Title: ●Congestion Management Rule for John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport
Abstract: This rulemaking would establish procedures to address congestion in the New York City area by assigning slots at John F. Kennedy (JFK) and Newark Liberty (Newark) International Airports in a way that allows carriers to respond to market forces to drive efficient airline behavior. This rulemaking would be a companion to a separate rulemaking initiative addressing congestion mitigation at New York´s LaGuardia airport (RIN 2120-AI70). This rulemaking is similar to that rulemaking, but it takes into consideration the characteristics of both JFK and Newark, including the large number of international flights at these airports and our international obligations. This rulemaking would have one of two alternatives to extend the caps on the operations at the two airports, assign to existing operators the majority of slots at the airports, and create a market by annually auctioning off a limited number of slots in each of the first 5 years of the rule.

Additional Information: The estimated present value of net benefits of improved slot allocation by auctions is between $256 million and $267 million at JFK and between $207 million and 218 million at Newark from 2009 to 2019. The costs of the rule, with a present value between $11 and $22 million each at JFK and Newark, are due to the design, implementation and participation in an auction of slots.
