                          MTACs Operational 
             with Limited Monitoring and Control Capability

As of 6 February 1991, DCA began process of declaring operational those 
MTACs with operational users connected.  However, the current versions of 
the software installed in the MTACs and in the Monitoring Centers' C/70s 
allow only a limited MTAC monitoring and control capability.

The software to allow the required MTAC monitoring and control capability 
is being developed.  A new version of the MTAC software has been 
completed.  However, the patches to interface the new MTAC software with 
the C/70s are still under development.  The estimated completion date is 
July 1991.  Until then, MTAC users should immediately notify their 
respective Monitoring Centers if they have suspected MTAC problems:
