Raymond Long, director of the FAA's year 2000 project, says all systems at the agency will be compliant by June 30. Long says the FAA has experienced only minor system problems related to Y2K, and none that have affected air traffic control or any other safety issues. We've got all those fixed. He's confident there will be no major problems. The FAA recently held a test of the air traffic control system.
Officials say they experienced no problems.
Many federal agencies are shifting their focus to contingency planning to ensure that no services are interrupted should any systems fail. To that end, they're working with state and local government entities as well as businesses. K priorities the OMB has identified for federal agencies for the remainder of this year. Federal agencies exchange data with hundreds of outside partners to support many programs. The most important of those partnerships, according to the OMB, is with the states.
