Title: AVIATOR (Automated Vacancy
Information Access Tool for Online
Referral) Customer Satisfaction Survey.
Form Numbers: N/A (electronic).
Type of Review: Renewal.
Background: The Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993
(GPRA) Section 2(b)(3) requires agencies
to ‘‘improve Federal program
effectiveness and public accountability
by promoting a new focus on results,
service quality, and customer
satisfaction’’. In addition, as stated in
the White House ‘‘Memorandum for
Heads of Executive Departments and
Agencies’’ regarding Executive Order
No. 12862, ‘‘the actions the order
prescribes, such as surveying customers,
surveying employees, and
benchmarking, shall be continuing
agency activities’’. This collection
supports the DOT strategic goal of
Organizational Excellence.
In compliance with the Government
Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA), all
of our data collection will be 100%
electronic using an online form;
Applicants will be asked to complete
the survey just before they exit the
system. AVIATOR is the FAA’s Online
Job Application System. The AVIATOR
Customer Satisfaction Survey is
designed to identify potential problems
with FAA’s automated staffing solutions
as well as to evaluate customer
satisfaction with the on-line application
process. The information is not gathered
by any other collection. It will be
difficult, if not impossible, to improve
the AVIATOR system’s overall
performance and customer satisfaction
without utilizing the survey as a
performance measurement tool.
Respondents: Individuals who use
AVIATOR (the FAA’s Online Job
Application System).
Frequency: on occasion of use of
AVIATOR.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: .05 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 82
hours (It is estimated that it will take
each of the 75,515 (estimated average)
external applicants three minutes to
complete one survey for a total of 3,776
hours, if all external applicants choose
to complete the AVIATOR Customer
Satisfaction Survey. The survey
statistics show that an average of 2.2%
of the applicants (approximately 1,645)
complete a survey resulting in an
estimate of 82 total hours.)

AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
FAA invites public comments about our
intention to request approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to renew and revise a currently
approved information collection. The
FAA collects information to allocate and
administer landing and takeoff slots and
maintain accurate records of slot
transfers at Ronald Reagan Washington
National Airport (DCA) under a
currently approved collection. The FAA
is requesting a renewal for the DCA
information collection and a revision to
include six additional airports: John F.
Kennedy International Airport (JFK),
LaGuardia Airport (LGA), Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX), Newark
Liberty International Airport (EWR),
O’Hare International Airport (ORD), and
San Francisco International Airport
(SFO).
The information collection is required
from air carriers and other operators at
all impacted airports.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by May 29, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA
at the following address: Barbara Hall,
Federal Aviation Administration, ASP–

Worth, TX 76177.
Public Comments Invited: Public
comment is invited on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for FAA’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to

of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be

Title: High Density Traffic Airports;
Slot Allocation and Transfer Methods.
Form Numbers: There are no FAA
forms associated with this collection.
Type of Review: Renewal and
Revision of an Information Collection.
Background
The FAA has implemented several
initiatives to address congestion and
delay issues at certain airports within
the National Airspace System (NAS).
The FAA has issued Orders limiting
operations at JFK and LGA.1 These
Orders resulted in part from increasing
congestion and delays at the airports
requiring the FAA to allocate arrival and
departure slots at JFK and LGA.
Additionally, the FAA has designated
Newark Liberty International Airport
(EWR), Chicago O’Hare International
Airport (ORD), San Francisco
International Airport (SFO), and Los
Angeles International Airport (LAX) as
Level 2 schedule-facilitated airports
under the IATA WSG.2 These Level 2
designations largely resulted from
increasing congestion and delays
requiring FAA to implement a voluntary
schedule-facilitation process to manage
operational growth at EWR, ORD, and
SFO. The FAA designated LAX as Level
2 due to long-term construction projects
expected to reduce runway capacity.
The agency will review this designation
upon the completion of the planned
construction at LAX.
The FAA uses the current DCA
information collection approval in

International Airport, 73 FR 3510 (Jan. 18, 2008), as

administering the slot program for
scheduled and unscheduled operations
at DCA established under 14 CFR part
93, subparts K and S. The FAA utilizes
the collected information to (1) allocate
available air carrier slots; (2) execute
slot transfers; (3) record slot returns; (4)
approve slot reservations for
unscheduled or ‘‘other’’ operators; and
(5) track slot usage. Carriers at DCA are
the primary providers of slot
information to the FAA.
The revision to the existing
information collection approval would
include information reported to the
FAA by carriers holding a slot at JFK or
LGA; by unscheduled operators at LGA;
and by carriers operating scheduled
flights at EWR, LAX, ORD, and SFO. At
JFK, carriers must notify the FAA of: (1)
Requests for confirmation of transferred
slots; (2) requests for seasonal allocation
of historic and additional available
slots; (3) usage of slots on a seasonal
basis; (4) the return of slots; and (5)
changes to allocated slots. At LGA,
carriers must notify the FAA of: (1)
Requests for confirmation of transferred
slots; (2) compulsory or voluntary slot
returns; (3) requests to be included in a
lottery for available slots; and (4) usage
of slots on a bi-monthly basis. At LGA,
unscheduled operators must request and
obtain a reservation from the FAA prior
to conducting an operation. At EWR,
LAX, ORD and SFO, carriers are asked
to notify the FAA of their intended
operating schedules during peak hours
on a semiannual basis and when there
are significant schedule changes.
The FAA estimates that all
information from carriers is submitted
electronically from data stored in carrier
scheduling databases. Nearly all
requests for unscheduled operation
reservations are submitted electronically
through either an internet or touch-tone
system interface.
Respondents: 140 carriers at various
airports; unknown number of
unscheduled operators at LGA and
DCA.
Frequency: Information is collected as
needed; some reporting on bimonthly or
semiannual basis.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 6 minutes per slot transfer
per respondent (i.e. transferor and
transferee); 6 minutes per slot return; 6
minutes per schedule update; 6 minutes
per request for inclusion in a lottery; 2
minutes per unscheduled slot request;
1.5 hours per schedule submission; and
1 hour per slot usage report.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 5367
hours.

The FAA has implemented several initiatives to address congestion

largely resulted from increasing congestion and delays requiring FAA to
