This action announces the placement in the docket of a response to requests for clarification of the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published on January 8, 2015. In the NPRM, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the FAA proposed to replace the Orders limiting scheduled operations at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and limiting scheduled and unscheduled operations at LaGuardia Airport (LGA). The Orders are scheduled to expire when the rulemaking is final and in effect, but not later than October 29, 2016. The proposed rule is intended to provide a longer-term and comprehensive approach to slot management at JFK, EWR, and LGA. By letters posted to the public docket, Airlines for America and Sabre Corporation submitted questions regarding various provisions in the NPRM they believe need further clarification before meaningful comments can be submitted to the docket. The DOT and the FAA have reviewed these requests and a coordinated response has been placed in the docket. That document also responds to Airlines for America's renewed request for an extension of the comment period and request for a public meeting.

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

SUMMARY: This action announces the placement in the docket of a 
response to requests for clarification of the notice of proposed 
rulemaking (NPRM) published on January 8, 2015. In the NPRM, the U.S. 
Department of Transportation (DOT) and the FAA proposed to replace the 
Orders limiting scheduled operations at John F. Kennedy International 
Airport (JFK) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and 
limiting scheduled and unscheduled operations at LaGuardia Airport 
(LGA). The Orders are scheduled to expire when the rulemaking is final 
and in effect, but not later than October 29, 2016. The proposed rule 
is intended to provide a longer-term and comprehensive approach to slot 
management at JFK, EWR, and LGA.
    By letters posted to the public docket, Airlines for America and 
Sabre Corporation submitted questions regarding various provisions in 
the NPRM they believe need further clarification before meaningful 
comments can be submitted to the docket. The DOT and the FAA have 
reviewed these requests and a coordinated response has been placed in 
the docket. That document also responds to Airlines for America's 
renewed request for an extension of the comment period and request for 
a public meeting.
