E6–6347 Filed 4–26–06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–9X–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration Notice of Submission Deadline for International Slots for the Winter 2006 Scheduling Season AGENCY: Department of Transportation, FAA. ACTION: notice of submission deadline. SUMMARY: On October 1, 1999, the FAA amended the regulations governing takeoff and landing slots and slot allocation procedures at certain High Density Traffic Airports as a result of the ‘‘Open Transborder’’ Agreement between the Government of the United States and the Government of Canada. One element of this final rule established that the deadline for submission of requests for international slots will be published in a Federal Register notice for each scheduling season. The purpose of the amendment is for the FAA deadline for international slots requests to coincide with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) deadline for submission of slot requests. In accordance with this amendment, the FAA announces in this notice that the deadline for submitting requests for international slots at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) for allocation under 14 CFR 93.217 is May 11, 2006. The FAA will allocate international slots through December 31, 2006 only, as the High Density Rule expires at JFK on December 31, 2006. (See 49 U.S.C. 41715(a)(2).) After that date, slots will no longer be required for operation at JFK. The FAA has designated Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (O’Hare) as E:\FR\FM\27APN1.SGM 27APN1 rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 81 / Thursday, April 27, 2006 / Notices a Level 2, Schedules Facilitated Airport under the IATA Guidelines and will review international operations based on runway parameters. The FAA requests carriers intending to conduct international service at O’Hare for the Winter 2006/07 Scheduling Season to submit their intended schedules following the same procedures used for submitting requests for slots at JFK. Carriers are advised that this notice does not alter or change any coordination procedures conducted by the City of Chicago for O’Hare’s Terminal 5 facilities. Finally, the U.S. scheduling season is consistent with the changes in daylight savings time. In accordance with the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109– 58), daylight savings time will begin on March 11, 2007 and end on November 3, 2007. The IATA Northern Winter Scheduling Season will end on March 24, 2007, and its Summer Scheduling Season will only begin on March 25, 2007. There is a two-week period for which the IATA Winter scheduling season will overlap with the U.S. summer scheduling season. We recognize this transition period will cause some carriers to adjust scheduled times based on their network requirements and other considerations. For O’Hare, the FAA will accept carriers’ schedule requests for the entire IATA Northern Winter Scheduling Season (ending on March 24, 2007), even though that will be the first two weeks of the U.S. summer scheduling season. This will facilitate carriers seeking to confirm schedules at other worldwide slot coordinated airports in accordance with the IATA season and coordination process. Carriers should clearly indicate any schedule differences during the March 11 to 24, 2007, period. The FAA intends to provide the maximum practical flexibility to accommodate schedule adjustments during this period and does not anticipate any significant issues regarding historic rights due to the earlier introduction of daylight saving time in the U.S. A deadline for submitting the reamining summer schedules for 2007 will by announced in the Federal Register by September 2006. The Department of Transportation reserves the right to withhold the approval of schedules to any foreign air carrier of a country that does not provide equivalent rights of access to its airports for U.S. air carriers, as determined by the Secretary of Transportation. VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:13 Apr 26, 2006 Jkt 208001 Requests for international slots must be submitted no later than May 11, 2006.

Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name and docket number or Regulatory Information Number (RIN). For Technical Information Contact: Joan Seward, All Weather Operations Program Manager, ASW–230.1, FAA SW Region Headquarters, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137, telephone (817) 222–5278, e-mail: Joan.M.Seward@faa.gov. In December of 2005, Southwest announced its intent to begin scheduled service at DEN commencing in January 2006. As required by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 119.51, Southwest applied to the FAA to amend Southwest’s OpSpecs to include DEN, thereby authorizing Southwest to conduct DEN service. The request to the FAA detailed Southwest’s startup plans, commencing on January 3, 2006, with 13 daily landing/take-off cycles (LTO),1 equating to a total of 26 operations, and contained other information for the FAA to conduct the environmental review required under the regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (40 CFR 1500–1508), section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act (40 CFR 93.150 et seq.), and by FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures. At that time Southwest indicated an interest in increasing operations to as many as 50 or 60 daily operations at DEN, but agreed to maintain operations at DEN below de minimis levels until a General SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1 For clarification, the phrase ‘‘one round trip’’ is synonymous with a landing/takeoff cycle (LTO). The LTO consists of an aircraft taxiing from the terminal gate area to the runway, taking off by accelerating down the runway until 1,000 feet off the ground, climbing to the altitude of the local mixing height, returning on approach by descending from the mixing height to the runway, and finally completing the cycle by taxiing from the runway to the gate. An aircraft operation is defined as either a landing or a takeoff. Therefore, one LTO cycle is equal to two aircraft operations. E:\FR\FM\27APN1.SGM 27APN1

Notice of Submission Deadline for International Slots for the 
Winter 2006 Scheduling Season

AGENCY: Department of Transportation, FAA.

ACTION: notice of submission deadline.

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

SUMMARY: On October 1, 1999, the FAA amended the regulations governing 
takeoff and landing slots and slot allocation procedures at certain 
High Density Traffic Airports as a result of the ``Open Transborder'' 
Agreement between the Government of the United States and the 
Government of Canada. One element of this final rule established that 
the deadline for submission of requests for international slots will be 
published in a Federal Register notice for each scheduling season. The 
purpose of the amendment is for the FAA deadline for international 
slots requests to coincide with the International Air Transport 
Association (IATA) deadline for submission of slot requests.
    In accordance with this amendment, the FAA announces in this notice 
that the deadline for submitting requests for international slots at 
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) for allocation under 14 CFR 
93.217 is May 11, 2006. The FAA will allocate international slots 
through December 31, 2006 only, as the High Density Rule expires at JFK 
on December 31, 2006. (See 49 U.S.C. 41715(a)(2).) After that date, 
slots will no longer be required for operation at JFK.
    The FAA has designated Chicago's O'Hare International Airport 
(O'Hare) as

a Level 2, Schedules Facilitated Airport under the IATA Guidelines and 
will review international operations based on runway parameters. The 
FAA requests carriers intending to conduct international service at 
O'Hare for the Winter 2006/07 Scheduling Season to submit their 
intended schedules following the same procedures used for submitting 
requests for slots at JFK. Carriers are advised that this notice does 
not alter or change any coordination procedures conducted by the City 
of Chicago for O'Hare's Terminal 5 facilities.
    Finally, the U.S. scheduling season is consistent with the changes 
in daylight savings time. In accordance with the Energy Policy Act of 
2005 (Pub. L. 109-58), daylight savings time will begin on March 11, 
2007 and end on November 3, 2007. The IATA Northern Winter Scheduling 
Season will end on March 24, 2007, and its Summer Scheduling Season 
will only begin on March 25, 2007. There is a two-week period for which 
the IATA Winter scheduling season will overlap with the U.S. summer 
scheduling season. We recognize this transition period will cause some 
carriers to adjust scheduled times based on their network requirements 
and other considerations. For O'Hare, the FAA will accept carriers' 
schedule requests for the entire IATA Northern Winter Scheduling Season 
(ending on March 24, 2007), even though that will be the first two 
weeks of the U.S. summer scheduling season. This will facilitate 
carriers seeking to confirm schedules at other worldwide slot 
coordinated airports in accordance with the IATA season and 
coordination process. Carriers should clearly indicate any schedule 
differences during the March 11 to 24, 2007, period. The FAA intends to 
provide the maximum practical flexibility to accommodate schedule 
adjustments during this period and does not anticipate any significant 
issues regarding historic rights due to the earlier introduction of 
daylight saving time in the U.S. A deadline for submitting the 
reamining summer schedules for 2007 will by announced in the Federal 
Register by September 2006.

approval of schedules to any foreign air carrier of a country that does 
not provide equivalent rights of access to its airports for U.S. air 
carriers, as determined by the Secretary of Transportation.
