SUMMARY: This notice sets forth a request for responses from U.S. vendors capable of exporting goods or services for the implementation of Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) solutions that meet the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization's
(ICAO)Aviation System Block Upgrade
(ASBU)initiative. The NextGen solutions address the ICAO ASBU-designated performance improvement areas of:
(a)Airport operations,
(b)globally interoperable systems and data,
(c)optimum capacity and flexible flights, and
(d)efficient flight paths. In addition, this request seeks responses from
(e)the knowledge and service providers who can facilitate these solutions. The International Trade Administration
(ITA)of the Department of Commerce is developing a web-based *NextGen Solutions Vendors Guide* intended to be used by foreign air navigation service providers, airport operators, and governmental authorities to identify U.S. goods and services that can be used to help implement ICAO-consistent NextGen solutions. The guide will highlight the U.S. producers and suppliers who indicate that they have products that can be used to implement one or more of the listed NextGen solutions. The NextGen Solutions Vendors Guide will support the President's National Export Initiative by fostering export opportunities for the U.S. air navigation equipment and services industry. DATES: U.S. vendors capable of exporting goods or services relevant to the NextGen solutions outlined above that are interested in participating in the NextGen Solutions Vendors Guide should self-identify by March 29, 2013, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).
