for the Winter 2012-2013 Scheduling Season

AGENCY: Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration 
(FAA).

ACTION: Notice of submission deadline.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under this notice, the FAA announces the submission deadline 
of May 10, 2012, for Winter 2012-2013 flight schedules at Chicago's 
O'Hare International Airport (ORD), San Francisco International Airport 
(SFO), New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), and 
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in accordance with the 
International Air Transport Association (IATA) Worldwide Slot 
Guidelines. The deadline coincides with the schedule submission 
deadline for the IATA Slot Conference for the Winter 2012-2013 
scheduling season.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA has designated ORD as an IATA Level 
2 airport, SFO as a Level 2 airport, JFK as a Level 3 airport, and EWR 
as a Level 3 airport. Scheduled operations at JFK and EWR are currently 
limited by FAA Orders until a final Congestion Management Rule for

Liberty International Airport (RIN 2120-AJ89) becomes effective but not 
later than October 26, 2013.\1\

    \1\ Operating Limitations at John F. Kennedy International 
Airport, 73 FR 3510 (Jan. 18, 2008) as amended 76 FR 18620 (Apr. 4,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA is primarily concerned about planned passenger and cargo 
operations during peak hours, but carriers may submit schedule plans 
for the entire day. At ORD, the peak hours are 0700 to 2100 Central 
Time (1300 to 0300 UTC), at SFO from 0600 to 2300 Pacific Time (1400 to 
0700 UTC), and at EWR and JFK from 0600 to 2300 Eastern Time (1100 to 
0400 UTC). Carriers should submit schedule information in sufficient 
detail including, at minimum, the operating carrier, flight number, 
scheduled time of operation, frequency, and effective dates. IATA 
standard schedule information format and data elements (Standard 
Schedules Information Manual or SSIM) may be used.
    The U.S. winter scheduling season for these airports is from 
October 28, 2012, through March 30, 2013, in recognition of the IATA 
northern winter period. The FAA understands there may be differences in 
schedule times due to different U.S. daylight saving time dates, and 
the FAA will accommodate these differences to the extent possible.

DATES: Schedules must be submitted no later than May 10, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Schedules may be submitted by mail to the Slot 
Administration Office, AGC-200, Office of the Chief Counsel, 800
