Section 1. This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) represents the results of negotiations between the Parties arising from METAR/TAF Conversion on the Model 1 Full Capacity System. Within 30 days of the effective date of this agreement, the employer agrees to place a copy of this MOU in the read and initial (R&I) Binder at all facilities where NAATS bargaining unit members are employed.

Section 2. In recognition of the fact that the METAR/TAF conversion may initially adversely impact pilot briefings the Parties agree to convene a joint NAATS/FAA work group. The work group shall meet 60 days after the conversion, for the purpose of assessing the effects of METAR/TAF on pilot briefings. No more than two NAATS Representatives shall be on official time, including travel time, unless otherwise in a duty status. The employer agrees to pay travel and per diem, including travel time, for up to two NAATS representatives to participate on this work group. The work group's findings and/or recommendations shall be forwarded to the Parties' national representatives for review. Any pilot briefing adverse impact identified by the work group may be addressed and discussed by the Parties at the national level.

Section 3. The employer agrees to forward advance copies of all National Change Proposals (NCPs) that would affect the program function of the Model 1 Full Capacity System that will be included in new version software changes.
