Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Transportation Project in Florida, 43502-43503 [2024-10847]

Download as PDF 43502 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 97 / Friday, May 17, 2024 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES the United States depends on the voluntary cooperation of carriers. The FAA considers several factors and priorities that are consistent with the WSG as it reviews schedule and slot requests at Level 2 and Level 3 airports, including (1) historic slots or services from the previous equivalent season over new demand for the same timings; (2) services that are unchanged over services that plan to change time or other capacity relevant parameters; (3) introduction of year-round services; (4) effective period of operation; (5) regularly planned operations over ad hoc operations; and (6) other operational factors that may limit a carrier’s timing flexibility. The FAA seeks to maintain close communications with carriers and terminal schedule facilitators on potential runway schedule issues or terminal and gate issues that may affect the runway times. In addition to applying these priorities from the WSG, the U.S. Government has adopted a number of measures and procedures to promote competition and new entry at U.S. slot-controlled and schedulefacilitated airports. Slot management in the United States differs in some respect from procedures in other countries. In the United States, the FAA is responsible for facilitation and coordination of runway access for takeoffs and landings at Level 2 and Level 3 airports; however, the airport authority or its designee is responsible for facilitation and coordination of terminal/gate/airport facility access. The process with the individual airports for terminal access and other airport services is separate from, and in addition to, the FAA schedule review based on runway capacity. 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.4 The FAA also considers other factors that can affect operations, such as capacity changes due to runway, taxiway, or other airport construction, air traffic 4 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. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:20 May 16, 2024 Jkt 262001 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 Winter 2024/2025 scheduling season, the voluntary, targeted hourly scheduling limits remain at 77 operations and 41 operations per halfhour.5 To help with a balance between arrivals and departures, the targeted maximum number of scheduled arrivals or departures, respectively, is 41 in an hour and 22 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., Winter 2023/ 2024) and consistent with DOT’s 2022 reassignment of 16 peak-hour runway timings.6 However, the FAA does not intend to approve requests for new flights unless they can be 5 See 88 FR 64964 (September 20, 2023). Department of Transportation Order 2022– 7–1, Docket DOT–OST–2021–0103, served July 5, 2022, ‘‘Reassignment of Schedules at NewarkLiberty International Airport.’’ 6 See PO 00000 Frm 00133 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 accommodated within the targeted limits. The FAA is seeking carriers’ voluntary cooperation to get scheduled operations down to the targeted scheduling limits. Carriers are reminded that 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. The FAA expects that all carriers operating at EWR will respect the targeted scheduling limits and work cooperatively with the FAA in order to avoid unacceptable delays and other adverse operational impacts at the airport.
