Financial News • ATP/AAT/AND Budget Requests for Gulf of Mexico forwarded to FAA Budget Team Early April • Request was for “monies of opportunity” • Target frame was $38.5 mil over 5 FYs • Team searched non-mandated funding sources, identified $9.5 mil in 2001, $12.8 in 2002.($9.5 is added to $1.7 mil buoy monies already in 2001 budget for total of $11.2 mil) • AND confirmed amounts in 5/2 meeting • ATP/AAT/ATS endorsed Gulf enhancements
Financial News • Requests still subject to Congressional markups • Request/Amount from FAA standpoint is locked/JRC must approve • ATA is lobbying hard for Congressional “lock-in” of funding + additional 2003 requests • We can’t spend it yet, but we can open the catalog • Focus now is….Who would get the money?
IPT or Project Office? • During Meeting on 5/2 idea was floated to create a project office under AND • AUA would head Offshore ADS/Micro-EARTS implementation (after CAPSTONE) • AND would head platform effort, radar acquisition, wx upgrades, and comm upgrades for offshore/deepwater • AT person to liasion/co-ordinate groups under one project office residing in ASW
Financial News • This is great news…. Thanks goes to ATA, ASW AT (Lozano’s Raiders) for briefings to the “1s and 2s” • We still need to press for… • funding mandate • project office/IPT • $14 million more spread over 2003-2005 (the sooner the better)
Stone Chiseling Time • First, do we have consensus • GOMWG needs to identify/brief its finalized strategic plan • Infiltrate Project Office/IPT with GOMWG Operatives • “Farm out” short term procedural fixes to OSRWG/others • Clearly define what “we” want!!!
Final Thought • “Why only buy 1, when you can get 3 for five times the price” Ronald Reagon
