    • Sponsor should provide notification to the FAA 1 year in advance of the proposed development.
    • Includes projects that:
      • require relocation or re-installation of an FAA facility
      • results in relocation or splicing of underground FAA cable.
  2. Out of Service Impacts
    • Requires 45 day advance notification to the FAA ATO point of contact using the Strategic Events Cooridination form.
    • Generally involves temporary shutdown of FAA facilities due to runway shutdown or sponsor work activities in critical areas.

The ATO organization also services the non-Federal Facility program such as sponsor-owned AWOS sites.
