2. The final Order takes effect on 

January 1, 2007, and will expire at the 

first change of the scheduling season 

occurring no less than 90 days after the 

issuance of a final rule regulating 

congestion at LaGuardia. 

3. No person can operate an aircraft 

other than a helicopter to or from 

LaGuardia unless the operator has 

received, for that unscheduled 

operation, a reservation that is assigned 

by the David J. Hurley Air Traffic 

Control System Command Center’s 

Airport Reservation Office (ARO). 

Additional information on procedures 

for obtaining a reservation will be 

available via the Internet at http:// 

www.fly.faa.gov/ecvrs. 

4. Three (3) reservations are available 

per hour for unscheduled operations at 

LaGuardia. The ARO will assign 

reservations on a 30-minute basis. 

5. The ARO receives and processes all 

reservation requests. Reservations are 

assigned on a ‘‘first-come, first-served’’

basis, determined as of the time that the 

ARO receives the request. A 

cancellation of any reservation that will 

not be used as assigned would be 

required. 

6. Filing a request for a reservation 

does not constitute the filing of an 

instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan, 

as separately required by regulation. 

After the reservation is obtained, an IFR 

flight plan can be filed. The IFR flight 

plan must include the reservation 

number in the ‘‘remarks’’ section. 

7. Air Traffic Control will 

accommodate declared emergencies 

without regard to reservations. Nonemergency flights in direct support of 

national security, law enforcement, 

military aircraft operations, or publicuse aircraft operations will be 

accommodated above the reservation 

limits with the prior approval of the 

Vice President, System Operations 

Services, Air Traffic Organization. 

Procedures for obtaining the appropriate 

reservation for such flights are available 

via the Internet at http:// 

www.fly.faa.gov/ecvrs. 

8. Notwithstanding the limits in 

paragraph 4, if the Air Traffic 

Organization determines that air traffic 

control, weather, and capacity 

conditions are favorable and significant 

delay is not likely, the FAA can 

accommodate additional reservations 

over a specific period. Unused operating 

authorizations can also be temporarily 

made available for unscheduled 

operations. Reservations for additional 

operations are obtained through the 

ARO. 

9. Reservations cannot be bought, 

sold, or leased.

Background 

On May 11, 2004, the President issued 

Executive Order 13338 pursuant to, 

inter alia, the International Emergency 

Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701 et 

seq., the National Emergencies Act, 50 

U.S.C. 1601 et seq., the Syria 

Accountability and Lebanese 

Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003, 

Public Law 108–175, and section 301 of 

title 3, United States Code. In Executive 

Order 13338, the President declared a 

national emergency to address the threat 

posed by the actions of the Government 

of Syria in supporting terrorism, 

continuing its occupation of Lebanon, 

pursuing weapons of mass destruction 

and missile programs, and undermining 

the United States and international 

efforts with respect to the stabilization 

and reconstruction of Iraq. 

On February 13, 2008, the President 

issued Executive Order 13460 (the 

‘‘Order’’) pursuant to, inter alia, the 

International Emergency Economic 

Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq., the 

National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 

1601 et seq., and section 301 of title 3, 

United States Code. In the Order, the 

President found that the Government of 

Syria continues to engage in certain 

conduct that formed the basis for the 

national emergency declared in 

Executive Order 13338 of May 11, 2004, 

including but not limited to 

undermining efforts with respect to the 

stabilization of Iraq. The President 

further found that the conduct of certain 

members of the Government of Syria 

and other persons contributing to public 

corruption related to Syria, including by 

misusing Syrian public assets or by 

misusing public authority, entrenches 

and enriches the Government of Syria 

and its supporters and thereby enables 

the Government of Syria to continue to 

engage in certain conduct that formed 

the basis for the national emergency 

declared in Executive Order 13338. 

Section 1 of the Order blocks, with 

certain exceptions, all property and 

interests in property of the following 

persons, that are in the United States, 

that hereafter come within the United 

States, or that are or hereafter come 

within the possession or control of 

United States persons: Persons who are 

determined by the Secretary of the 

Treasury, in consultation with the 

Secretary of State, to be responsible for, 

to have engaged in, to have facilitated, 

or to have secured improper advantage 

as a result of, public corruption by 

senior officials within the Government 

of Syria. 

On July 10, 2008, the Secretary of the 

Treasury identified two entities in 

which Rami Makhluf, whose property 

and interests in property are blocked 

pursuant to Executive Order 13460, 

owns, directly or indirectly, a 50 

percent or greater interest. Therefore, all 

property and interests in property of 

such entities are blocked.
