Download as PDF 21150 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 68 / Monday, April 9, 2012 / Notices limited to no more than two years except under special circumstances (e.g., new entrants). limited to one year in accordance with past guidance. pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES The air carrier incentive program was never intended to be a maximum sustainable market growth-incentive program where airlines would be incentivized to test the limits of a markets demands. Rather the program was offered to airports to encourage airlines to test new markets and offer passengers more travel options and in turn promote more travel using the airport. The limits on allowable incentive periods have been vetted by FAA and deemed reasonable timeframes for airlines to assess the demand for a ‘‘new service’’ and evaluate the sustainability to continue that service without incentives in accordance with existing policy, grant assurance obligations, and statute. III. Conclusion Incentive programs must walk the fine line between allowing sponsors the ability to enhance the viability of new service through temporary incentives and simply buying increased use of the airport. The air carrier incentive program, as currently constituted, ensures properly structured programs will meet the goals for which an air carrier incentive program is allowed. FAA has viewed the CCDOAs petition in order to ensure its proposal will meet the same goals. As such, FAA agrees that, with certain conditions in place, incentive programs may include opportunities for air carriers to upgauge existing service. The conditions must require flight schedules are not contracted while allowing airlines to receive proportional credit for upgauging existing flight(s) to targeted market(s) within the schedule to provide more capacity. While FAA agrees to expand its interpretation of ‘‘new service’’ to include upgauging with stated parameters as an accepted form of new service, the onus to create an incentive program that is not unjustly discriminatory must be borne by the sponsor responsible for the airportspecific air carrier incentive program. The conditions included within this notice are guidance. All existing guidance not addressed herein remains applicable. FAA reminds airport sponsors: Incentives must not be offered in an unjustly discriminatory manner; incentives must be applied similarly to similarly situated carriers participating in incentive programs; new entrants are deemed similarly situated to incumbents after one year; and additional incentives for incumbents are VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:11 Apr 06, 2012 Jkt 226001 Issued in Washington, DC on April 3, 2012.
