Narrative:

Fayetteville approach is a medium level 3 facility. Pope tower is in our airspace. Lately, on the weekends, pope has not been using their ATIS, and we have to read the WX and other information to each aircraft inbound to there. This is an unacceptable condition, because we are very often too busy for this added work, and it would not take their data person too long to fulfill their requirements under the 7110.65.
