Medical Review Board (MRB); Notice of Partially Closed Meeting, 60432-60433 [2022-21564]

Download as PDF 60432 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 192 / Wednesday, October 5, 2022 / Notices Generally, the FAA uses average hourly runway capacity throughput for airports and performance metrics in conducting its schedule review at Level 2 airports and determining the scheduling limits at Level 3 airports included in FAA rules or orders.7 The FAA also considers other factors that can affect operations, such as capacity changes due to runway, taxiway, or other airport construction, air traffic control procedural changes, airport surface operations, and historical or projected flight delays and congestion. Finally, the FAA notes that the schedule information submitted by carriers to the FAA may be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The WSG also provides for release of information at certain stages of slot coordination and schedule facilitation. In general, once it acts on a schedule submission or slot request, the FAA may release information on slot allocation or similar slot transactions, or schedule information reviewed as part of the schedule facilitation process. The FAA does not expect that practice to change, and most slot and schedule information would not be exempt from release under FOIA. The FAA recognizes that some carriers may submit information on schedule plans that is both customarily and actually treated as private. Carriers that submit such confidential schedule information should clearly mark the information, or any relevant portions thereof, as proprietary information (‘‘PROPIN’’). The FAA will take the necessary steps to protect properly designated information to the extent allowable by law. EWR General Information Consistent with the WSG, carriers are asked for their voluntary cooperation to adjust schedules to meet the targeted scheduling limits in order to minimize potential congestion and delay. For the Summer 2023 scheduling season, the voluntary, targeted hourly scheduling limits remains at 79 operations and 43 operations per half-hour.8 To help with a balance between arrivals and departures, the targeted maximum jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES 7 The FAA typically determines an airport’s average adjusted runway capacity or typical throughput for Level 2 airports by reviewing hourly data on the arrival and departure rates that air traffic control indicates could be accepted for that hour, commonly known as ‘‘called’’ rates. The FAA also reviews the actual number of arrivals and departures that operated in the same hour. Generally, the FAA uses the higher of the two numbers, called or actual, for identifying trends and schedule review purposes. Some dates are excluded from analysis, such as during periods when extended airport closures or construction could affect capacity. 8 83 FR 21335 (May 9, 2018). VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:05 Oct 04, 2022 Jkt 259001 number of scheduled arrivals or departures, respectively, is 43 in an hour and 24 in a half-hour. These targets are expected to allow some higher levels of operations in certain periods (not to exceed the hourly limits) and some recovery from lower demand in adjacent periods. Consistent with general established practice at EWR, the FAA will accept flights above the limits if the flights were operated as approved, or treated as operated, by the same carrier on a regular basis in the previous corresponding season (i.e., Summer 2022) and consistent with the recent DOT reassignment of 16 peak-hour runway timings.9 The FAA is aware that some carriers have recently operated flights without approved runway times, which is inconsistent with Level 2 airport principles. Carriers are reminded FAA approval for runway times is separate from the approval process for gates or other airport infrastructure and both are essential for the success of Level 2 at EWR. Schedule facilitation at Level 2 airports is designed to engender collaboration and gain mutual agreement between the carriers and the FAA regarding schedules and potential adjustments to stay within the performance goals and capacity limits of the airport and to mitigate delays and congestion that would result in the need for Level 3 slot controls.10 As we emerge from the pandemic, the FAA expects that all carriers operating at EWR will respect the targeted hourly and halfhourly scheduling limits and continue to work cooperatively with the FAA in order to avoid unacceptable delays and other adverse operational impacts at the airport. The Level 2 process at EWR does not provide priority consideration for flights that were scheduled or operated without approved runway times.11 9 See Department of Transportation Order 2022– 7–1, Docket DOT–OST–2021–0103, served July 5, 2022, ‘‘Reassignment of Schedules at NewarkLiberty International Airport’’. 10 See FAA Slot Administration website ‘‘Slot Administration—U.S. Level 2 Airports’’ available at: https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/ headquarters_offices/ato/service_units/systemops/ perf_analysis/slot_administration/slot_ administration_schedule_facilitation/level-2airports. 11 Change of Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) Designation, 81 FR 19861 at 19862 (April, 6, 2016). Note: The WSG recognizes that some carriers might operate at times without approval from the airports schedule facilitator. Further, the Change of EWR Designation notice provides ‘‘consistent with the WSG carriers would not receive historic status for such flights if the airport level changes from Level 2 to Level 3.’’ PO 00000 Frm 00068 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Issued in Washington, DC, on September 30, 2022.
