BILLING CODE 4910–13–P
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
The FAA proposed to modify the
August 2004 Order temporarily limiting
scheduled operations at O’Hare to allow
carriers to trade and transfer scheduled
arrivals for consideration for the
remaining duration of the Order based
on our tentative determination that
there is merit to allowing carriers to
modify their schedules for competitive
or operational reasons through various
market mechanisms prior to the
effective date of the August 29, 2006
Final Rule regulating scheduled arrivals
at O’Hare. After considering the
responses, the FAA has determined to
make this finding final.
Accordingly, with respect to
scheduled flight operations at O’Hare
under the August 2004 Order, as
amended, it is ordered that paragraph
6 be amended to state:
6. An air carrier who is currently
operating or has committed prior to the
expiration of this Order to operate at
O’Hare by January 27, 2007, may buy,
sell, lease or otherwise transfer or trade
any scheduled arrival from 7 a.m.
through 8:59 p.m. to or from any other
air carrier who is currently operating or
has committed prior to the expiration of
this Order to operate at O’Hare by
January 27, 2007. Transactions
permitted by this paragraph must be
completed prior to the October 28, 2006
expiration of this Order. Each air carrier
must receive advance written approval
of the Administrator, or her delegate, of
the trade or transfer. All requests to
trade or transfer a scheduled arrival
must be submitted in writing to the FAA
Slot Administration Office, facsimile
(202) 267–7277 or e-mail 7–AWASlotadmin@faa.gov, and must come
from a designated representative of the
air carrier.

Conclusion
Membership in the National Parks
Overflights Advisory Group
2 We additionally reject Independence Air’s
arguments for the following reasons. First, we do
not view the Arrival Authorizations created in the
August 2004 Order to be ‘‘property’’ within the
definition of the Bankruptcy Code. 11 U.S.C. 541(a).
These Arrival Authorizations did not provide the
opportunity to receive value through a purchase,
sale or lease and without a market, had no value.
In re Gull Air, 890 F. 2d 1255 (1st Cir. 1989). They
were merely restrictions on the use of property—
airplanes, not property in themselves. In re Braniff
Airways, 700 F. 2d 935 (5th Cir. 1983).
