DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Notice of Submission Deadline for International Arrival
Authorizations at Chicago O'Hare International Airport for the Summer
2008 Scheduling Season
AGENCY: Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA).
ACTION: Notice of submission deadline.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA announces on October 11, 2007, deadline for submitting
requests for international Arrival Authorizations at Chicago O'Hare
International Airport (ORD) for allocation under 14 CFR 93.29. The
deadline coincides with the submission deadline established by the
International Air Transport Association (IATA) for the Summer 2008
Schedules Conference.
The U.S. summary scheduling season is from March 9, 2008 through
November 1, 2008, in recognition of the U.S. daylight saving time
dates. The FAA is aware that the IATA summer 2008 season is March 30,
2008 through October 25, 2008. The FAA will accept schedule changes
that coincide with the IATA scheduling season, rather than U.S.
daylight saving dates, in order to ease the administrative burdens on
carriers conducting international operations and in order to ensure
that FAA has the most accurate schedule information. Schedules for the
beginning or end of a U.S. scheduling season may be reviewed at the
winter or summer schedules conference, as appropriate.
The FAA limits arrivals at ORD from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Central Time,
Monday through Friday, and 12 p.m. to 9 p.m., on Sunday, based
primarily on runway capacity limits. The FAA's restrictions at ORD are
the equivalent of a Level 3 Full Coordinated Airport as used in the
IATA Worldwide Scheduling Guidelines. Separate schedule facilitation is
done at the airport level for international passenger flights operating
at Terminal 5. Carriers also should file Terminal 5 schedules, if
appropriate, to the address listed in the IATA Worldwide Scheduling
Guidelines, Annex 3.
DATES: Requests for international schedule approval must be submitted
no later than October 11, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Requests may be submitted by mail to Slot Administration
Office, AGC-240, Office of the Chief Counsel, 800 Independence Ave.,
SW., Washington, DC 20591; facsimile: 202-267-7277; ARINC: DCAYAXD; or
by e-mail to: 7-AWA-slotadmin@faa.gov.
