These carriers will be added to the bottom of the established ranking and will be notified by the FAA, as appropriate, when slot exemptions are available. The adoption of this policy does not necessitate a specific change to the post-lottery allocation procedures. 1. The cap on AIR–21 slot exemptions (7 a.m. through 9:59 p.m.) will remain in effect through December 31, 2006. 2. The FAA may approve the transfer of slot exemption times between carriers only on a temporary one-for-one basis for the purpose of conducting the operation in a different time period. Carriers must certify to the FAA that no other consideration is involved in the transfer. 3. If any subsequent slot exemptions become available for reallocation and there is an eligible carrier seeking slot exemptions, then the available slot exemptions would be offered to that carrier first, provided that the total number of slot exemptions allocated to carriers providing small hub/non-hub service is not below 76. An eligible carrier is one that has certified such eligibility in accordance with OST Order 2000–4–10 to the Department and has a written request on file with the Slot Administration Office and is not conducting service at the airport. Carriers seeking slot exemptions for small hub/nonhub service must certify eligibility to the Department in accordance with OST Order 2000–4–11 and have a written request on file with the Slot Administration Office. If a new, eligible carrier does not select the slot exemptions, then the exemption will be offered to the category of carriers that is below parity, up to the level of re-establishing parity (using respective rank Order). 2 If the slot exemptions are not selected or there are available slot exemptions remaining, then they will be offered to carriers in the same category from which the slot exemptions came. Any remaining slot exemptions not selected will be offered to the other category of carriers, using its respective rank order. 4. A carrier will have three business days after an offer from the Slot Administration Office to accept the offered slot exemption time. Acceptance must be in writing to the Slot Administration Office. If the Slot Administration Office does not receive 2 See 67 FR 45170; July 8, 2002 and 67 FR 65826; October 28, 2002.

Carriers that are offered slot exemption times by the Slot Administration Office must re-certify to the Department in accordance with the procedures articulated in OST Orders 2000–4–10 and 2000–4–11 prior to operations, and provide the Department and the FAA’s Slot Administration Office with the markets they will service, the number of slot exemptions, the frequency, and the time of operation, before the slot exemption times will be allocated by the FAA to the carrier. 6. All operations allocated under the post-lottery procedures must commence within 120 days of a carrier’s acceptance of an available slot exemption. 7. The Chief Counsel will be the final decision maker concerning eligibility of carriers to participate in the allocation process. Issued on June 23, 2005, in Washington, DC. Andrew B. Steinberg, Chief Counsel.
