Abstract:
This mandated information collection is reported to the FAA by carriers holding a slot at DCA, JFK or LGA; by carriers operating at EWR, LAX, ORD or SFO; and, by operators conducting unscheduled operations at DCA or LGA. The FAA logs, verifies, and processes the requests made by carriers. Reservations for unscheduled operations are recorded by an automated system to provide a confirmation to the operator of a reservation for an unscheduled flight and to maintain the FAA records of approvals and changes to reservations. The FAA uses the information to allocate and withdraw slots at the three slot-controlled airports, confirm transfers of slots made among carriers, and determine operational demand at the airports. The FAA uses this information on a daily basis in order to maintain an accurate slot base. The FAA also uses this information in order to maintain an accurate accounting of operations to ensure compliance with the Rules and Orders in effect. Information at Level 2 schedule-facilitated airports is used to determine potential periods of congestion and delay before flight schedules are finalized. The FAA uses this information to provide recommendations for schedule adjustments that could reduce potential delays. The FAA also uses this information to help provide access to unscheduled operators seeking access to these airports.

Short Statement:
There are not any program changes for DCA that require new information collection. The respondent’s burden for the current collection for DCA has decreased. The FAA updated the slot transfer requests under § 93.221 based on records of recent annual requests, including required consent from both carriers. The estimated time to provide the required information was reduced from .5 hours to .1 hour per transaction, as almost all the requests from slot holders at DCA are generated from the carriers’ slot management and scheduling systems. Also, the time to provide notice of slot returns under § 92.224(a) decreased from 1 hour to .1 hour per transaction Further adjustments reflect the addition of two airports, JFK and LGA, where the FAA collects information to allocate and manage mandatory runway slots under FAA Orders. Four other airports, EWR, LAX, ORD, and SFO, have also been added to reflect the FAA’s collection of information to enable the seasonal advance review of flight schedules, and provide recommendations to carriers to voluntarily adjust schedules to help reduce congestion and delays. A summary of the estimated reporting burden is below. There is some variation of the requirements among the airports as described earlier and the information collection is not identical at each airport. Revision for Annual Reporting Requirement Burden at JFK, LGA, EWR, LAX, ORD, and SFO Description Burden Hours LGA Unscheduled operations reservation system (weekday) 416 LGA Unscheduled operations reservation system (weekend) 46.8 Schedule submissions for upcoming seasons 906 Schedule updates 700 Slot transfers 1,768.2 Slot withdrawals and returns 20.2 Request for inclusion in a lottery 1.5 JFK Usage reporting 340 LGA Usage reporting 72 Total 4,270.7 The FAA has separated collection activity into appropriate information collections. In addition to the collections listed above for JFK, LGA, EWR, LAX, ORD, and SFO, there are 2 DCA only collections: DCA Usage reporting 60 DCA Unscheduled operations reservation system 394.2 The FAA also requests to revise the title of the collection to Air Traffic Slots Management to more accurately reflect the collection of information related to multiple airports.
