Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 91 / Wednesday, May 11, 2016 / Notices 29323 

1The FAA’s designation of EWR as Level 2 takes 

effect on October 30, 2016. 81 FR 19861 (Apr. 6, 

2016). Through the Summer 2016 scheduling 

season, the FAA has designated EWR as Level 3 by

as amended 79 FR 16857 (March 26, 2014). 

2The FAA limits flights at JFK during peak hours 

by Order, Operating Limitations at John F. Kennedy 

International Airport, 73 FR 3510 (Jan. 18, 2008) as 

amended. The FAA intends to extend the effective 

date of the Order to October 27, 2018. The 

extension will be published in a separate notice in 

the Federal Register. 

Description of Relief Sought:

Transport Association (IATA) 

Worldwide Slot Guidelines (WSG) and 

FAA airport level designations. The 

deadline coincides with the schedule 

submission deadline for the IATA Slot 

Conference for the winter 2016 

scheduling season. 

DATES: Schedules must be submitted no 

later than May 19, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Schedules may be 

submitted by mail to the Slot

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

has designated EWR, LAX, ORD, and 

SFO as IATA Level 2, schedule 

facilitated airports.1 JFK is designated as 

an IATA Level 3, slot controlled 

airport.2 At the Level 2 airports, 

proposed schedules are reviewed by the 

FAA to address significant, potential 

congestion before schedules are final. A 

runway slot is required from the FAA at 

JFK, a Level 3 airport, before a carrier 

operates during the slot controlled 

hours. 

The FAA is primarily concerned 

about scheduled and other regularly 

conducted commercial 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 LAX and 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). The 

FAA prefers schedule messages with the 

format and data elements in IATA 

Standard Schedules Information Manual 

(SSIM), Chapter 6, as recommended in 

the WSG. The FAA will also accept 

other mutually agreed schedule 

information formats; however, carriers 

should submit schedule information in 

sufficient detail including, at minimum, 

the operating carrier, flight number, 

scheduled time of operation, frequency, 

and effective dates. 

The winter scheduling season is from 

October 30, 2016, through March 25, 

2017, consistent with the IATA northern 

winter season. The FAA understands 

there may be differences in schedule 

times due to U.S. daylight saving time 

dates and will accommodate these 

differences to the extent possible. 

Carriers operating at JFK or LAX 

should consider the potential impacts of 

runway construction projects as they 

develop schedules, block times and 

other factors. The FAA has been 

working with the airport operators, 

airlines, and other stakeholders to 

develop plans to utilize available 

capacity and mitigate delays during 

construction. 

JFK will have construction in 2017 on 

Runway 4R/22L. The Port Authority of 

New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ), 

the airport operator, is currently 

considering the scope and staging plans 

for rehabilitation of the runway and 

expects to soon finalize plans. 

Depending on the final construction 

schedule, the runway may be closed 

beginning approximately February 27. 

The closure and other construction 

impacts could affect operations during 

the last few weeks of the winter 2016 

scheduling season and into the summer 

2017 and winter 2017 scheduling 

seasons. 

LAX will undergo construction on 

Runway 7L/25R for runway safety areas 

and rehabilitation beginning in October 

2016. Los Angeles World Airports 

(LAWA), the airport operator, expects to 

shorten the runway in October for 

approximately 3.5 months followed by a 

four month closure from January to May 

2017. 

On April 6, the FAA announced in 

the Federal Register (81 FR 19861) that 

the EWR airport level designation will 

change from Level 3 to Level 2 effective 

with the winter 2016 scheduling season. 

Although there is available runway 

capacity throughout the day, the FAA 

strongly encourages carriers to propose 

reasonable schedules, recognizing there 

is limited runway and airport capacity 

available for new flights or existing 

flights retimed to certain hours. Carriers 

will be asked to consider alternative 

schedule times if proposed demand 

exceeds capacity, which is likely to 

occur during the busiest early morning, 

late afternoon, and evening hours. 

The PANYNJ is considering the 

process for reviewing EWR gate and 

terminal availability. This is in addition 

to its previously established review 

under the IATA WSG process for 

Terminal B international passenger 

flights. The FAA expects to work with 

the PANYNJ as it considers gate and 

terminal availability and how that might 

impact the FAA’s review of schedules 

for runway availability. Carriers should 

submit information directly to the 

PANYNJ for airport terminal or gate 

issues. 

The FAA reviewed the historical 

airport runway capacity levels over 

several years of operations including 

hourly data for each weekday. This 

analysis considered the actual air traffic 

control (ATC) established arrival and 

departure rates, the number of actual 

operations in an hour if it exceeded the 

projected ATC rate for that particular 

hour, runway configurations, weather, 

aircraft fleet mix, and other operating 

conditions. For the winter months, the 

data show the average hourly runway 

adjusted capacity for the previous 

similar winter seasons is approximately 

79 total operations. The limit FAA 

established in the EWR Order in 2007, 

which was derived using peak summer
