[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 14, Volume 2] [Revised as of January 1, 2007] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 14CFR93.30] [Page 641-642] TITLE 14--AERONAUTICS AND SPACE CHAPTER I--FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (CONTINUED) PART 93_SPECIAL AIR TRAFFIC RULES--Table of Contents Subpart B_Congestion and Delay Reduction at Chicago O'Hare International Airport Sec. 93.30 Assignment provisions for domestic and U.S./Canada transborder service. (a) Whenever the FAA has determined that sufficient Arrival Authorizations are available, they will be assigned by lottery in accordance with this section. Only U.S. and Canadian air carriers are eligible to participate in a lottery. U.S. and Canadian air carriers must hold appropriate economic authority for scheduled service under Title 49 of the U.S.C. and FAA operating authority under parts 121, 129, or 135 of this chapter to select Arrival Authorizations in a lottery. (b) Arrival Authorizations not assigned under Sec. 93.25, or returned to the FAA under Sec. Sec. 93.26(a) or 93.31 for reassignment shall be assigned by a Preferred Lottery. (c) Any Arrival Authorization available as the result of an increase in the hourly limits under Sec. 93.23(a) of this part from 88 Arrival Authorizations to 89 or 90 shall be assigned by Preferred Lottery. (d) Any Arrival Authorizations available as the result of an increase above 90 in the hourly limits specified in Sec. 93.23(a) of this subpart shall be assigned by lottery that is open to all U.S. and Canadian air carriers eligible to participate. (e) The FAA will publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing the lottery dates and any special procedures for the lotteries. (f) Any U.S. or Canadian air carrier seeking to participate in any lottery must notify the FAA in writing, and such notification must be received by the FAA 15 days prior to the lottery date. The U.S. or Canadian air carrier must specify if it is requesting to participate in a lottery as a New Entrant or Limited Incumbent. The U.S. or Canadian air carrier must also disclose in its notification whether it has Common Ownership with any other Carrier and, if so, identify such Carrier. (g) A random lottery shall be held to determine the order in which participating Carriers shall select an Arrival Authorization. (h) In any Preferred Lottery, each New Entrant and Limited Incumbent will have the opportunity to select Arrival Authorizations, if available as provided in paragraph (i) of this section, until it holds a total of eight Arrival Authorizations. Arrival Authorizations remaining after all New Entrants and Limited Incumbents have been accommodated may be assigned to any other Carrier participating in the lottery. Arrival Authorizations remaining after all New Entrants and Limited Incumbents have been accommodated may be assigned to any U.S. or Canadian air carrier participating in [[Page 642]] the lottery for a minimum of 12 months, and then until the next lottery, when such Arrival Authorizations would again be available on a preferred basis to New Entrants and Limited Incumbents. (i) At the lottery, each Carrier must make its selection within 5 minutes after being called or it shall lose its turn. If Arrival Authorizations still remain after each Carrier has had an opportunity to select Arrival Authorizations, the assignment sequence will be repeated in the same order. A Carrier may select one Arrival Authorization during each sequence, except that New Entrants may select two Arrival Authorizations, if available, in the first sequence of a Preferred Lottery. (j) If there are available Arrival Authorizations for a temporary period, for example, Arrival Authorizations pending assignment in a lottery or international arrivals that are temporarily returned, the FAA may assign these Authorizations on a non-permanent, first-come, first- served basis.
