Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Submission Deadline for 

International Slots for the Summer 

2005 Scheduling Season

AGENCY: Department of Transportation, 

FAA.

ACTION: Notice of submission deadline.

SUMMARY: This notice announces that 

the deadline for submitting requests for 

international slots at John F. Kennedy 

International Airport for allocation 

under 14 CFR 93.217 is October 25, 

2004. Additionally, this notice 

announces that the FAA is changing the 

designation of Chicago O’Hare 

International Airport to a Schedules 

Facilitated Airport for all international 

arrivals for the Summer 2005 

scheduling season.

DATES: Requests for international slots 

must be submitted no later than October 

25, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Requests may be submitted 

by mail to Slot Administration Office, 

AGC–220 Office of the Chief Counsel, 

800 Independence Ave., SW., 

Washington, DC 20591; facsimile: 202–

267–7277; ARINC: DCAYAXD; e-mail 

address: 7–AWA–slotadmin@faa.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Lorelei Peter, Air Traffic and Operations 

Law Branch, Regulations Division, 

Office of the Chief Counsel, Federal 

Administration, 800 Independence 

Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; 

telephone number: 202–267–3073.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 1, 1999, the FAA amended the 

regulations governing takeoff and 

landing slots and slot allocation 

procedures at certain high Density 

Traffic Airports to provide the deadline 

for submission of requests for 

international slots will be published in 

a Federal Register notice for each 

scheduling season. The purpose of the 

amendment is for the FAA deadline for 

international slots requests to coincide 

with the International Air Transport 

Association deadline for submission of 

international requests. In accordance 

with this amendment, the FAA 

announces that the deadline for 

submitting requests for international 

slots for allocation under 14 CFR 93.217 

is October 25, 2004. 

In August 2004, the FAA took steps to 

address the congestion and delays at 

O’Hare as a result of persistent 

overscheduling of flights at O’Hare 

during peak hours. The FAA established 

a temporary limit on the number of 

scheduled arrivals at O’Hare by 

domestic operators during the peak 

hours of 7 a.m. through 8:59 p.m. 

beginning November 1, 2004, through 

April 30, 2005. While the FAA order 

limiting these operations did not 

include a limit on international flights 

by foreign flag operators, the FAA 

believes that it is beneficial to work 

with requesting carriers to accommodate 

their operations but to avoid capacity 

problems to the greatest extent 

practicable. To facilitate this process, 

the FAA is designating O’Hare as a 

Schedules Facilitated Airport, Level 2 

(SFA) for Air Traffic Control/runway 

movements, as specified under the 

International Air Transport Association 

(IATA) Worldwide Scheduling 

Guidelines. (We note that IATA already 

lists O’hare as an SFA/Level 2 airport 

for international passenger flights at 

Terminal 5.) As an SFA, carriers 

operating to or intending to operate to 

this airport should submit their 

proposed schedules to the FAA in 

advance, so that voluntary solutions to 

capacity issues can be addressed. The 

FAA could request carriers to consider 

scheduling operations at less congested 

periods, as necessary. Carriers should 

provide their schedules to the Slot 

Administration Office using one of the 

various addresses provided in the 

ADDRESSES section above. The FAA will 

review all submitted schedules and 

individually advise carriers that there is 

capacity available to accommodate the 

operations or to request the carriers to 

schedule in less congested time periods.

2004.
