Notice of Submission Deadlines for Schedule Information for John 
F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International 
Airport for the Winter 2008/2009 Scheduling Season

AGENCY: Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration 
(FAA).

ACTION: Notice of submission deadline.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under this notice, the FAA announces May 15, 2008, as the 
deadline for submitting schedule information for John F. Kennedy 
International Airport (JFK) and Newark Liberty International Airport 
(EWR) for the Winter 2008/2009 scheduling season. The FAA previously 
designated the airports as Level 3, Coordinated Airports under the 
International Air Transport Association (IATA) Worldwide Scheduling 
Guidelines. The FAA deadline coincides with the submission deadline 
established by IATA for the Winter 2008/2009 Schedules Conference. The 
FAA requests schedule information for JFK and EWR for planned flights 
from 6 a.m. through 10:59 p.m., Eastern Time, or 1100 UTC through 0359 
UTC.

DATES: Schedules must be submitted no later than May 15, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA adopted an Order limiting scheduled 
operations at JFK effective March 30, 2008.\1\ The FAA also has 
proposed operating limitation at EWR beginning June 1, 2008,\2\ 
although a final order has not yet been adopted by the FAA. As noted 
above, however, the FAA has already designated both EWR and JFK to be 
IATA Level 3, Coordinated Airports, and schedule information for the 
winter season should be submitted by the deadline.

    \1\ 73 FR 3,510 (Jan. 18, 2008). The FAA published a technical 
amendment in the Federal Register on February 14, 2008, 73 FR 8,737.
    \2\ 73 FR 14,552 (Mar. 18, 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA's adopted Order for JFK and the proposed Order for EWR 
contemplate the allocation of new capacity by an auction. The details 
of an auction are under development and are not expected to be in place 
prior to the beginning of the winter scheduling season. As noted in the 
proposed and adopted orders, any Operating Authorizations for winter 
2008/2009 beyond historic levels or the level approved by the FAA in 
the orders' appendices would be assigned without historical precedence 
for the following scheduling season.
    The FAA is requesting complete schedule submissions from carriers 
that detail changes from their currently approved schedules. This 
information may include flight numbers, airport origin and departure 
information, proposed arrival and departure times, frequency, equipment 
type, effective dates, type of flight (passenger, cargo, charter, etc.) 
and other relevant information. Carriers may also indicate there are no 
changes from the approved summer schedules. The FAA expects only a 
limited number of Operating Authorizations will be available for the 
winter scheduling season for new operations or retimed flights during 
peak hours.

ADDRESSES: Schedules 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
