Current Guidance

NAO 209-124 Aviation Safety Policy became effective October 1, 2006.

NOTE: NAO 209-124 Does not yet apply to bargaining unit employees where labor obligations are continuing to be fulfilled.

Use of non-NOAA aircraft will be restricted to those operators listed on the Department of Interior (DOI) listing. The procedures are lisited on the Non-NOAA Aircraft page.

The DOI/NOAA Interagency Agreement will expire September 30, 2009. The Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) will begin a phased transition to a NOAA supported contracting program. While most of our field elements already have established aircraft support through DOI contracting, transition to the NOAA based system will be effected in conjunction with contract renewal, unless requested earlier.
