Congestion Management Rule for John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport; Correction, 66516-66517 [E8-26567]

Download as PDF 66516 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 218 / Monday, November 10, 2008 / Rules and Regulations dwashington3 on PRODPC61 with RULES part 71) to revise Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. above the surface and from 1,200 ft. above the surface at Ruby, AK (73 FR 51254). The action was proposed in order to create Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft while executing instrument procedures for the Ruby Airport. Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface in the Ruby Airport area is revised by this action. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. The rule is adopted as proposed. The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83. The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1,200 ft. transition areas are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9S, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. The Rule This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 revises Class E airspace at the Ruby Airport, Alaska. This Class E airspace is revised to accommodate aircraft executing amended instrument procedures, and will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The intended effect of this rule is to provide adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the Ruby Airport, Ruby, Alaska. The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. It, therefore—(1) is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:24 Nov 07, 2008 Jkt 217001 Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart 1, Section 40103, Sovereignty and use of airspace. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it creates Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft executing instrument procedures for the Ruby Airport and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air). Adoption of the Amendment In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows: ■ PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, CLASS B, CLASS C, CLASS D, AND CLASS E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIRWAYS; ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS 1.

The final rule addressed congestion in the New York City area by assigning slots at John F.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On October 10, 2008 (73 FR 60544), the FAA published a final rule that will grandfather most of the existing operations at the airports. However, carriers will be required, for the first time, to purchase collectively approximately ten percent of the slots at each of the airports. There are no carveouts or special provisions for new entrants or limited incumbents. This rule will improve the efficiency of the National Airspace System by forcing a market-based mechanism for establishing the value of slots.

In the final rule, the FAA intended the initial reversion of slots for auction to take effect 30 days after the final rule’s effective date, which would be January 8, 2009. This was the time period referenced in the final rule as approved by the Office of Management and Budget. The January 13, 2009 date published in the Federal Register reflects an incorrect time period of 35 days following the final rule effective date. At present, the FAA intends to auction the initial slate of slots on or about January 12, 2009. While the slots revert to the FAA under the rule on January 8, 2009, the FAA is not required to conduct the auction on that date, and no carrier will lose the ability to operate any slot that meets the usage requirements of the John F. Kennedy (JFK) and Newark Liberty (Newark) International Airport Orders before October 25, 2009.

Congestion Management Rule for John F. Kennedy International 
Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a final rule published in the October 
10, 2008, Federal Register. The final rule addressed congestion in the 
New York City area by assigning slots at John F. Kennedy (JFK) and 
Newark Liberty (Newark) International Airports in a way that allows 
carriers to respond to market forces to drive efficient airline 
behavior. The original rule incorrectly identified the date by which 
limited slots will revert to the FAA for auction. This rule corrects 
the date.

DATES: This correction will become effective on December 9, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On October 10, 2008 (73 FR 60544), the FAA published a final rule 
that will grandfather most of the existing operations at the airports. 
However, carriers will be required, for the first time, to purchase 
collectively approximately ten percent of the slots at each of the 
airports. There are no carve-outs or special provisions for new 
entrants or limited incumbents. This rule will improve the efficiency 
of the National Airspace System by forcing a market-based mechanism for 
establishing the value of slots. Under prevailing economic theory, once 
the true value of slots is assessed, carriers

[[Page 66517]]

will make financial business decisions that would maximize the slots' 
use.
    In the final rule, the FAA intended the initial reversion of slots 
for auction to take effect 30 days after the final rule's effective 
date, which would be January 8, 2009. This was the time period 
referenced in the final rule as approved by the Office of Management 
and Budget. The January 13, 2009 date published in the Federal Register 
reflects an incorrect time period of 35 days following the final rule 
effective date.
    At present, the FAA intends to auction the initial slate of slots 
on or about January 12, 2009. While the slots revert to the FAA under 
the rule on January 8, 2009, the FAA is not required to conduct the 
auction on that date, and no carrier will lose the ability to operate 
any slot that meets the usage requirements of the John F. Kennedy (JFK) 
and Newark Liberty (Newark) International Airport Orders before October 
25, 2009. Accordingly, this correction notice will have no practical 
impact on carriers operating at the airports.
