Aircraft Access to SWIM 

The FAA’s Next Generation Air 

Transportation System (NextGen) 

program is a comprehensive 

modernization of our National Airspace 

System (NAS). It is intended to provide 

new aviation capabilities for both users 

and operators by improving aviation 

safety, system capacity and throughput. 

The FAA’s System Wide Information 

Management (SWIM) program is one of 

seven transformational programs of the 

NextGen portfolio. SWIM is designed to 

utilize a Service Oriented Architecture 

(SOA) to exchange aviation data and 

services without the restrictive, time 

consuming and expensive process of 

developing unique interfaces for the 

multitude of systems and equipment 

used by the NAS. 

The Aircraft Access to SWIM (AAtS) 

initiative is the airborne component of 

the SWIM SOA. AAtS will allow aircraft 

to exchange operational information 

such as: weather, airport information, 

and other services during all phases of 

flight. This AAtS capability is 

significant in that near real time NAS 

data will now be available to support 

strategic and tactical traffic management 

and flight operations. 

AAtS will provide aircraft with a 

means to obtain a common collection of 

aeronautical services provided from 

multiple sources. These sources include 

the FAA, DHS, NWS, and other 

information sources to create a shared 

aviation information environment. The 

AAtS initiative will utilize commercial 

air/ground network providers’ 

infrastructure to exchange data between 

aircraft and the NAS ground facilities. 

The FAA in collaboration with industry 

users will define the set of operational 

and technical requirements that will be 

used to drive that infrastructure. 

The AAtS initiative will facilitate 

common situational awareness between 

the aircraft flight crews and traffic 

managers, which will result in better 

decision making and more efficient NAS 

operations. AAtS will work to ensure 

safe, secure, dependable, and hassle-free 

travel; while reducing energy use, 

emissions and the impact of aviation on 

the environment.

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Release From Federal 

Surplus Property and Grant Assurance 

Obligations at Oroville Municipal 

Airport (OVE), Oroville, California 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of request to release 

airport land. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) proposes to rule 

and invites public comment on the 

application for a release of 

approximately 6.50 acres of airport 

property at the Oroville Municipal 

Airport (OVE), Oroville, California from 

all conditions contained in the Surplus 

Property Deed and Grant Assurances 

because the parcel of land is not needed 

for airport purposes. The land requested 

to be released is located outside of the 

airport fence along the southern 

boundary of the airport. The release will 

allow the City of Oroville (City) to sell 

the property at its fair market value, 

thereby benefiting the Airport and 

serving the interest of civil aviation. The 

City is also requesting a land-use change 

for approximately 13.62 acres of land 

adjacent to the 6.50 acres so it may be 

leased at its fair market value for nonaeronautical purposes to earn revenue 

for the airport. The proposed use will be 

compatible with the airport and will not 

interfere with the airport or its 

operation. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before May 20, 2013. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Comments on the request may be mailed 

or delivered to the FAA at the following 

address: Robert Lee, Airports 

Compliance Specialist, Federal Aviation 

Administration, San Francisco Airports 

District Office, Federal Register 

Comment, 1000 Marina Boulevard, 

Suite 220, Brisbane, CA 94005. In 

addition, one copy of the comment 

submitted to the FAA must be mailed or 

delivered to Mr. Art da Rosa, Director of 

Public Works, 1735 Montgomery Street, 

Oroville, CA 95965–4897. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 

Aviation Investment and Reform Act for 

the 21st Century (AIR 21), Public Law 

106–181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), 

this notice must be published in the 

Federal Register 30 days before the 

Secretary may waive any condition 

imposed on a federally obligated airport 

by surplus property conveyance deeds 

or grant agreements.
