ZBW, and ZJX. These routes will provide additional routes for aircraft capable of domestic offshore flights for ZNY. These routes will be used for offloads and should help with delays in the NY. Two Y-routes will replace M201 from the ZJX boundary into the NY area, along with 13 addition Y-routes to segregate traffic from the Oceanic Airspace over and into the NY area. This project is a continuation of the EWR/JFK SID and STAR project in NEC. The SIDs and STARs project was delayed for coordination with other NEC work. The PXT VORMON Decommissioning Project has been split into several projects. DataComm will force the overall large project to be delayed, but smaller portions of the project can be published earlier. The nine STARs are now being worked with the NEC ACR project by Joey Tinsley (NATCA) and Vicki Turner (FAA). Two of three T-routes in the RNL VORMON project are associated with PXT but will move forward while 13 additional T-routes for PXT will publish after DataComm in FY20. We have been working with Flight Standard (AFS) and AJV-5 in OKC (AIS) to fix several SIDs at MEM that were published incorrectly. Six of 11 SIDs where published with coded altitudes, that causes confusion for controllers and pilots. Depending on which RWY is assigned a "Climb Via" clearance would be issued on the north/south RWYs and "Climb and Maintain" on the east/west configuration. We have work collaboratively with the airlines, AFS, AIS, AJV-8, MEM, and M03 to come up with a solution. AFS has agreed to a waiver for the MEM procedures until a NAS-wide solution can be reached. I want to thank Bennie Hutto (NATCA Criteria Rep) and John Belk (AJV-14) for all their help. Additional project status in the ESA. FedEx and Delta requested RNP approaches into ROA for terrain and safety. We hope to complete this project with AJV-14 approval in the next two months. T-705 will publish in September 2018 to complete the PLB VORMON project. We are waiting for Bermuda (TXKF) to publish the amendment for SOMRR STAR with three additional waypoints to aid ZNY when applying non-radar separation for TXKF arrival and departures. All other projects in Eastern are on hold while AJV-14 continues to evaluate priorities and funding. Projects being reviewed for the remainder of FY 18 are RDU, CVG, ZME, BGR, BNA, and NPA. ESA projects being worked by Joey Tinsley and Vicki Turner are NEC ACR, PXT STARs, TDG/EWA, BOS/MASSPORT. The following is an update on NEC Airspace & Procedures work from AVJ-14. Robert Novia (FAA) and I continue to work on both short and long-term goals of the NEC. Several short-term goals have been completed, set by the NEC NIWG. We worked with N90, ZNY, ZBW, and ZDC to provide "escape routes" off TEB and HPN for high performance aircraft. On a limited basis ZBW has agreed to expand the GREKI playbook for TEB and HPN. Today the GREKI playbook allows airlines to depart east into ZBW then northwest into ZOB. This new GREKI TEB/HPN playbook will allow the select high performance aircraft over GREKI into ZBW then ZOB and additionally ZNY and ZDC.
