SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA’s System Wide Information 

Management (SWIM) program is one of 

seven transformational programs of the 

NextGen portfolio. SWIM utilizes 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 

National Airspace System (NAS). 

The Aircraft Access to SWIM (AAtS) 

initiative provides a global extension of 

the NAS SOA to aircraft using air to 

ground network services, selected and 

funded by aircraft operators, exchanging 

data between aircraft and the NAS. The 

AAtS capabilities established in Phase 1 

are significant in that near real-time

1The HMR applies to interstate, intrastate, and 

foreign commerce. 

NAS data is now available to support 

strategic and tactical traffic management 

and flight operations up to, but not 

including, those uses directly affecting 

aircraft trajectories. Through AAtS, 

aircraft are provided a means to connect 

to a collection of common aeronautical, 

meteorological, and traffic management 

information sources from multiple 

services including the FAA, National 

Weather Service (NWS), Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS), and airports, 

creating a shared and globally 

interoperable aviation information 

environment. 

Phase 2 of the AAtS initiative 

facilitates a common information 

environment supporting flight crew 

involvement in the collaborative 

decision making process even further. 

AAtS will not implement a specific 

infrastructure for the creation of the 

service link to the aircraft. The AAtS 

Demonstrations and Concept 

development teams will define a set of 

operational and technical 

recommendations to be used as 

guidance to drive infrastructure 

development. Furthermore, AAtS 

provides information which is noncritical only. 

The AAtS Phase 2 Working Group 

Meeting will be a forum for discussions 

regarding the operational needs for a 

capability such as AAtS. Questions to be 

answered in the next phase of AAtS 

activities include: What information is 

needed for a more successful operation, 

how the information is used, and what 

information could the operator provide 

back to the FAA for other operators to 

base decisions upon. Individuals 

attending the meeting will have an 

opportunity to participate in AAtS 

Working Group discussions involving 

Title 14 Code of Federal Regulation 

parts 121, 135 and 91 Operational 

demonstrations with an Electronic 

Flight Bag application as well as 

developmental discussions regarding 

AAtS utility in defining, updating, and 

manipulating trajectories. Participant 

insight is valuable in progressing AAtS 

IP Data Link capabilities into a bidirectional exchange of data between 

ground to ground and air to ground 

operational functionality. 

Registration 

To attend the meeting, participants 

must register via email by close of 

business day Wednesday, November 12, 

2014. In accordance with security 

procedures, participants must provide

Safety Advisory: Packaging and 

Handling Ebola Virus Contaminated 

Infectious Waste for Transportation to 

Disposal Sites 

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration 

(PHMSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Safety Advisory Notice. 

SUMMARY: PHMSA is issuing this safety 

advisory to provide guidance on the 

U.S. Department of Transportation’s 

(DOT) Hazardous Materials Regulations 

(HMR; 49 CFR, parts 171–180) to 

persons who prepare, offer, and 

transport materials contaminated or 

suspected of being contaminated with 

the Ebola virus. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Materials Safety, Standards and 

Rulemaking Division, (202) 366–8553, 

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Ave. 

SE., Washington, DC 20590–0001. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

Safety Advisory provides guidance on 

the U.S. Department of Transportation’s 

(DOT) Hazardous Materials Regulations 

(HMR; 49 CFR, parts 171–180) to 

persons who prepare, offer and 

transport materials contaminated or 

suspected of being contaminated with 

the Ebola virus. The HMR apply to any 

material that the DOT determines is 

capable of posing an unreasonable risk 

to health, safety, and property when 

transported in commerce.1 Material 

contaminated or suspected of being 

contaminated with Ebola is regulated as 

a Category A infectious substance under 

the HMR. To ensure their safe 

transportation, the Ebola contaminated 

materials must be packaged in 

conformity with the applicable 

requirements in the HMR for Category A 

infectious substances. Ebola 

contaminated materials that have been 

appropriately incinerated, autoclaved, 

or otherwise inactivated are not 

considered Category A infectious 

substances and are not subject to the 

requirements of the HMR. For more 

information on the HMR requirements 

see http://phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat/

transporting-infectious-substances. For 

guidance on how to handle infectious 

substances before transporting them, 

refer to the Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC) (see http://

www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/hcp/

index.html). 

This document is intended to provide 

general guidance and does not address 

many of the specific provisions and 

exceptions contained in the HMR. It 

should not be used as a substitute for 

the HMR to determine compliance. 

Strict compliance with the HMR is 

required, unless you have been granted 

a special permit. 

Transportation of a hazardous 

material in a motor vehicle, aircraft, or 

vessel operated by a Federal, state, or 

local government employee solely for 

noncommercial Federal, state, or local 

government purposes is not subject to 

the HMR. Accordingly, waste generated 

from the treatment of a patient 

contaminated or suspected of being 

contaminated with the Ebola virus 

transported by a Federal, state, or local 

government employee to a disposal 

facility is not subject to the HMR. DOT, 

however, recommends that Federal, 

state, or local governments comply with 

appropriate safety requirements 

provided in the HMR to ensure the safe 

transportation of waste contaminated or 

suspected of being contaminated with 

the Ebola virus. We also recommend 

compliance with all conditions and 

operational controls specified in any 

applicable special permit issued for the 

transportation of waste contaminated or 

suspected of being contaminated with 

the Ebola virus and our guidance 

referred to below. To transport materials 

contaminated or suspected of being 

contaminated with the Ebola virus, a 

special permit may be necessary to 

allow for a variance of the HMR 

packaging requirements to handle the 

larger volume of contaminated waste 

generated during the treatment of Ebola 

patients. DOT may grant a special 

permit if the applicant can demonstrate 

that an alternative packaging will 

achieve a safety level that is at least 

equal to the safety level required under 

HMR or is consistent with the public 

interest if a required safety level does 

not exist. Emergency processing of 

special permits applies when the special 

permit is necessary to prevent 

significant injury to persons or property 

not preventable under normal
