reached consensus on the problem statement. The desired behavior is to prevent an incorrect route from being uplinked from the Route Menu. To prevent this behavior the current position will be grayed out and not-selectable in the typing buffer. Although this behavior is latent today, Data Comm exasperates the broken functionality due to eliminating voice readbacks. The agreed upon fixes will be delivered in late August in support of the Data Comm program. The National User Team discussed the need for Data Comm to be incorporated into the National Training Order and that a need exist for guidelines and training on how to conduct OJTI once Data Comm is deployed at a site. At this time AJI has not addressed the issue and sites are developing their own plans as an interim solution. The NUT has formed a task team to explore enhancements to FALCON replay to support the new technology being delivered in programs like Data Comm. Work on these topics is ongoing and NATCA is taking a lead role to ensure that the needs are captured and addressed at all levels. ERAW was briefed on Tech Refresh Early D completion schedule and a proposed timeline for TR2 Full (R-side) deployment. The three TR2 full keysites have not been selected as of this time but the candidates must have completed Data Comm IOC prior to June 1, 2019. There is concern that the TR2 Full schedule could impact commitments made by the North East Corridor (NEC) group in support of expanded metering into PHL for ZNY, ZDC, and ZBW. ERAW also received information on Initial Trajectory Based Operations (ITBO) and the plans to deploy the program into the NAS. ENTERPRISE-INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEM (E-IDS) Amanda Richardson (ZOA) is the Article 114 Representative for Enterprise-Information Display System (E-IDS) work. Mrs. Richardson's report for the membership is below. Background The Enterprise Information Display System (E-IDS) project aims to replace all existing IDSs in the NAS, providing the Agency with one enterprise solution across facility types. While some customization is necessary and should be available, one system will reduce
