Section 1. This memorandum represents the agreement between the Parties concerning Notice N 7930.53, Air Traffic Delays Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) and the proposed change to FAA Order 7930.2, Paragraph 6-51J.

Section 2. The employer agrees that normally a bargaining unit employee's responsibility for providing delay information to pilots is met by notifying the pilot of the single line of delay information contained in the delay NOTAM. Occasions may arise when additional information is provided: i.e., a pilot specifically requests additional information, or when in the briefer's judgment additional information is required/ desirable.

Section 3. During catastrophic equipment failures, or other significant events, the Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC) may be required to implement airport delay programs. While some individual airport delay NOTAMs may be necessary, the employer agrees to make every reasonable effort to distribute this information by other means and not by individual airport delay NOTAMs.

Section 4. The ATCSCC is responsible for the implementation, updating and/or cancellation of delay programs. Bargaining unit employees will be responsible for the issuance of current NOTAMs.

Section 5. If a bargaining unit member is required to contact the originating Traffic Management Unit, the contact telephone number w ill be included with the text portion of the message In the ATCCC file. This may be utilized should additional information concerning the delay program be required.

Section 6. This agreement may be reopened only by Mutual consent of the parties.
