ACTION: Notice of Proposed Order Limiting Scheduled Operations at Newark Liberty International Airport; Request for Comments. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has tentatively determined that it is necessary to place a temporary limitation on scheduled flight operations at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). The FAA is issuing this proposal as a result of persistent congestion and delays at EWR during the peak operating hours, as well PO 00000 Frm 00124 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 as a dramatic projected increase in flight delays at the airport during the summer of 2008 if proposed schedules were implemented as requested by carriers. We intend this proposed limitation on scheduled operations to relieve the substantial inconvenience to the traveling public caused by excessive congestion-related flight delays at the airport, which magnify as they spread through the National Airspace System. Among other things, this proposal will ensure that projected delays do not increase significantly and provide for a more efficient use of the nation’s airspace. The final Order would take effect at 6 a.m., Eastern Time, on June 1, 2008, and would expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 24, 2009. This proposed limitation on scheduled operations is necessary to prevent an increase in scheduled flights during peak hours. Flights in certain hours in summer 2007 were in excess of the airport’s capacity, and scheduling is a factor in the high level of delays historically experienced at the airport. The proposed limits would apply to all U.S. and foreign air carriers’ scheduled operations, excluding helicopters, from 6 a.m., Eastern Time, through 10:59 p.m., Eastern Time. A final Order would be enforceable under the FAA’s civil penalty authority. In a separate docket, the FAA intends to propose limits on unscheduled flights at EWR during the same hours, as well as a system to allocate the reservations for the available unscheduled operations. The FAA anticipates that the total number of operations at EWR will be limited to an average of 83 per hour. DATES: Send your comments on this proposed order on or before April 1, 2008. You may submit comments, identified by docket number FAA– 2008–0221, using any of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to https://regulations.gov and follow the online instructions for sending your comments electronically. • Mail: Send comments by mail to Docket Operations, U.S. Department of Transportation, M–30, Room W12–140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590–0001. Persons wishing to receive confirmation of receipt of their written submission should include a self-addressed stamped postcard. • Hand Delivery: Deliver comments to Docket Operations in Room W12–140 on the ground floor of the West Building at 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington DC, between 9 a.m. and 5 ADDRESSES: E:\FR\FM\18MRN1.SGM 18MRN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the 
additional documentation provided by the applicant in response to the 
FAA's requests for clarification and the District, to the FAA in 
support of the District's application to impose a PFC at PFN and, once 
that airport closes, at the New PFN and to use the PFC revenue at the 
New PFN to construct New PFN.
    This document requests public comment on the supplementary material 
provided by the applicant, the Panama City-Bay County Airport and 
Industrial District (the District), in response to the FAA's requests 
for clarification of its application to impose a PFC at PFN and, once 
that airport closes, at the New PFN and to use the PFC revenue at the 
New PFN to construct New PFN.
    The supplemental material includes all documentation provided to 
the FAA by the District after July 16, 2007, which was the date of the 
Districts' submission of its PFC application for collection and use of 
PFC revenue to construct certain portions of New PFN. The FAA will 
issue a decision on the District's PFC application under the provisions 
of the 49 U.S.C. 40117 and 14 CFR Part 158.
    Background: On July 16, 2007, the District submitted its 
application to impose a PFC at PFN and, once that airport closes, at 
the New PFN. The District will use the PFC revenue to construct New 
PFN.
    On August 16, 2007, the FAA sent a letter to the District notifying 
it that the PFC application was substantially complete.
    The FAA's decision making process on PFC applications may include 
publishing a notice in the Federal Register informing the public of the 
FAA's intention to rule on the pending application and inviting public 
comment on that application.
    Consideration is given to all comments submitted pursuant to the 
Federal Register Notice during FAA's deliberations on the application. 
The FAA responds to the substantive comments in its Final Agency 
Decision. The FAA published notice and invited comment on the 
District's application in the Federal Register on August 24, 2007. The 
deadline for the public to comment closed on September 24, 2007. The 
FAA did not receive any comments in response to its August 24, 2007 
Federal Register notice.
    In conjunction with rendering its decisions on PFC applications, 
the FAA determines the PFC eligibility for each project, and whether 
the eligible projects are adequately justified. In reviewing the 
application submitted by the District, the FAA discovered that further 
clarification would be helpful to make its required determinations.
    Accordingly, the FAA asked the District to clarify certain 
information on costs related to Project  1--the Perimeter Road 
and Fencing Project and Project 3 Paving/Lighting/NAVAIDS 
(specifically the NAVAIDS portion); and information related to Project 
 6--Facilities (particularly the design of the Public Safety 
Building for Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF)). The FAA also 
asked the District to provide clarification as to the use of AIP and 
PFC funding on the projects.
    In response to the FAA's requests, the District provided 
supplemental material in the form of e-mails, which included cost 
information on perimeter road improvements and NAVAIDS; a revised 
Exhibit 2; a funding summary; and floor plans of the ARFF building.
    Any person may inspect the PFC application and supplementary 
material submitted by the District to the FAA at the FAA office listed 
above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT (call (202) 267-3845 to 
arrange for access).
    In addition, any person may, upon request, inspect the application,
