This agreement is made and entered into by the National Association of Air Traffic Specialists (NAATS or the Union) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA or the Agency) collectively referred to as "the Parties." The purpose of this agreement is to address issues regarding GENOT number 1/21, Presidential FDC NOTAMS. The Agency agrees to place a copy of this MOA in the Read and Initial (R&I) Binder at all facilities where NAATS bargaining unit members are employed immediately upon receipt. This revision contains changes to Section 6 of the previous agreement on this subject. All other sections remain the same.

Section 1. The procedures contained in this GENOT are being implemented to address inadequacies in the Agency�s NOTAM dissemination system. The intent of this GENOT is to insure that this information is provided to facilities and individuals in need of it in the performance of their duties.

Section 2. Events leading to the recognition of the system�s deficiencies shall not result in any formal disciplinary measure or adverse action against any Bargaining Unit Employee (BUE).

Section 3. Issuance of Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) Presidential FCD NOTAMS shall generate a M1FC "B" flag.

Section 4. If no supervisory personnel are on duty and a Controller-in-Charge (CIC) is assigned to these duties, emergency situations and/or in-flight services as defined in FAA Order 7110.10 shall take precedence over compliance with the supervisory duties contained in the GENOT.

Section 5. The Agency shall insure that any BUE assigned CIC duties receives a thorough personal briefing from a management official detailing their responsibilities in regard to the GENOT and this Agreement.

Section 6. Supervisors shall post all Presidential FDC NOTAMS information in the SIA on all operational positions. At a minimum, this shall include FDC NOTAM number, general location affected, altitude restrictions, and effective times. Supervisors shall ensure currency and accuracy of Presidential TFR postings. Parties at the local level shall determine any additional postings necessary.

Section 7. It is the Parties understanding that most presidential movement is scheduled in advance. The Agency shall make every reasonable effort to transmit these NOTAMS to the AFSS�s between 11 am and 8 pm Eastern standard/daylight time. It is understood that there may be occasions where the unscheduled presidential movement does not allow these requirements to be met.

Section 8. The parties agree that this is intended to be a short term, temporary fix for this specific issue. The Agency agrees to pursue a permanent solution to correct the deficiencies in the National NOTAM System as an extremely high priority. The Parties agree to work collaboratively to determine what this solution will be.

Section 9. This Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any right guaranteed by law, rule, regulation, or collective bargaining agreement on behalf of either party. The Parties at the appropriate level shall address issues not specifically covered by this agreement.

Section 10. This agreement shall remain in effect unless re-negotiated or cancelled by mutual agreement of the parties.
