Subject:    Comments Sought on Web-enabled International Flight
            Folder Documentation Program from February 1, 2011
            to March 7, 2011

NWS is seeking comments between February 1, 2011, and March 7,
2011, on the experimental Web-Enabled International Flight
Folder Documentation Program (WebIFFDP) as a replacement for the
facsimile-based International Flight Folder Documentation
Program (IFFDP). WebIFFDP is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. Before using the service, authorized users must visit
register by going to the following:

  http://aviationweather.gov/webiffdp/

As a contracting state of the International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO), the United States is obligated to provide
flight documentation services to the international aviation
community. Since October 1, 1998, in accordance with Chapter
nine of Annex 3 to the Convention on Civil Aviation, the
Aviation Weather Center (AWC) has provided the required
meteorological information to airline operators and flight crew
members for the purposes of dispatch planning, pre-flight
briefing and en-route guidance. The information for the IFFDP
currently is transferred via a facsimile service.

The proposed new WebIFFDP system offers users a Qualified
Internet Communications Provider (QICP) certified web site for
obtaining international aviation weather information.  QICP is a
certification by the FAA that a Website meets certain security,
availability and transaction time standards. QICP WebIFFDP also
introduces users to an enhanced web experience that includes
custom Virtual Flight Folders. The web-based system will offer
enhanced capabilities not available through a fax-based system.

For technical questions and support in registering a user access
for WebIFFDP, please contact:
