This fall, UN Member States will have 

an opportunity to review the draft 

WOA, which is expected to comprise 50 

chapters (approximately 15 pages each) 

and a 70-page technical summary; the 

outline (http://www.un.org/Depts/los/ 

global_reporting/Outline_eng.pdf) 

illustrates the very wide range of 

expertise needed for such review. The 

Department of State invites experts in 

relevant fields of expertise to participate 

in the U.S. Government review of the 

draft WOA. Registration at 

www.review.globalchange.gov, a Webbased review and comment system, is 

currently open for experts planning to 

review the draft WOA. Registered 

experts will have access to the draft 

WOA on 20 December 2014 and will 

have until 5:00 p.m. (EST) 6 February 

2015 to submit their review comments 

using the Web-based review and 

comment system. Detailed instructions 

for review and submission of comments 

are available at 

www.review.globalchange.gov. 

A Review Coordination Team 

comprising Federal scientists and 

program managers will develop a 

consolidated U.S. Government review 

submission. Only comments received 

via the Web-based review and comment 

system within the comment period will 

be considered by the Review 

Coordination Team for inclusion in the 

U.S. Government review submission. 

This certification will be published in 

the Federal Register.

Notice of Submission Deadline To 

Amend Slot Records for LaGuardia 

Airport 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice of submission deadline. 

SUMMARY: Under this notice, the FAA 

announces the submission deadline of 

January 5, 2015, for requests to amend 

slot records (adjust slot times and 

arrival/departure designations) at New 

York LaGuardia Airport (LGA). 

DATES: Adjustment requests must be 

submitted no later than January 5, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Adjustment requests may be 

submitted by mail to the Slot 

Administration Office, AGC–200, Office 

of the Chief Counsel, 800 Independence 

Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591; by 

facsimile to: 202–267–7277; or by email 

to: 7-AWA-slotadmin@faa.gov.

Counsel, Federal Aviation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Scheduled 

operations at LGA currently are limited 

by FAA Order until a final Slot 

Management and Transparency Rule for 

LaGuardia Airport, John F. Kennedy 

International Airport, and Newark 

Liberty International Airport (RIN 2120– 

AJ89) becomes effective but not later 

than October 29, 2016.1 The LGA Order 

permits the leasing or trading of slots 

through the expiration date of the Order, 

but this mechanism limits a carrier’s 

ability to permanently adjust its slot 

base through trades with another carrier, 

as is common at Ronald Reagan 

Washington National Airport (DCA). 

Additionally, the Order permanently 

allocates slots, unlike the EWR and JFK 

Orders that allocate slots and permit slot 

retimings on a seasonal basis, subject to 

availability of slots through a 

transparent process generally following 

the International Air Transport 

Association (IATA) Worldwide Slot 

Guidelines (WSG).2

In July 2014, the FAA announced a 

submission deadline for requests to 

amend slot records (adjust slot times 

and arrival/departure designations) and 

evaluated those requests in anticipation 

of the 2014–15 winter IATA scheduling 

season.3 The FAA received generally 

favorable feedback from carriers and 

interested parties on the adjustment 

process. Historically, the FAA had 

evaluated and confirmed these 

adjustment requests, consistent with the 

LGA Order and prior FAA practice, on 

a first-come, first-served basis after 

evaluating whether they have an 

operational benefit or a neutral effect on 

operations. Since 2007, adjustments 

have improved LGA operational 

performance. Although the FAA had not 

necessarily intended to request and 

review slot adjustments on a regular 

basis, it has determined that using a 

seasonal review process addresses 

operational necessities in a fair and 

transparent manner. Therefore, in the 

future the FAA will establish 

submission deadlines by Federal 

Register notice in early August and 

early December because the FAA has 

noticed that the largest number of 

requests occur as carriers are finalizing 

their planned schedules. The FAA will 

continue to review all adjustment 

requests submitted outside of this semiannual process in the order they are 

received. 

To evaluate LGA slot adjustments for 

the upcoming 2015 summer IATA 

scheduling season in a fair and 

transparent manner, the FAA is 

establishing a deadline of January 5, 

2015, for carriers to request retiming 

and changes to the arrival/departure 

designation of currently-held slots. 

Carriers should provide slot information 

in sufficient detail including, at a 

minimum, the operating carrier, slot 

number, scheduled time of arrival or 

departure, frequency, arrival/departure 

designation, and effective dates. 

Consistent with past practice, the FAA 

will evaluate requests in light of the 

overall operational impact at LGA and 

whether the requests improve or have a 

neutral effect on operational 

performance. The FAA will consider 

both short-term adjustments and 

adjustments through the expiration of 

the LGA Order. In addition, if the FAA 

receives conflicting requests for 

retiming, the FAA will give priority to 

new entrants and limited incumbents, 

consistent with the LGA Order and FAA 

practice. The terms of the LGA Order 

prevent the FAA from allocating new 

slots in hours at or above the slot limit. 

The FAA will evaluate requests 

received by January 5, 2015, and intends 

to respond to the requests no later than 

January 12, 2015. The FAA cannot 

guarantee that all requests to adjust slot 

holdings will be confirmed. Requests 

received after January 5, 2015, will be 

evaluated after timely requests in the 

order they are received. As permitted 

under paragraph A.5 of the LGA Order, 

carriers are encouraged to engage in slot 

trades, when possible, to achieve 

desired timings.
