November 1991, the Flight Standards Service (FS) Quality Management Council (QMC)
chartered a quality action team (QAT) to design and implement an honorary recognition process
for the FS organization. The team developed the prototype guide for the Flight Standards
Recognition System (FSRS) and the process was put in place.
It is important that all FS employees know that this awards system is employee-managed.
Throughout each year, office coordinators meet to discuss the employee recommendations and
determine program direction. The results of those meetings were the basis for the development of
this document. All employees at all levels in the organization may participate in this dynamic
and unique process. You can submit nominations at any time.
FS employees excel at doing their jobs. I encourage everyone to take advantage of this
opportunity to honor the achievements of their coworkers.

This document announces termination of the Mode-S Traffic Information Service (TIS) at FAA terminal Mode-S radar sites. The FAA is replacing legacy terminal Mode-S radars via the Mode-S Beacon Replacement System (MSBRS) program, or may remove legacy terminal Mode-S radars as part of other ongoing activities. As each legacy terminal Mode-S Radar is replaced or removed, the FAA will no longer provide Mode-S TIS to capable transponders from that location. This change does not affect existing Traffic Information Service—Broadcast (TIS–B), Automatic Dependent Surveillance—Rebroadcast (ADS–R), or Automatic Dependent Surveillance—Same Link Rebroadcast (ADS–SLR) services currently provided to aircraft with a properly functioning Automatic Dependent Surveillance—Broadcast (ADS–B) system.
