Memorandum of Understanding
Between the
National Association Of Air Traffic Specialists (NAATS)
And The
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") is entered into by and between the National Association Of Air Traffic Specialists ("NAATS" or "Union") and the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA", "Management", or "Agency") (collectively the "Parties"). This MOU represents the understanding of the Parties with respect to the implementation of the Agency's Commercial Activities (A-76) study of the Flight Service function as of the effective date of the agreement. Once the new A-76 circular is implemented, further negotiations may be necessary.
The parties agree as follows:

Section 1. Union representatives may be involved in the competitive sourcing process and participate as members of the Performance Work Statement (PWS includes the Quality Assurance
Surveillance Plan (QASP)), Most Efficient Organization (MEO), and Communications Teams, to
the extent that their participation is consistent with OMB Circular A-76 and applicable law.

Section 2. The Union may designate representatives to the PWS (includes QASP) and MEO teams in numbers equal to the Air Traffic management representatives. The Union will designate one (1) representative to the Communications team. If either party feels that the number of representatives should be adjusted (up or down) when the exact size and scope of the teams are known, the parties will reopen negotiations on the issue.

Section 3. Appropriate "firewalls" shall be put in place and used to insure the integrity of the process and to protect employee rights to compete in the process. The Agency agrees to brief the Union on the "firewalls" it determines to be appropriate and make every reasonable effort to resolve issues identified by the Union. To prevent conflict of interest and protect the integrity of the procurement process, it will be necessary to designate different personnel for different teams.

Section 4. Union representatives shall be afforded the same level of participation as other participants on the teams unless prohibited by the OMB Circular A-76 and applicable law. The products of the teams are considered to be recommendations. It is understood that the Agency retains responsibility for all final management decisions arising from the A-76 process.

Section 5. Bargaining unit members shall not participate in any role that would endanger the right of the bargaining unit workforce to compete as a part of the MEO.

Section 6. Union designated representatives to A-76 workgroups will be required to sign non-disclosure agreements as a pre-requisite to their participation. Union representatives and their management counterparts on A-76 teams will use the same non-disclosure agreement forms (see Attachment)

Section 7. The NAATS president will be invited to witness the final cost comparison.

Section 8. It is the intent of the Parties that information will be shared with the Union to the maximum extent permitted by OMB Circular A-76. it is understood that this may require sanitization (i.e., names, SSAN's, etc...) of some documents prior to their release. A Union representative will be invited to participate on the communications team to help facilitate good communications among all interested parties.

Section 9. The Union may designate 1 representative, from outside the facility, to participate in "walk-throughs", or other activities authorized by the workgroup, associated with on-site data collection visits or other team visits in Flight Service Stations.

Section 10. Union designees shall be allowed to participate in the activities of A-76 teams in a duty status, if otherwise in a duty starts. Overtime shall be available to facilities if management determines it is necessary. The Agency shall pay necessary travel and per diem expenses, in accordance with applicable regulations, for bargaining unit employees.

Section 11. If, as a result of competitive sourcing, a decision is made to contract out work currently being performed by NAATS bargaining unit members, the Union shall be provided the opportunity to bargain as required by law.

Section 12. This Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any right guaranteed by law, rule, regulation or contract on behalf of either Party.

Section 13. This Agreement may be re-opened by request of either party. Unless re-negotiated in accordance with this section, it shall remain in effect until the entire process has been completed or permanently cancelled.
