Who assigns sectors and provides altitude deconfliction as necessary?

Sector assignment and keeping aircraft safely separated vertically are active, operational duties handled by the organization assigned to coordinate sector boundaries and resolve conflicts as traffic changes. AATCC is the entity designated to determine which areas of airspace each controller will manage and to step in with altitude constraints or clearances to prevent vertical conflicts when needed. This role ensures workload is balanced and safe separation is maintained, especially during high traffic or complex flows. While the FAA sets policies and an ATC Center handles en route control, the specific task of assigning sectors and providing altitude deconfliction rests with AATCC.
