SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA has designated LAX, ORD, and SFO as 
IATA Level 2 airports and JFK and EWR as IATA Level 3 airports. The FAA

    The FAA is primarily concerned about planned passenger and cargo 
operations and other regularly conducted commercial 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 (1300 to 0300 
UTC), at LAX and SFO from 0600 to 2300 Pacific Time (1400 to 0700 UTC), 
and at EWR and JFK from 0600 to 2300 Eastern Time (1100 to 0400 UTC). 
Carriers should submit schedule information in sufficient detail 
including, at a 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 or SSIM) may be used.
    The U.S. winter scheduling season for these airports is from 
October 25, 2015, through March 26, 2016, in recognition of the IATA 
northern winter period. The FAA understands there may be differences in 
slot times due to different U.S. daylight saving time dates and will 
accommodate these differences to the extent possible.
    At LAX, there will be runway construction during the winter 
scheduling season. The FAA is reviewing the potential changes to the 
runway capacity and other operational impacts of the construction 
projects.

DATES: Schedules must be submitted no later than May 21, 2015.

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