Airspace and Flight Operations Requirements for the 1996 Summer
Olympic Games, Atlanta, GA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR), applicable
May 15, 1996, through August 11, 1996, establishes airspace and flight
operations requirements for the XXVI Olympic Games. The FAA believes
this regulation is necessary for the security of the venues, safe
operation, and management of aircraft operating to, within, and from
these areas, and to prevent any unsafe congestion of sightseeing and
other aircraft over the various game sites.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 13, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The 1996 Olympic Games will be held from July 19 through August 4,
1996, primarily in the Atlanta, Georgia, area and will mark the 100th
anniversary of the modern Olympic Games. The event is the largest
single, peace-time event in the history of the world. Over 350,000
visitors a day are expected to attend the games. In terms of air
traffic demand, the pregame, game, and postgame activities from July 19
through August 4 are expected to generate substantial increases in
aircraft operations in the Atlanta area as well as other sites in the
United States. Those sites are:
The Olympic Village--Atlanta, GA
The Olympic Ring--Atlanta, GA
Wolf Creek Skeet Range--Atlanta, GA
Atlanta Beach--Jonesboro, GA
International Horsepark--Covington, GA
Stone Mountain Park--Stone Mountain, GA
Lake Sidney Lanier--Gainesville, GA
Sanford Stadium--Athens, GA
Golden Park--Columbus, GA
Lee College--Cleveland, TN
U.S. Highway 64--Tennessee
Ocoee River--Tennessee
Legion Field--Birmingham, AL
The Olympic Village--Savannah, GA
Sail Harbor and Wilmington River Transit Zone--Savannah, GA
Sailing Venue--Savannah, GA
The Citrus Bowl--Orlando, FL
The Orange Bowl--Miami, FL
RFK Stadium--Washington, DC
The Olympic Village--Davie, FL
The Olympic Village--Columbus, GA
The Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR)
This rule establishes an SFAR to provide for the security of
persons and property in the air and on the ground, and for the safe and
efficient movement of air traffic during the Olympic period. To
accomplish this goal, the SFAR is designed for flexibility and
adaptability.
Traffic Management Arrival/Departure Slot Reservation System
During the busy Olympic period, the FAA must ensure continued safe
and efficient use of airspace and air traffic control capacity. To
achieve this objective while minimizing disruption to the air traveling
public, the FAA establishes an arrival/departure slot reservation
system for fixed-wing aircraft to manage air traffic into and out of
key airports in the Atlanta area.
For purposes of this SFAR the following definitions apply: (1)
Domestic air transportation (domestic)--the carriage by aircraft of
persons or property as a common carrier for compensation or hire, or
the carriage of mail by aircraft, in commerce originating in the United
States and commencing any place within the United States. (2) Foreign
air transportation (foreign)--the carriage by aircraft of persons or
property as a common carrier for compensation or hire, or carriage of
mail by aircraft, in commerce between a place in the United States and
any place outside of the United States. (3) Scheduled operations--
foreign and domestic air carrier and cargo operations published in the
Official Air Line Guide (OAG) as of June 30, 1996, and/or routine
consistent operations operated same time, day and number of days per
week as in regularly scheduled cargo operations. This category also
includes additional operations by scheduled operators at the same
airport if those operations are listed in the OAG as of June 30, 1996.
(4) Non-scheduled operations--foreign and domestic charters and cargo
operations not published in the OAG as of June 30, 1996, and/or not
operated on a routine consistent basis during the same time, day and
number of days per week, excluding helicopters. This category also
includes additional operations by scheduled operators at the same
airport that are not listed in the OAG as of June 30, 1996. (5) Other
operations--all operations conducted by operators that do not hold
either an air carrier certificate or an operating certificate for
common carriage issued under SFAR 38-2 or Part 119 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations or any operations conducted under Part 129 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations. These operations exclude helicopters and
include, but are not limited to, general aviation and business
operations conducted under Part 91.
The slot reservation system will be applicable to visual flight
rules (VFR) arrivals at four specified airports, VFR departures at four
specified airports, and to non-scheduled instrument flight rules (IFR)
operations at 11 specified airports. As with most special events,
airborne holding will not be authorized in lieu of a ground delay.
Thus, aircraft without reservations may anticipate lengthy delays at
departure airports.
VFR arrival slot reservations are required for: Cobb County-
McCollum Field Airport (RYY), Marietta, GA; DeKalb-Peachtree Airport
(PDK), Atlanta, GA; Fulton County-Brown Field Airport (FTY), Atlanta,
GA; and Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport (LZU), Lawrenceville, GA.
VFR departure slot reservations are required for: Cobb County
Airport-McCollum Field (RYY), Marietta, GA; DeKalb-Peachtree Airport
(PDK), Atlanta, GA; Fulton County-Brown Field Airport (FTY), Atlanta,
GA; and Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport (LZU), Lawrenceville, GA.
Non-scheduled IFR slot reservations are required for: Clayton
County-Tara Field Airport (4A7), Hampton, GA; Cobb County-McCollum
Field Airport (RYY), Marietta, GA; Covington Municipal Airport (9A1),
Covington, GA; DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK), Atlanta, GA; Ben Epps
Field Airport (AHN), Athens, GA; Peachtree City-Falcon Field Airport
(FFC), Peachtree City, GA; Fulton County Airport-Brown Field Airport
(FTY), Atlanta; GA; Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport (GVL), Gainesville, GA;
Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport (LZU), Lawrenceville, GA; the
William B. Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Atlanta, GA;
and Richard B. Russell Airport (RMG), Rome, GA.
Beginning May 15, 1996, through June 30, 1996, non-scheduled
operators may submit their request for slot reservations for the
affected airports via Internet
[[Page 5493]]
address [[email protected]] or facsimile number [(770) 946-
7938]. Request confirmations will be provided within 72 hours of
receipt via the form of request. From the period July 1 through July
13, 1996, the FAA will not receive any requests. However, beginning
July 14, 1996, 7:00 a.m. (EDT), all operators can reserve VFR arrival
and departure or IFR arrival and departure slots at these airports by
calling 1-800-96FAA96 (1-800-963-2296), 24 hours a day. Reservation
slots may be reserved no sooner than 72 hours before your estimated
time of arrival or departure.
The following information must be provided for all requests
(reservation requests beginning May 15 through June 30, 1996, via
Internet address or facsmile number, and via the telephone number as of
July 14, 1996): Arrival Reservations: destination airport, estimated
time of arrival, call sign, direction of arrival to the Atlanta area
and type aircraft; Departure Reservations: departure airport, estimated
time of departure, call sign, destination airport, first fix after
departure and type aircraft; and Confirmation Method: operator's
Internet address or facsimile number for return confirmation for
arrival and departure reservations for those reservations processed
prior to July 1, 1996.
Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) Areas
The FAA establishes TFR areas over the Olympic Villages and
competition sites. The establishment of TFR areas over the competition
venues would result in the restriction of aircraft operations in these
areas; however, access to these areas may be accommodated with an
appropriate authorization from the designated using agency. Aircraft
operating under exclusions approved by the Administrator are required
to contact the designating using agency for appropriate authorization
to enter a TFR. ATC will retain the ability to manage aircraft through
the TFR areas in accordance with normal traffic flows.
Operating restrictions within the airspace overlying competition
venues are established for the period from three hours before to three
hours after each event. The additional time that the restrictions are
imposed, before and after each event, will accommodate the observation
and planning of ground traffic movement as well as facilitate the
orderly movement of aircraft in and through the airspace above each
event. Flight operations will be restricted within the airspace from
the surface to approximately 2500 feet above the ground (AGL) to
provide a safe environment.
These TFR areas generally will be circular areas of 1 to 4 NM in
radius from the surface to approximately 2,500 AGL. Aircraft operations
through, into, or out of these TFR areas will not be allowed during the
effective dates and times unless specifically authorized by the
designated using agency or ATC.
The locations, dimensions, effective times of the TFR area will be
published for use by all pilots on air navigation charts and in the
Federal Register with specific details disseminated by NOTAM. Requests
for access to the airspace areas can be obtained by contacting the
using agency for the particular venue as designated via NOTAM.
Certain Olympic venues fall within Class B surface area;
specifically, RFK Stadium in Washington, DC, Wolf Creek Skeet Range in
Atlanta, GA, and The Orange Bowl in Miami, Fl. These venues will be
charted along with those outside of Class B airspace to ensure
consistency.
Exceptions
This SFAR contains provisions to provide flexible and efficient
management and control of air tariff, such as the authority to give
priority to or exclude from certain requirements of the special
regulation, flight operations dealing with or containing essential
military, medical emergency, rescue, law enforcement, public health and
welfare, Presidential, Olympic family, and heads of state. However,
regardless of any exclusion of a requirement of this SFAR, the
requirement to contact the designated using agency for access to a TFR
is mandatory.
Discussion of Comments
The proposed Airspace and Flight Operations requirements for the
1996 Summer Olympic Games were published in a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) on December 29, 1995 (60 FR 67506).
The FAA received seven written comments in reference to the NPRM.
Responding to the notice were the Aircraft Owners and Pilots
Association (AOPA), Federal Express (FedEx), Delta Air Lines, Air
France, Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS), National Air Carrier
Association, Inc. (NACA), and Georgia Emergency Management Agency
(GEMA). AOPA commented that it does not oppose the establishment of
TFRs and reservation requirements outlined in the NPRM. Several
commenters supported the NPRM in concept and acknowledged that the slot
reservations, as proposed, were essential.
The following is representative of the issues presented to the
docket: FedEx believes that the imposition of regulatory barriers would
impede its ability to conduct special, non-scheduled air cargo
operations into and out of Atlanta, GA. FedEx also expressed concern
that the slot reservation program would adversely impact its ability to
service the Atlanta area. As a result, FedEx recommends that scheduled
cargo service operations be exempted from the slot reservation program.
The FAA is unclear of FedEx's definition of `special non-scheduled'
operation. The final rule specifies that Scheduled cargo operations,
such as those conducted by FedEx, are exempt from the slot reservation
program. The definition of a Scheduled operation includes domestic
cargo operations that are routine consistent operations operated same
time, day and number of days per week. Non-scheduled operations have
the opportunity to request a slot beginning May 15 through June 30,
1996, via Internet address or facsimile number or by telephone on July
14, 1996. However, any operation not published in the OAG as of June
30, 1996, and not operated in a routine consistent manner would
constitute an operation under the Other category and would still
require a slot reservation. Operations are restricted under this SFAR
for the period July 17 through August 6, 1996.
Delta Air Lines commented that since Atlanta is a primary hub for
Delta, it is necessary that the following activities be conducted
without meeting the slot reservation requirement: (1) pilot training
conducted during Olympic off peak hours, (2) ferry flights into or out
of Atlanta to meet contractual obligations, (3) unanticipated routine
mechanical diversions, and (4) unanticipated aircraft diversions due to
weather. Delta stated that these operations may result in an additional
5 to 10 flights per day. Also, Delta commented that an additional 5 to
10 commercial flights per day may be needed to accommodate Olympic
traffic.
The FAA has determined that flights conducted during off peak hours
will have minimal problems operating within their preferred time;
however, reservations will be required. For those unscheduled flights
during peak Olympic hours, the FAA contends that slot reservations
remain necessary for these operations to provide for the safe operation
and management of aircraft operating to, within, and from these areas,
and to prevent any unsafe
[[Page 5494]]
congestion in the Atlanta area. Therefore, Delta's above-described
activities will not be exempted from the requirements of this SFAR.
Air France recognizes and supports the FAA's concern for the safety
of operations during the Olympic games. However, Air France and SAS
suggest that the language in the SFAR clarify the slot reservation
requirements for Scheduled and Non-scheduled international operations.
Air France suggested the establishment of a procedure that will allow
carriers such as Air France to request a slot at least 120 days in
advance of scheduled arrival or departure and allow for a trade of
slots (one for one) but that the slots not be bought or sold.
The FAA agrees with their request for clarification on the slot
reservation requirements and has defined Scheduled, Non-scheduled, and
Other operations in the rule. Furthermore, the rule specifies the
procedures for Non-scheduled operations to request a slot reservation
beginning May 15 through June 30, 1996, via Internet address or
facsimile number. The telephone slot reservation system will be
available to all operators starting July 14, 1996.
The FAA disagrees with the request by Air France to allow 120 days
in advance to request a slot reservation. The FAA contends that the 60
days advance provision is adequate for Non-scheduled operations.
The FAA agrees with Air France's request to trade slots on a (one-
for-one basis) and that slots should not be bought or sold. The FAA
provides further clarification by restricting the trade of slots only
within the same company or air carrier.
NACA agrees that the slot reservation system is essential; however,
it is concerned that all operations have equal access to slots and that
those Scheduled operations not included in the OAG are not considered
Scheduled for the purpose of this SFAR. NACA suggested that the
submitted schedule for Miami Air International be included in the OAG
information.
The FAA has defined Scheduled operations to include those
operations published in the OAG as of June 30, 1996, and/or routine
consistent operations operated same time, day and number of days per
week. Miami Air International will be treated on an equal and
consistent basis as any other Non-scheduled operator. Miami Air
International's schedule information may be submitted beginning May 15,
1996, via Internet address or facsimile number. The FAA is unable to
incorporate that schedule information under this SFAR rulemaking.
GEMA objected to the proposed broad scope of exclusions to the SFAR
that may be granted at the discretion of the Administrator listed in
the amendatory section, section A.3(b) (1)-(8). GEMA commented that
aircraft operating under an exemption of this SFAR could enter and exit
the TFRs without any communication or coordination with the using
agency. It stated that unidentified aircraft operating within the
designated TFR area would present a major security problem. GEMA
suggested exemptions not be granted under this paragraph.
The FAA does not concur with GEMA's recommendation to disallow
exclusion authority in this SFAR. The FAA believes that the exclusion
authority is necessary for unusual situations and that it is imperative
to have that authority in the interest of aviation safety. For
additional clarification, the rule states that aircraft granted an
exclusion to this SFAR are not relieved of the responsibility to
contact the designated using agency for authorization prior to entering
a TFR.
In addition, GEMA recommended that VFR slot reservations not apply
to public safety aircraft. It stated that many public safety flights
are conducted in response to emergency situations for which there can
be no prior coordination. The FAA responds that aircraft operating in
an emergency capacity will be given priority handling and will not be
required to obtain a slot reservation. An emergency operation would be
handled the same as in today's air traffic environment.
Obtaining U.S. Air Navigation Charts
The following provides information on how to obtain the special air
navigation charts for the Olympic Games as well as other air navigation
charts for use in the U.S.
The National Ocean Service (NOS) publishes and distributes
aeronautical charts of the U.S. National airspace system (NAS). Charts
are readily available through a network of sales agents located at and
near principal civil airports. Because of the large variety, all NOS
products may not be available locally; users can procure these products
directly from NOS. Chart prices, subscription rates, and catalogs of
related publications are available on request and are obtainable by
writing to: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National
Ocean Service, Distribution Branch, N/CG33, Riverdale, Maryland 20737,
USA, Phone (301) 436-6990--General Information: (301) 436-6993,
Subscription Only: (301) 436-8194--One Time Sales Only.
NOS products will be shipped via United Parcel Service, First Class
Mail, or priority package within the U.S. For foreign surface shipment
to addresses in other countries, please add 5 percent to the total cost
of order. Please write to NOS for a transportation cost quotation if
faster foreign delivery is required. All mail order purchases must be
accompanied by check or money order made payable to ``NOS, Department
of Commerce, N/CG33''. Remittance must be made in U.S. funds; i.e., by
check payable on a U.S. bank, or by international money order. Returned
checks will result in cancellation of orders.
Chart sales offices are maintained at the following locations:
National Ocean Service, Chart Sales & Control Data Office, 701 C
Street, Anchorage, Alaska 99513, USA
National Ocean Service, Chart Sales Office, 6501 Lafaytte Avenue,
Riverdale, Maryland 20737, USA
Pacific Marine Center, National Ocean Service, 1801 Fairview Avenue
East, Seattle, Washington 98102, USA
Atlantic Marine Center, National Ocean Service, 439 West York Street,
Norfolk, Virginia 23510, USA.
Chart prices are subject to recomputation, based on cost of
production, in accordance with Federal law. Price changes, when
required, will be published 60 days in advance of the effective date.
The first of 13 charts that will show some of the Olympic TFR's
will be published beginning with an effective date of February 1, 1996.
Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) Information
ATC and air traffic flow management systems will monitor and assess
the air traffic demand so that restrictions are kept to an essential
minimum. To assure maximum flexibility, NOTAMs will be issued to
announce all restrictions and other actions including the lifting of
any restrictions taken by the FAA in response to changing airport and
air traffic conditions.
Time-critical aeronautical information that is of a temporary
nature or is not sufficiently known in advance to permit publication on
aeronautical charts or in other operational publications, receives
immediate dissemination via the National NOTAM system. All domestic
operators planning flight to the Olympics need to pay particular
attention to NOTAM D and Flight Data Center (FDC) NOTAM information.
NOTAM D information could affect a pilot's decision to make a flight.
NOTAM D pertains to information on
[[Page 5495]]
airports, runways, navigational aids, radar services, and other
information essential to flight. An FDC NOTAM will contain information
which is regulatory in nature, such as amendments to aeronautical
charts and restrictions to flight. FDC NOTAM and NOTAM D information
will also be provided to international operators in the form of
International NOTAMs. NOTAMs are distributed through the National
Communications Center in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, for transmission
to all air traffic facilities having telecommunications access.
Pilots and operators should consult the biweekly Notices to Airmen
Domestic/International publication. This publication contains the NOTAM
FDC and D NOTAMs. Special information, including graphics, will be
published in the biweekly publication several weeks in advance of the
Olympics. In addition, a booklet will be published detailing
information about the different venues. Distribution will be the same
as for the biweekly publication. For more detailed information
concerning the NOTAM system, refer to the Aeronautical Information
Manual, ``Preflight'' Section.
Other U.S. Laws and Regulations
Aircraft operators should clearly understand that the SFAR is in
addition to other laws and regulations of the U.S. The SFAR will not
waive or supersede any U.S. law or obligation. When operating within
the jurisdictional limits of the U.S., operators of foreign aircraft
must conform with all applicable requirements of U.S. Federal, State,
and local governments. In particular, aircraft operators planning
flights into the U.S. must be aware of and conform to the rules and
regulations established by the:
1. U.S. Civil Aeronautics Board regarding flights entering the
U.S.;
2. U.S. Customs Service, Immigration and other authorities
regarding customs, immigrations, health, firearms, and imports/exports;
3. U.S. FAA regarding flight in or into U.S. airspace. This
includes compliance with Federal Aviation Regulations regarding
operations into or within the U.S. through air defense identification
zones, and compliance with general flight rules; and
4. Airport management authorities regarding use of airports and
airport facilities.
Environmental Effects
This rule establishes TFR areas for safety and security purposes
and will curtail or limit certain aircraft operations within designated
areas at defined dates and times, rather than require aircraft to be
operated along specified routings or in accordance with specific
procedures. Additionally, this regulation will be temporary in nature
and effective only for the dates and times necessary to provide for the
safety and protection of participants and spectators on the ground, as
well as law enforcement and security personnel operating in the air at
Olympic game venues. ATC will retain the ability to direct aircraft
through the restricted areas in accordance with normal traffic flows.
The FAA believes, therefore, that the establishment of temporary flight
restriction areas will have minimal impact on ATC routings or
procedures.
Further, this action will result in a reduction in aircraft
activity in the vicinity of the Olympic games by restricting aircraft
operations. Therefore, there will be fewer aircraft operations in the
vicinity of the Olympic games than will have occurred if the restricted
areas were not in place and noise levels associated with that greater
aircraft activity will also be reduced. Additionally, aircraft avoiding
the restricted areas will not be routed over any specific area. This
rule will, therefore, not result in any long-term action which will
routinely route aircraft over noise-sensitive areas. For the reasons
stated above, the FAA concludes that this rule will not significantly
affect the quality of the human environment.
International Civil Aviation Organization and Joint Aviation
Regulations
In keeping with U.S. obligations under the Convention on
International Civil Aviation, it is FAA policy to comply with
International Civil Aviation organization Standards and Recommended
Practices (SARP) to the maximum extent practicable.
Paperwork Reduction Act
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L.
104-13), the small amount of paper burden associated with the rule will
be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review.
Regulatory Evaluation
This regulatory evaluation examines the costs and benefits of the
SFAR applicable for the period July 19 through August 4, 1996, the SFAR
establishes TFR's overlying the various competition venues for the 1996
Olympic games. This rule requires slot reservations for arrivals and
departures at specified airports in the vicinity of the Olympics. Since
the impacts of the changes are relatively minor this economic summary
constitutes the analysis and no regulatory evaluation will be placed in
the docket.
Costs and Benefits
There are two major areas where economic impacts are likely: Slot
Reservation System and Temporary Flight Restrictions.
A. Slot Reservation System
During the Olympic period, the FAA must assure the continued safe
and efficient use of airspace over the affected areas. To achieve this
objective while minimizing disruption to the air traveling public, the
FAA will establish an arrival and departure slot reservation system to
manage air traffic into and out of airports serving the Olympic Games.
As a result of the slot reservation system some flights may be
canceled and others rerouted. The cost of the cancellations will be the
value of the flights to airlines and passengers less aircraft operating
cost to conduct the flights. Other flights may be diverted to other
airports in the Olympic Games area. Diversions will result in
additional costs of trips to and from places of intended lodging and
possible extra aircraft operation costs. The major economic impact in
the case of a diversion will be an inconvenience to operators who may
have wanted to land at a given airport. Because such occurrences are of
limited duration, the FAA believes that costs associated with any
diversions from one airport to another in the affected area will
probably be minimal. The additional FAA administrative workload
generated by the rule will be absorbed by current personnel and
equipment resources. The slot provision will not require any additional
air traffic controllers nor additional radar control equipment.
The benefits of the slot reservation system will be better control
of the airspace over Atlanta and other areas affected by the Olympics.
Arrivals are expected to increase 25 percent during the 3 weeks of the
Olympic season. There will be an increased risk of accidents due to
this unprecedented congestion in the Atlanta area if greater controls
are not implemented. There is also the potential benefit of reduced
delay times for operators attempting to land in the Atlanta area. The
slot provision will assure that the FAA will have sufficient capacity
to handle the many possible extra flights carrying spectators,
athletes, media personnel, and dignitaries during the Olympic period
without unnecessary delay.
[[Page 5496]]
B. Temporary Flight Restriction Areas
Due to the substantial increase in aircraft operations that are
expected in the Atlanta area as well as other sites, the FAA will
establish TFR areas over the Olympic village and competition sites. The
establishment of TFR's over competition venues will result in the
restriction of aircraft operations from the surface to 2500 feet.
The major economic impact of circumnavigation in this case will be
an inconvenience to operators who may have wanted to operate within the
area of the TFR. Because such occurrences are of limited duration and
the restricted areas are limited in size, the FAA believes that any
circumnavigation cots will be negligible. An aircraft operator could
avoid the restricted airspace by flying over it without significantly
deviating from their current routes or by circumnavigating the
restricted airspace.
The benefits of the TFR airspace primarily will be enhanced safety
to the public. Enhanced safety will take the form of the reduced
possibility of fatalities and property damage as a result of a lowered
risk of accidents due to increased positive control of TFR airspace.
While benefits cannot be quantified, the FAA believes the benefits are
commensurate with the small costs attributed to the temporary
inconvenience of the flight restrictions for operators near the TFR.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Determination
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) ensures that
government regulations do not needlessly and disproportionately burden
small businesses. The RFA requires the FAA to review each rule that may
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
The FAA's criteria for a ``substantial number'' is a number that is
not less than 11 and that is more than one third of the small entities
subject to the rule. The small entities that could be potentially
affected by the implementation of the proposed rule are operators of
aircraft for hire owning nine or fewer aircraft. Because of the
negligible impact of this regulatory action, the FAA initially
determines that this proposed amendment would not have a significant
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Federalism Implications
The regulation set forth herein will not have substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, in
accordance with Executive Order 12612, it is determined that this
regulation will not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant
the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
International Trade Impact Assessment
This rule will not constitute a barrier to international trade,
including the export of U.S. goods and services to foreign countries
and the import of foreign goods and services to the United States. This
rule will not impose additional temporary costs to aircraft operators.
There should be no effect on U.S. or foreign aircraft manufacturers.
Therefore, the FAA has determined that the rule will neither have an
effect on the sale of foreign aviation products nor services in the
United States, nor will it have an effect on the sale of U.S. products
or services in foreign countries.
Conclusion
For the reasons discussed in the preamble, and based on the
findings in the Regulatory Flexibility Determination and the
International Trade Impact Assessment, the FAA has determined that this
regulation is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866. The FAA has determined that the rule will impose temporary
additional costs to the public. The magnitude of these costs, while
undetermined, are negligible. The benefits will be increased aviation
safety resulting from a lower risk of accidents due to increased
congestion during the Olympics. In addition, the FAA certifies that
this regulation will not have a significant economic impact, positive
or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. This regulation is not
considered significant under DOT Order 2100.5, Policies and Procedures
for Simplification, Analysis, and Review of Regulations. A Regulatory
Flexibility Determination and International Impact Assessment are set
out above. Because the economic impact of this rule is likely to be
minimal, no formal regulatory evaluation has been prepared.

B. Slot Reservation System
1. General Description
Slot reservations for arrivals and departures at specified
airports in the vicinity of the Olympic Games are required for the
period July 17 through August 6, 1996. The FAA believes this action
is necessary for the security of the venues, safe operation and
management of aircraft operating to, within, and from these areas,
and to prevent any unsafe congestion of sightseeing and other
aircraft over the various venues.
2. Definitions
For purposes of this SFAR the following definitions apply:
(a) Domestic air transportation (domestic)--the carriage by
aircraft of persons or property as a common carrier for compensation
or hire, or the carriage of mail by aircraft, in commerce
originating in the United States and commencing any place within the
United States.
(b) Foreign air transportation (foreign)--the carriage by
aircraft of persons or property as a common carrier for compensation
or hire, or carriage of mail by aircraft, in commerce between a
place in the United States and any place outside of the United
States.
(c) Scheduled operations--foreign and domestic air carrier and
cargo operations published in the Official Air Line Guide (OAG) as
of June 30, 1996, and/or routine consistent operations operated same
time, day and number of days per week as in regularly scheduled
cargo operations. This category also includes additional operations
by scheduled operators at the same airport if those operations are
listed in the OAG as of June 30, 1996.
(d) Non-scheduled operations--foreign and domestic charters and
cargo operations not published in the OAG as of June 30, 1996, and/
or not operated on a routine consistent basis during the same time,
day and number of days per week, excluding helicopters. This
category also includes additional operations by scheduled operators
at the same airport that are not listed in the OAG as of June 30,
1996.
(e) Other operations--all operations conducted by operators that
do not hold either an air carrier certificate or an operating
certificate for common carriage issued under SFAR 38-2 or part 119
of the Federal Aviation Regulations or any operations conducted
under part 129 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. These operations
exclude helicopters and include, but are not limited to, general
aviation and business operations conducted under part 91.
3. Method

C. Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) Areas
The FAA establishes TFR areas over the Olympic Village and
competition sites. The establishment of TFR areas over the
competition venues will result in the restriction of aircraft
operations in these areas; however, access to these areas may be
accommodated with an appropriate authorization from the designated
using agency. Aircraft operating under exclusions approved by the
Administrator are required to contact the designated using agency
for appropriate authority to enter a TFR. ATC will retain the
ability to manage aircraft through the TFR areas in accordance with
normal traffic flow.
Operating restrictions within the airspace overlying competition
venues are for the period from 3 hours before to 3 hours after each
event. The additional time that the restrictions are to be imposed,
before and after each event, will accommodate the observation and
planning of ground traffic movement as well as facilitate the
orderly movement of aircraft in and through the airspace above each
event. Flight operations will be restricted within the airspace from
the surface to approximately 2500 feet AGL to provide a safe
environment.
