—0960–0699. Section 3 of the Social 

Security Disability Applicants Access to 

Professional Representation Act (PRA) 

of 2010, Public Law 111–142, 

permanently extends the direct payment 

provision of Section 303 of the Social 

Security Protection Act (SSPA) of 2004, 

Public Law 108–203. The PRA permits 

SSA to extend direct payment of 

approved fees from claimants’ past-due 

benefits to certain non-attorney 

representatives. Prior to the enactment 

of the SSPA and PRA, only attorneys 

could receive direct payment of SSAapproved fees. Under the PRA, nonattorneys must meet certain 

prerequisites to be eligible for direct 

payment of fees. These prerequisites 

include: (1) A bachelor’s degree from an 

accredited institution of higher 

education, or four years of relevant 

professional experience and a high 

school diploma or General Education 

Development (GED) certificate; (2) 

passing a written examination 

administered by SSA testing the 

knowledge of relevant provisions of the 

Act under Titles II and XVI; (3) securing 

and maintaining continuous 

professional liability insurance, or 

equivalent, to protect claimants from 

malpractice; (4) passing a criminal 

background check; (5) demonstrating 

ongoing completion of continuing 

education courses. The PRA requires 

SSA to collect the information needed 

to determine if applicants have satisfied 

these prerequisites. SSA uses the 

information we collect on Form SSA– 

1691 to determine whether an applicant 

has fulfilled the statutory prerequisites 

and regulatory requirements as listed 

above. To verify this information, we 

also request the five required items 

listed above from each new applicant, 

and we request items #3 and #5 from all 

non-attorney representatives (new and 

existing) on a yearly basis. Every year, 

SSA evaluates the applications, 

conducts verification investigations, and 

issues recommendations regarding 

applicants’ eligibility to sit for the 

examination and eligibility to receive 

direct payment. The respondents are 

non-attorneys who want to receive 

direct payment of their fees for 

representational services before SSA.

Order Limiting Scheduled Operations 

at John F. Kennedy International 

Airport 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Limited Waiver of the 

Slot Usage Requirement. 

SUMMARY: This action grants with 

conditions a limited waiver of the slot 

usage requirement for operating 

authorizations (slots) at John F. 

Kennedy International Airport (JFK) due 

to construction at the airport during the 

winter 2014/2015 and summer 2015 

scheduling seasons. This waiver applies 

only to JFK slots for the period from 

March 1, 2015, through October 24, 

2015. 

DATES: Effective upon publication. The 

deadlines for temporary slot returns 

under this waiver are December 15, 

2014, for slots from March 1 through 

March 28, 2015, and January 15, 2015, 

for slots from March 29 through October 

24, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Port Authority of New York and 

New Jersey (Port Authority) will 

conduct extensive construction on JFK 

runway 4L/22R. Runway safety area and 

other preparatory work will begin in 

2014 and is not expected to have 

significant operational impacts. 

Extensive operational impacts are 

expected in 2015 as the airport 

rehabilitates Runway 4L/22R, widens 

the runway to 200 feet required for 

Group VI aircraft, improves taxiway 

fillets required for Group VI aircraft, and 

constructs access and high speed 

taxiways. The work will also impact 

Runways 13L/31R and 13R/31L as they 

intersect with Runway 4L/22R. Runway 

13L/31R will be closed from March 1 

through April 9, 2015. Runway 4L/22R 

will be open during this time with 

reduced length. Runway 13R/31L will 

operate with reduced length from April 

10 through September 21, 2015. 

The FAA, Port Authority, and airport 

stakeholders have been meeting for 

several months to review the 

construction plans and schedules, 

assess the potential operational impacts, 

and identify mitigation options. Updates 

will be discussed at various FAA and 

airport meetings over the coming 

months. 

FAA Analysis 

Under the Order limiting scheduled 

operations at JFK, slots must be used at 

least 80 percent of the time. This rule is 

expected to accommodate routine 

weather and other cancellations under 

all but the most unusual circumstances. 

Slots not meeting the minimum usage 

rules will not receive historic 

precedence for the following 

corresponding scheduling season.1 The 

FAA may grant a waiver from the slot 

usage requirement in highly unusual 

and unpredictable conditions that are 

beyond a carrier’s control and affect a 

carrier’s operations for a period of five 

or more consecutive days. However, the 

FAA does not routinely grant general 

waivers to the usage requirement except 

under the most unusual circumstances. 

The FAA has determined that the 

projected operational, congestion, and 

delay impacts of the 2015 JFK runway 

construction meet the requirements for 

a temporary waiver of the slot usage 

requirement. In light of the projected 

runway capacity and throughput 

impacts during construction, reducing 

operations to minimize congestion and 

delays is in the public interest. The FAA 

expects to implement measures such as 

those used during the JFK Runway 13R/ 

31L construction in 2010 and Newark 

Liberty International Airport Runway 

4L/22R construction in 2014. These 

include seeking voluntary schedule 

reductions of historic flights in the 

busiest hours, retiming flights to less 

congested periods, increasing scheduled 

block time, limiting the allocation of 

new slots to off peak hours, optimizing 

the use of airport capacity based on 

demand and aircraft fleet mix, and 

revising air traffic control operational 

plans and procedures as warranted. 

Carriers that temporarily reduce flights 

and elect to temporarily return slots to 

the FAA rather than transfer them for 

another carrier’s use should not be 

penalized by permanently losing the 

authority to operate. 

FAA Decision 

In consideration of the foregoing, the 

FAA has determined to issue a limited 

slot usage waiver for the part of the 

winter 2014/2015 scheduling season 

and all of the summer 2015 scheduling 

season. Granting a waiver for these slots 

is consistent with recent agency 

decisions.2 This waiver applies only to 

JFK slots for the period from March 1, 

2015, through October 24, 2015.3 To 

obtain a waiver for a specific slot held, 

a carrier must temporarily return to the 

FAA slots that it will not operate during 

the waiver period. The carrier will 

retain historical precedence for these 

temporarily returned slots. These 

temporary slot returns permit the FAA 

to plan for days on which construction 

closures and resulting operational 

impacts occur. If the closure dates 

change due to weather or other factors, 

the FAA will apply the waiver, 

including retroactively, if a carrier 

notifies the FAA that the temporarily 

returned slots will not be operated on 

any new closure dates. 

The FAA recognizes that carriers may 

make adjustments in schedules based on 

operational assessments and modeling 

efforts that are currently underway. The 

FAA also understands that some carriers
