[Docket No. FAA–2008–0036] 

RIN 2120–AF90 

Policy Regarding Airport Rates and 

Charges; Extension of Comment 

Period 

AGENCY: Department of Transportation, 

Office of the Secretary and Federal 

Aviation Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed amendment 

to policy statement; extension of 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: This action extends the 

comment period for a proposed 

amendment to the ‘‘Policy Regarding the 

Establishment of Airport Rates and 

Charges’’ that was published on January 

17, 2008. In that document, the 

Department of Transportation 

(‘‘Department’’) and the Federal 

Aviation Administration (FAA) 

proposed to amend the ‘‘Policy 

Regarding the Establishment of Airport 

Rates and Charges’’ published in the 

Federal Register on June 21, 1996 

(‘‘1996 Rates and Charges Policy’’). The 

Department and the FAA proposed 

three amendments to the 1996 Rates and 

Charges Policy (two modifications and 

one clarification). These amendments 

are intended to provide greater 

flexibility to operators of congested 

airports to use landing fees to provide 

incentives to air carriers to use the 

airport at less congested times or to use 

alternate airports to meet regional air 

service needs. Any charges imposed on 

international operations must also 

comply with the international 

obligations of the United States. This 

extension is a result of a request from 

the Air Transport Association of 

America, Inc., the Cargo Airline 

Association, the National Air Carrier 

Association, and the Regional Airline 

Association on behalf of their members, 

to extend the comment period for thirty 

days. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

Notice of proposed amendment to 

Policy Regarding the Establishment of 

Airport Rates and Charges published on 

January 17, 2008 (73 FR 3310) was 

scheduled to close on March 3, 2008, 

and is extended until April 3, 2008.

This notice is published under the

49 United States Code. Under 

subsection (b) of this section, the 

Secretary of Transportation is required

Background 

On January 17, 2008, the Department 

of the FAA issued Notice of proposed 

amendment to the Policy Regarding the 

Establishment of Airport Rates and 

Charges Docket No. FAA–2008–0036, 

(73 FR 3310). Comments to that 

document were to be received on or 

before March 3, 2008. 

By a letter dated January 30, 2008 the 

Air Transport Association of America, 

Inc. (ATA), the Cargo Airline 

Association (CAA), the National Air 

Carrier Association (NACA), and the 

Regional Airline Association (RAA), on 

behalf of their members, requested that 

the comment period for Docket 2008–

0036 be extended until April 3, 2008. 

Industry trade groups expressed concern 

that critical pieces of information were 

missing from the January 17, 2008, 

notice that are essential to a full 

assessment of the impact of the 

proposed policy. The following 

information has been added to the 

docket: the list of secondary airports 

eligible for inclusion in the rate base 

(FAA Docket 2008–0036.0007.1); the list 

of congested airports (based on 1% of 

delays) (FAA Docket 2008–0036–

0008.1); the list of airports from the 

Benchmark report (FAA Docket 2008–

0036–0009.1). ATA, CAA, NACA and 

RAA requested an extension of the 

comment period by 30 days to provide 

sufficient time to more fully develop 

comments reflecting the views of the 

industry stakeholders. 

The Department and the FAA concur 

with the petitioners’ requests for an 

extension of the comment period on 

FAA Docket 2008–0036 and believe an 

additional 30 days should be adequate 

to provide more complete and 

meaningful comment. 

Extension of Comment Period 

In accordance with § 11.47(c) of title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations, the 

Department of the FAA have reviewed 

the petitions made by the Air Transport 

Association of America, Inc. (ATA), the 

Cargo Airline Association (CAA), the 

National Air Carrier Association 

(NACA), and the Regional Airline 

Association (RAA), on behalf of their 

members, for extension of the comment 

period to FAA Docket 2008–0036. These 

petitioners have shown a substantive 

interest in the proposed amendment to 

the 1996 Policy Regarding Airport Rates 

and Charges and good cause for the 

extension. The Department and the FAA 

have determined that extension of the 

comment period is consistent with the 

public interest, and that good cause 

exists for taking this action. 

Accordingly, the comment period for 

FAA Docket 2008–0036 is extended 

until April 3, 2008. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on February 5, 

2008.
