[FR Doc. 05–19641 Filed 9–29–05; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4710–07–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration Minimum Slot Usage Requirement Notice of denial of request for waiver of the minimum slot usage requirement. ACTION: PO 00000 Frm 00103 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 SUMMARY: The FAA recently issued a letter responding to a request from the Regional Airlines Association (RAA) for a blanket waiver of the minimum slot usage requirement for all slots at the three High Density Traffic Airports. The text of that letter is set forth in this notice. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lorelei Peter, Senior Attorney, Office of the Chief Counsel, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone (202) 267–3073. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Deborah C. McElroy, President, Regional Airline Association, 2025 M Street, NW., Suite 800, Washington, DC 20036–3309. Dear Ms. McElroy: This is in response to your September 9 letter, submitted on behalf of the Regional Airline Association’s (RAA) membership, requesting a waiver of the ‘‘use or lose’’ requirements for slots and slot exemptions held by RAA members at John F. Kennedy International (JFK), LaGuardia (LGA) and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airports (DCA) for the period August 29, 2005 through March 29, 2006. Section 93.227, subsection (j) of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations provides that the Chief Counsel of the FAA may waive the usage requirements of paragraph (a) of that section in the case of ‘‘a highly unusual and unpredictable condition which is beyond the control of the slot-holder and which exists for a period of 9 or more days.’’ As an example, of such a condition, subsection 93.227(j) gives, ‘‘weather conditions which request in the restricted operation of an airport for an extended period of time.’’ RRA points to factors beyond the carriers’ control—including record fuel costs, potential disruptions in fuel supplies, airport closing and major changes in travel patterns—that are creating economic difficulties for airlines of the like that have not been experienced since the aftermath of September 11 or the Gulf War. Your petition further states that the carriers’ inability to raise fares to recoup higher fuel costs will necessitate schedule changes, which will result in either utilization of slots below the 80% minimum specified in our regulations or the operation of flights solely to preserve slot holdings. Additionally, you note that recent challenges to fuel supplies and further increases in fuel costs due to the impact of Hurricane Katrina have critically exacerbated the situation. Your association requests a waiver on behalf of its members for usage E:\FR\FM\30SEN1.SGM 30SEN1
