ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. This information collection is used to allocate slots and 
maintain accurate records of slot transfers at High Density Traffic 
Airports. The information is provided by air carriers and commuter 
operators, or other persons holding a slot at High Density Airports.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by October 26, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carla Scott on (202) 267-9895, or by 
e-mail at: Carla.Scott@faa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0524.
    Title: High Density Traffic Airports; Slot Allocation and Transfer 
Methods.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
information collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The information is reported to the FAA by air carriers 
and commuter operators or other persons holding a slot at high density 
airports. Generally, the information collection requirements involve 
the air carriers or commuter operators notifying the FAA of their 
current and planned activities regarding use of the arrival and 
departure slots at high density airports. The air carriers or commuter 
operators must notify the FAA of: (1) Requests for confirmation of 
transferred slots; (2) slots required to be returned or slots 
voluntarily returned; (3) requests to be included in a lottery for 
available slots; (4) usage of slots on a bi-monthly basis; and (5) 
requests for short-term use of off-peak hour slots. The information is 
used to allocate and withdraw takeoff and landing slots at high density 
airports, and confirms transfers of slots made among the operators.
    Respondents: Approximately 14 air carriers and commuter operators.
