O'Hare International Airport (ORD), New York's John F. Kennedy 
International Airport (JFK), and Newark Liberty International Airport

schedule submission deadline for the IATA Schedules Conference for the 
Summer 2012 scheduling season.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA has designated ORD as an IATA Level 
2 airport, JFK as a Level 3 airport, and EWR as a Level 3 airport. 
Scheduled operations at JFK and EWR are currently limited by FAA Orders 
until a final Congestion Management Rule for LaGuardia Airport, John F.

    The FAA is primarily concerned about planned passenger and cargo 
operations during peak hours, but carriers may submit schedule plans 
for the entire day. At ORD, the peak hours are 0700 to 2100 Central 
Time (1200-0200 UTC) and at EWR and JFK from 0600 to 2300 Eastern Time 
(1000-0300 UTC). Carriers should submit schedule information in 
sufficient detail including, at minimum, the operating carrier, flight 
number, scheduled time of operation, frequency, and effective dates. 
IATA standard schedule information format and data elements (Standard 
Schedules Information Manual) may be used.
    The U.S. summer scheduling season for these airports is from March 
25, 2012, through October 27, 2012, in recognition of the IATA 
scheduling season dates. The FAA understands there may be differences 
in schedule times due to different U.S. daylight saving time dates, and 
the FAA will accommodate these to the extent possible.

DATES: Schedules must be submitted no later than October 13, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Schedules may be submitted by mail to the Slot 
Administration Office, AGC-200, Office of the Chief Counsel, 800
