Do the terms of these MOU's apply only to BUE's or are non-BUE's at the facilities and in the RO's included?
ONLY BARGAINING UNIT EMPLOYEES ARE COVERED BY THE MOU. FAAO 3120.29 WILL BE MODIFIED, CONSISTENT WITH THE MOU TO COVER ALL 2152s.

Will an employee who has already traveled to the same destination two times be allowed another two trips to the same place after May 31?
YES. FOR FAM PURPOSES, THE CALENDAR YEAR SHALL BE MAY 31 TO MAY 30.

Which rules are used for a BUE who leaves on a FAM before 5/31/99 and returns after 5/31/99?
THE CURRENT ORDER WILL GOVERN ALL FAMS COMMENCING PRIOR TO 5/31/99.

If an employee has taken a non-duty FAM [prior to May 31], does this FAM count against the six duty FAM's referenced in the FAM MOU?
NO. THE MOU ONLY COVERS FAMS TAKEN AFTER MAY 31.

Will an employee who has used six FAMS before May 31 not be allowed any more FAMS for the rest of the year? Or does the count start over on May 31?
THE FAM YEAR BEGINS MAY 31, 1999 AND EXTENDS THROUGH MAY 30, 2000.

Is the intent in the MOU for ATCS�S to get training in their own private aircraft as the pilot?
NO.

If an individual is bumped on the outbound leg and cannot complete the FAM training until the next day, do they get duty time for both days? What if we cannot approve it the next day? Are they AWOL or do we put them on another FAM day?
NO CHANGE FROM CURRENT POLICY. IF BUMPED ON HIS/HER OUTBOUND LEG, IF THE ALTERNATE IS NOT AVAILABLE, THE TRIP IS CANCELED.

What happens if an employee is "bumped" on the return leg, and must delay travel until the following day. If the following day is the employee�s RDO, and that employee has already worked five, or even six, consecutive days, how is the duty status question resolved?
ALL FAM TRAINING SHALL BE CONDUCTED ON DUTY TIME. EMPLOYEES ENCOUNTERING DIFFICULTIES SHALL COMPLY WITH PROCEDURES CONTAINED IN FAAO 3120.29 AND SUPPLEMENTED BY REGIONAL AND LOCAL POLICY.

What about days-in-lieu-of? They are official and pre-determined holidays for pay. Under previous guidance, we were supposed to allow such familiarization training flights. In the absence of covering language in the new Article 56, are we now going to adhere to FAA Order 3120.29?
THERE IS NO CHANGE TO CURRENT POLICY. TRAINING MAY BE CONDUCTED ON DAYS-IN-LIEU-OF HOLIDAYS.

Does the FAM MOU negate FAAO 3120.29, para 2-32 b.(2) Duty time not authorized on any foreign trip.?
THE FAM MOU ESTABLISHES THE AGREED UPON LANGUAGE TO REPLACE ARTICLE 56 OF THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT. AS SUCH, IT SUPERSEDES FAA ORDERS AND DIRECTIVES.

Do the employees involved in [a trade for credit hours] have to be equally qualified? Can a developmental replace an FPL who's going on the FAM?
PER FAA/NAATS MOU DATED 5/12/99, "EACH INSTANCE OF EARNING CREDIT HOURS.WILL BE APPROVED BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL POSSESSING THE QUALIFICATIONS NECESSARY FOR SHIFT COVERAGE."

Is FAA Order 3120.29 being revised? Will a "new" form 3120-31 be made available that includes the requirement for identifying "training objectives" prior to the trip? Is there a separate report required to reflect the accomplishment of that training?

Must the trip be confined inside the 8 or 10 hour shift?
NO.

Does approved FAM training in conjunction with approved leave include annual, comp, credit, holiday?
YES. HOWEVER IT CANNOT BE APPROVED IN CONJUNCTION WITH SICK LEAVE, LWOP, AWOL OR OWCP. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WOULD BE EXTENDED PERIODS OF LWOP FOR INDIVIDUALS SERVING IN CERTAIN NATIONAL POSITIONS OF NAATS.

Can an employee request and be granted credit time earned when on a FAM?
NO.

Do local agreements on priority for the trips (competing with leave) get tossed out? Must we renegotiate them? Realizing that we are authorized by the MOU to negotiate priority if there are several requests for the same day, can that be broadened?
FACILITIES MAY NOT NEGOTIATE ANY LOCAL AGREEMENTS THAT ALTER THE STANDARDIZED FAMILIARIZATION PROGRAM.

Section 5: What is the difference between assigned duties at the outbound destination (official travel) and prearranged training identified in Section 12? Is prearranged training an assignment of official duties?
WHILE PREARRANGED TRAINING MAY CONSTITUTE OFFICIAL DUTIES, BY AGREEMENT BETWEEN NAATS AND FAA (MOU), NO PER DIEM WILL BE PAID.

Section 5: Would this affect meetings such as SUPCOM where attendees request a FAM due to travel budget restrictions to attend a meeting? Would they be considered on duty time, and therefore would have to be in a travel status and paid per diem?
THIS ARTICLE DOES NOT APPLY TO NON BARGAINING UNIT MEMBERS SUCH AS SUPCOM ATTENDEES.

Section 6: Under the current order, if one part of the familiarization trip is during duty time, the entire trip is considered a duty FAM, or will they have to be on duty time for both legs of the trip? (I.e., outbound on duty time, return flight on RDO)
ALL FAM TRIPS MUST BE CONDUCTED DURING DUTY TIME, OUTBOUND AND INBOUND.

Section 6 : All FAM's are now duty time. An employee is expected to return on a duty FAM, the day before his/her regular day off. The employee is bumped and can not get back until the next day, his/her regular day off. Since all FAM's are conducted on duty time and overtime is not allowed, is the employee entitled to credit hours/comp time?
THE EMPLOYEE CANNOT VIOLATE THE BASIC WORK WEEK. THE EMPLOYEE IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO FAM ON HIS/HER RDO.

Section 6 : Does this mean what it says or can an employee take a FAM on his/her day off?
FAM TRIPS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED ON AN EMPLOYEE�S RDO.

Section 6: If this is to apply to non-bargaining unit employees working administrative hours Monday through Friday, can RDO's be adjusted to provide a duty day for a FAM trip involving travel on a weekend?
THIS ARTICLE DOES NOT APPLY TO NON BARGAINING UNIT MEMBERS.

Section 6 states that all familiarization training shall be conducted on duty time. Section 12 states that for flight times of 3 hours or more, the employee is in duty status for 8 hours, and if the flight time is less than 3 hours the approving official shall "account for the remaining duty time", by ensuring prearranged training is accomplished. Does this mean the remaining time left in the 8-hour shift or the remaining time in 3 hours? It goes on to say, "Approved leave may be used as part of the duty day." What does that mean? It seems to contradict Section 6.
IF THE FLIGHT IS SCHEDULED FOR THREE HOURS OR MORE, EIGHT HOURS OF THE EMPLOYEE�S DUTY DAY IS CONSIDERED ACCOUNTED FOR. IF A FLIGHT IS SCHEDULED FOR UNDER THREE HOURS, THE APPROVING OFFICIAL MUST ACCOUNT FOR THE TIME REMAINING TO EQUAL THREE HOURS. THE ASSIGNMENT OF PREARRANGED TRAINING, THE APPROVAL OF ANNUAL LEAVE, CREDIT LEAVE OR COMP TIME MAY BE USED TO MEET THE THREE HOUR REQUIREMENT. EMPLOYEES MAY PERFORM THEIR REGULARLY ASSIGNED DUTIES BEFORE OR AFTER A FAMILIARIZATION TRAINING TRIP. IT IS THE EMPLOYEE�S PREROGATIVE TO CHOOSE THE MANNER IN WHICH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 12 ARE SATISFIED.

Section 6: What happens when an employee is scheduled a day shift and his flight is at 2 p.m.? Would we change his shift to, say 1 to 9, to accommodate the time of his flight? If so, how would that impact Section 14 which says that he/she would receive the premium pay he/she would have received had he/she worked his/her regular shift. Exactly what is the definition of regular shift? We would say it is what is shown on the log; however, someone could argue it is whatever he/she worked.
THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SHIFT TRADES BELONGS TO THE EMPLOYEE. �REGULAR SHIFT� IS THE SHIFT THE EMPLOYEE IS ASSIGNED PRIOR TO REQUESTING FAM TRAINING. THE EMPLOYEE SHALL RECEIVE THE SAME PREMIUM PAY HE/SHE WOULD HAVE RECEIVED HAD HE/SHE WORKED THE SHIFT ON WHICH THE FAM OCCURRED.

Section 6: Can an individual take FAM training on the same day after working an assigned shift [full shift] or on the same day before working an assigned shift [full shift]?
NO.

Section 7: The trip cannot violate the basic workweek. If the basic work week is a 5 consecutive day schedule, and if a trip requires split days off, is it a violation of the basic work week?
CHANGES TO THE BASIC WORK WEEK TO ALLOW FOR VARIOUS ACTIVITIES TO TAKE PLACE ARE NOT A VIOLATION OF THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT OR PAY RULES AS LONG AS THESE CHANGES DO NOT VIOLATE THE PERSON�S 40 HOUR PER WEEK WORK REQUIREMENT.

Section 7: The second sentence appears to be ambiguous, please clarify the intent.
RDO's MAY BE TRADED FOR DAYS WHEN ANNUAL LEAVE HAS BEEN APPROVED SO THAT A FAM TRIP MAY BE TAKEN ON WHAT WERE PREVIOUSLY RDO�s.

Section 8: Facilities that work international departures and/or oceanic airspace. At XXX AFSS we routinely conduct international briefings and file ICAO flight plans in our flight plan area; specifically flights that depart from the airport on which the AFSS is located. Could this be interpreted for a trip under this section?
NO. THE CONDUCT OF BRIEFINGS AND FILING OF INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT PLANS FOR LOCALLY BASED PILOTS AND COMPANIES DOES NOT ESTABLISH INTERNATIONAL FAMILIARIZATION TRAINING ASSIGNMENT ELIGIBLITY ON U.S. AIR CARRIER AIRCRAFT, THE ONLY CATEGORY AIRCRAFT ON WHICH THESE ASSIGNMENTS ARE AUTHORIZED.

Section 8: Are employees that are not authorized foreign overseas flights eligible for overseas domestic flights?
YES.

Section 8: Does the term "internatinal" refer to foreign overseas as well as overseas domestic? What constitutes eligibility for an international trip under the definition of working an international departure?
INTERNATIONAL DOES REFER TO FOREIGN OVERSEAS BUT NOT OVERSEAS DOMESTIC. INTERNATIONAL DEPARTURES ARE CONSIDERED TO BE WORKED BY CONTROLLERS AT THE GATEWAY TOWER, TRACON, AFSS, AND CENTER THAT PROVIDE INITIAL SERVICE TO THE FLIGHT FROM THEIR AIRSPACE OR FLIGHT PLAN AREA.

Section 8: Does the foreign overseas flight count toward the 6 trips allowed per year?
YES.

Section 8: Flight to "overseas domestic" (Canada/Mexico) appears to count towards the six trips per year, and not count against the "foreign overseas" one flight allowed by the MOU. Is this correct?
YES.

Section 10: The last two sentences in this section seem to contradict one another. One says overtime should not be to cover for a duty FAM specifically; however, the last sentence says we should not cancel the FAM training to prevent the use of overtime. Isn�t the use of overtime directly related to the FAM trip?
NO. IF AN OVERTIME RELATING TO ANOTHER CONTINGENCY IS APPROVED SUBSEQUENT TO THE APPROVAL OF FAM TRAINING, THE OVERTIME IS NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FAM.

Section 10 states that "familiarization training may be approved even though overtime is being used in the facility, provided the overtime is not specifically scheduled to cover for the individual taking the trip." Is the intent of this section that NO FAM trip will be approved if overtime directly results from it?
YES.

Section 10 notes that "Normally, previously approved training should not be cancelled to prevent/reduce the use of overtime in the facility." Does the word "training" in this context apply only to familiarization training or could it be interpreted as having broader application, e.g., for OJT and other training?
IN THIS ARTICLE, TRAINING REFERS ONLY TO FAMILIARIZATION TRAINING.

Section 10: The last sentence in this section needs clarification. Sections 10 and 11 seem to contradict. Previously FAM trips were never covered by overtime. Now, it appears that overtime would be utilized to accommodate the 45 day FAM requests.
THE INTENT OF THE CREDIT HOUR MOU IS TO PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO APPROVE FAM TRAINING WITHOUT INCURRING OVERTIME.

Section 11. Prime Time annual leave for this year has already been approved and employees have been notified. Schedules were negotiated and set based on operational needs. There are facilities which would need overtime to get another body out on a Guaranteed FAM trip. What is the position on "grandfathering" this guarantee during the current Prime Time that's already negotiated?
GRANDFATHERING IS NOT AN OPTION. ALL AVAILABLE OPTIONS (SHIFT ADJUSTMENTS, EXCHANGE OF DAYS OFF, AND APPROVAL OF CREDIT HOURS) SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AND EXHAUSTED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO APPROVE A "GUARANTEED" FAM.

Section 11: What is the time requirement to have local procedures developed, and is this to be renegotiated annually, or at the request of either the Union or the employer?
THERE IS NO SET TIMELINE TO DEVELOP PROCEDURES OR REQUIREMENT TO RENEGOTIATE ANNUALLY. ALL AGREEMENTS, HOWEVER, SHOULD CONTAIN AN EXPIRATION DATE.

Section 11: Please clarify the word "guarantee". This part of the article could result in significant impact at the end of the year when numerous bargaining unit employees request their "guaranteed FAMS." Also, could we address the priority of an annual leave request versus a FAM request?
GUARANTEED FAM TRAINING MEANS A FACILITY WILL APPROVE A REQUEST PROVIDED THE REQUEST IS MADE 45 DAYS IN ADVANCE. APPROVAL IS GOVERNED BY THE OPERATIONAL AND STAFFING REQUIREMENTS OF THE FACILITY (SECTION 15). WHEN AN EMPLOYEE HAS TAKEN TWO FAM TRIPS IN THE CURRENT FAM YEAR, REGARDLESS IF 45 DAYS ADVANCE NOTICE WAS GIVEN FOR THOSE TRIPS, THE AGENCY HAS MET ITS OBLIGATION FOR TWO GUARANTEED TRIPS.

Section 11: How do we differentiate who receives approval for multiple requests on the same day if the employees are guaranteed the trip?
LOCAL POLICY WILL DECIDE AND MAY BE BASED ON FIRST COME FIRST SERVED OR SENIORITY, etc.

If an employee is guaranteed a FAM trip per the CBA and we do not meet this requirement then we are in violation of the CBA, thus a grievance!
IT MAY OR MAY NOT RESULT IN A GRIEVANCE.

Section 11, "...guaranteed trips must be requested of the supervisor, no less than forty-five (45) days in advance...", if an employee has taken two (2) FAM's but did not evoke the "guaranteed trips", forty-five day advance request, is the employee still entitled to two guaranteed trips?
NO.

If overtime is scheduled to cover for prime time leave, is there a requirement to honor an employees request for a "guaranteed trip"?
YES.

Is there a limit as to how far in advance the request can be made?
THERE IS NO NATIONAL GUIDANCE, BUT THERE MAY BE LOCAL GUIDANCE.

Section 11: Are these guaranteed duty trips ahead of other persons requesting leave for the same period? This would conflict again with Article 19 of the contract.
ALL REQUESTS COMPETE FOR THE SAME LIMITED RESOURCES. THE APPROVAL PROCESS HAS NOT CHANGED.

Section 11: The 2 guaranteed FAM's must be requested NLT 45 days ahead of time. When must the supervisor approve/disapprove the FAM?
NOTICE THAT THE FAM HAS BEEN APPROVED SHOULD BE GIVEN AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE, BUT NOT LATER THAN THE POSTING OF THE WATCH SCHEDULE THAT CONTAINS THE REQUESTED DATES.

Section 11: If staffing does not allow for the approval of a training request submitted 45 days or more in advance, may the "45 day rule" be negotiated or refused?
NO.

Section 11: Is there to be a standardized method of tracking the two guaranteed trips per year?
A LOCAL TRACKING PROCESS SHOULD BE DEVELOPED.

If we make a local requirement to indicate on the national form that this trip request is for one of the guaranteed trips, are we altering the standardized program?
IT CAN BE NOTED IN THE REMARKS SECTION OF FAA FORM 3120.29.

Is it management�s responsibility to ensure no more than two are guaranteed?
ONCE TWO TRIPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN, THE ISSUE OF GUARANTEED FAMS IS NO LONGER APPLICABLE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FAM YEAR.

Section 11: Does the employer guarantee 2 FAM trips provided operational needs and staffing requirements are met and there is no overtime used to cover for the FAM trip?
YES.

Section 11: Are the guaranteed trips still guaranteed even though they have had two or three trips already?
NO.

Section 11: This appears to conflict with Section 15 of the MOU, which states that we approve FAM trips based on operational needs and staffing. Are we still allowed to disapprove all requests based on operational needs?
EVERY EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO APPROVE FAMILIARIZATION TRAINING REQUESTS. THE OPERATIONAL AND STAFFING NEEDS OF THE FACILITY MUST BE CONSIDERED PRIOR TO GRANTING APPROVAL, AND ALL OPTIONS SHOULD BE EXHAUSTED BEFORE DISAPPROVAL.

Section 12: Is the commute time to the airport considered duty time? Is there any limit on how far an employee will commute to the airport?
COMMUTING TIME, AS IT IS INCIDENTAL TO THE TRAINING IS DUTY TIME. EMPLOYEES MAY COMMUTE "REASONABLE DISTANCE" TO PARTICIPATE FAMILIARIZATION TRAINING. "REASONABLE DISTANCE" CAN BE DETERMINED ONLY AS IT RELATES TO PROXIMITY OF THE NEAREST AIRPORT PROVIDING AIR CARRIER SERVICE WHEN SERVICE IS UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED AT THE EMPLOYEES DUTY STATION.

Section 12: Is a duty day 8 hours or 8.5 hours?
IF THE QUESTION IS "ARE WE CHANGING THE DUTY DAY TO AN ADMINISTRATIVE DUTY DAY?", NO.

If an employee works an AWS - 9 or 10 hours - how are they affected by the 8 hour duty status in Section 12?
THE EMPLOYEE MUST TAKE LEAVE FOR THE HOURS REMAINING OF THEIR ASSIGNED DUTY DAY.

Section 12 states flight times 3 hours or greater is considered in a duty status for 8 hours. Does this mean a 12 hour flight counts as only 8 hours? Does permitted and suffered go out the window with this statement.
YES.

Section 12: When do the three (3) hours begin? How is this time measured - from scheduled departure time or actual departure time or do we use the time in the OAG?
FOR THE PURPOSE OF PLANNING THE ITINERARY, THE SCHEDULED FLIGHT TIME SHOULD BE USED.

Section 12: Should we presume that it is the responsibility of management to call the destination and establish training for the rest of the day when flights are less than 3 hours?
IF THE EMPLOYEE REQUESTS AND MANAGEMENT APPROVES PREARRANGED TRAINING, MANAGEMENT SHOULD ENSURE THE NECESSARY COORDINATION IS ACCOMPLISHED.

Section 12: How do we ensure prearranged training is accomplished? If we require completion of some form outlining these observations are we again altering the program or should it be documented on the normal trip report form?
PREARRANGED TRAINING SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON THE FAM TRAINING TRIP REPORT, 3120-31.

Section 12: Comment: Under this section, for flight times less than 3 hours, the approving official shall account for the remaining time by ensuring that prearranged training is accomplished. How are the approving officials supposed to comply with that when they sign the authorization forms days, sometimes weeks, ahead of time?
LOCAL PROCEDURES CAN BE ESTABLISHED TO ASSIST IN THIS PROCESS.

Does section 12 indicate that the FAA is placing someone on "Administrative Leave" to account for any amount of time left over from the employee�s shift when the flight is greater than 3 hours?
NO.

Section 12: For flights lasting under 3 hours, can we force a person to take leave for the remainder of the duty day, if the approving official is unable to arrange training at the destination, or deny the FAM request if the employee is unwilling to take leave?
NO, YOU CANNOT FORCE AN EMPLOYEE TO TAKE LEAVE.
YES YOU CAN REFUSE TO AUTHORIZE THE FAM TRAINING.

If we provide timelines to comply with section 13 for differing carrier requirements, are we altering the program?
NO.

Section 13: "Must be�3 days" filed in advance so as to allow administrative time to process paperwork. Does this MUST allow flexibility to approve a FAM in less than three days?
NO.

Section 14: Does this language obligate the agency to pay the employee Sunday pay?
YES.

Section 14: Does this language obligate the agency to pay the employee Sunday pay if he/she changes his/her day off from Sunday to Monday to take a FAM trip?
NO. BY STATUTE, EMPLOYEES ARE NOT PAID SUNDAY PREMIUM PAY UNLESS THEY WORK SUNDAY.

Section 14: Does this language or the lack of additional language obligate the agency to allow an employee to take a FAM trip on their actual holiday?
NO.

If it does, do they receive holiday pay?
NO.

Section 14: What is the intent of the Section 14 in reference to proficiency Training?
THE INTENT IS TO LOG FAMILIARIZATION TRAINING AS REFRESHER TRAINING IN 3120-1, SECTION 5, AND ALSO IN SECTION 8.

Section 14: Do the training objectives need to be in writing?
YES.

Can they be verbal between the employee and approving official?
NO.

Is there any guidance on how detailed the objectives need to be?
NO. FORM 3120-31 IS BEING MODIFIED TO INCLUDE AN AID TO DEVELOP TRAINING OBJECTIVES.

Section 14: What does the "used toward annual proficiency mean?"
THE INTENT IS TO LOG FAMILIARIZATION TRAINING AS REFRESHER TRAINING IN 3120-1, SECTION 5, AND ALSO IN SECTION 8.

Section 14: What hours are to be counted toward the minimum yearly proficiency requirement, and actual flight time?
LOG THE NUMBER OF ACTUAL TRAINING HOURS RECEIVED. THERE IS NO MINIMUM NUMBER OF HOURS FOR THE YEARLY PROFICIENCY REQUIREMENT.

Section 14: Which specific minimum yearly proficiency requirement does this section refer to? Does the word "identified" mean in writing as defined in the Use of Terms, FAAO 7210.56A?
FAAO 7210.56, AIR TRAFFIC QUALITY ASSURANCE DOES NOT APPLY.

Where does management record this in writing?
3120-1, 1, SECTION 5 & 8

In Section 14, we would like more clarification as to what is meant by the training objectives that are to be identified by the approving official at the time the training request is approved.
SPECIFIC AIR TRAFFIC ACTIONS OR PROCEDURES THE SPECIALIST SHOULD BE ASSIGNED TO OBSERVE.

Section 14: In regards to the proficiency training requirement mentioned in section 14, how will this be tracked?
IT WILL BE TRACKED IN THE 3120-1.

Will we be required to enter this type of training in their records?
YES.

Will this perhaps be a 1-hour weather, 1-hour departure observation, or airport air traffic control operation observation?
IT WILL BE LOGGED AS FAMILIARIZATION TRAINING

Will every FAM count toward proficiency training?
YES, IT WILL BE LOGGED AS REFRESHER TRAINING.

Section 14: Proficiency training must be recorded. The current version of TRAX does not allow identical entries be made in a single calendar month, in that the first record is overwritten when the second training is recorded. How are two or more FAM flights a month entered into TRAX?
IF THE FAMS ARE ENTERED AS 99-01, 99-02, etc. TRAX WILL ACCEPT MULTIPLE ENTRIES

Will guidance be provided for format of training entries?
SEE ABOVE

Will the training times entered into TRAX be the flight time of the trip, the entire duty day, or will the approving official�s "training objectives" determine this?
LOG THE ACTUAL HOURS OF TRAINING RECEIVED.

What will be the required TRAX entries?
ENTRIES INTO SECTION 8 AND SECTION 5.

FAM trips are now entered into the Liaison Familiarization Travel section of the Training Jackets. Will there now be a requirement to enter the FAM trips into the Proficiency section of the Training Jackets?
YES.

Section 14: Does an employee in FAM training on a day-in-lieu-of holiday, on a training flight of at least 3 hours receive holiday pay for the full eight hours? Examples of Sunday pay and night differential could be substituted, as well.
AN EMPLOYEE TRAINING ON HIS/HER REGULARY ASSIGNED DUTY DAY RECEIVES THE SAME PREMIUM PAY HE/SHE WOULD HAVE RECEIVED HAD HE/SHE WORKED HIS/HER REGULAR SHIFT. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS SUNDAY PREMIUM WHICH IS CONTROLLED BY STATUTE. (SEE QUESTION 62)

Section 16: What are the oversight processes/procedures?
PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES ARE UNDER DEVELOPMENT.

Section 16: What is the joint NAATS/FAA review process?
THE REVIEW PROCESS IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT.

Section 16: Who will be responsible for these processes? (Headquarters, regions, Facilities)
HEADQUARTERS.

Section 16: What parties will meet? Do they meet nationally, regionally, locally?
THE PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT WILL MEET NATIONALLY.
