Background 

Due to LaGuardia’s limited runway 

capacity, the airport cannot 

accommodate the number of flights that 

airlines and others would like to operate 

without causing significant congestion. 

The FAA has long limited the number 

of arrivals and departures at LaGuardia 

during peak demand periods through 

the promulgation and implementation 

of the High Density Rule (HDR).1 By 

statute enacted in April 2000, the HDR’s 

applicability to LaGuardia operations 

terminated as of January 1, 2007.2

In anticipation of the HDR’s 

expiration, the FAA proposed a longterm rule that would limit the number 

of scheduled and unscheduled 

operations at LaGuardia.3 Because the 

FAA could not complete that 

rulemaking by January 1, 2007, the FAA 

issued an Order on December 27, 2006, 

adopting temporary limits pending the 

completion of the rulemaking.4 This 

Order was amended on November 8, 

2007, and August 19, 2008.5

Under the Order, as amended, the 

FAA (1) maintains the current hourly 

limits on scheduled (75) and 

unscheduled (three) operations at 

LaGuardia during peak period; (2) 

imposes an 80 percent minimum usage 

requirement for OAs with defined 

exceptions; (3) provides a mechanism 

for withdrawal of OAs for FAA 

operational reasons; (4) provides for a 

lottery to reallocate withdrawn, 

surrendered, or unallocated OAs; and 

(5) allows for trades and leases of OAs 

for consideration for the duration of the 

Order. Without the operational 

limitations imposed by this Order, the 

FAA expected severe congestion related 

delays would occur at LGA and at other 

airports throughout the National 

Airspace System (NAS) resulting from 

capacity constraints at LGA. 

On October 10, 2008, the FAA 

published the ‘‘Congestion Management 

Rule for LaGuardia Airport’’ final rule 

(‘‘Congestion Management Rule’’).6 The 

Congestion Management Rule would 

have become effective on December 9, 

2008. The Congestion Management Rule 

imposes limitations on scheduled and 

unscheduled operations. 

Several parties petitioned for review 

of the Congestion Management Rule and 

sought a stay of that rule.7 On December 

8, 2008, the United States Court of 

Appeals for the District of Columbia 

Circuit stayed the Congestion 

Management Rule, which rendered it 

temporarily ineffective. To prevent this 

Order from expiring prior while the 

litigation is pending, the FAA has 

concluded that it is necessary to extend
