The implementation of the OFCM FMH-1 and WSOH #7 is now scheduled for
October 1, 1994. Problems outside of the NWS and OFCM created this
delay. All handbooks (NWS, FAA, Air Force, Navy) must be implemented
at the same time. The NWS must be informed by the OFCM on the
implementation of FMH-1 by September 1, 1994 in order to have an
implementation of FMH-1 and WSOH #7 on October 1, 1994. If the NWS is
informed by the OFCM after September 1, 1994 the implementation for
both handbooks will be moved to November 1, 1994.
WSOH #7 will be implemented in its entirety (Parts I, II, III, IV) at
the same time. Parts II, III, and IV will not be implemented prior to
the FMH-1.
I will keep you informed on any changes to the implementation of these
handbooks.
