use of operational hotlines.
h. 17-5-4. RESPONSIBILITIES
ASPM facilities must still enter hourly arrival and
departure counts onto the ATCSCC-supplied Web page,
however, the NTML will now be the only source to enter
other data, including delay status, airports in/out of
deicing, runway configuration, and airport arrival
rates/airport departure rates (AAR/ADR). This enables
our customers and facilities to be knowledgeable of these
conditions throughout the NAS. (Paragraph 17-5-9,
NTML Data Entries, has been revised and incorporated
into Paragraph 17-5-4, Responsibilities.) This change
cancels and incorporates N JO 7210.671, Coordination

the procedures for hotlines and informs participants on
their use.

En Route Automation System (EAS). Additional editorial changes support the implementation of En Route
Automation Modernization (ERAM) and any future
en route automation computer systems.
m. 17-9-3. LOCAL ground stop(s)
The responsibility for the TMU and the ATCSCC has been
augmented to include notification of the ATCSCC by the
TMU before implementing a local GS and requires the
ATCSCC to use the FSM when implementing a local GS.
This notification and use of the FSM allow for better
common situational awareness between the ATCSCC,
field facilities, and our customers. Additionally, to
support changes to the Operations Network (OPSNET) on
or about October 22, 2007, delay reporting for ground
delay programs and ground stops will be automated and
will no longer require data entries from field facilities.
This change cancels and incorporates N JO 7210.670,
Local Ground Stop(s), effective October 22, 2007.
n. Chapter 17. Traffic Management National,
Center, and Terminal,
Section 19. Aviation System Performance Metrics

(NTML) and procedural modifications were made to
improve the coordination process and situational
awareness. Chapter 17, section 19, will be deleted and
portions of that section are incorporated in chapter 17,
section 5, paragraph 4. This change cancels and
incorporates N JO 7210.671, Coordination Using the
National Traffic Management Log (NTML), effective
February 5, 2008.
o. Editorial/format changes were made where necessary.
Revision bars were not used because of the insignificant
nature of these changes.
