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: [email protected].

Office of the Chief Counsel, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 
Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone number: 202-
267-3073.

    Issued in Washington, DC on September 12th 2007.
James W. Whitlow,
Deputy Chief Counsel.
