ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be

and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronda Thompson, (202) 267-1416, or by 
email at: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) 
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of 
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include 
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-xxxx.
    Title: Air Traffic Slots Management.
    Form Numbers: No FAA forms associated with this collection.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published under 2120-0524 on October 13, 2016 (81 FR 70736). There 
were no comments. The FAA has implemented several initiatives to 
address congestion and delay issues within the National Airspace 
System. The FAA has issued Orders limiting operations at John F. 
Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Newark Liberty International 
Airport (EWR), and LaGuardia Airport (LGA). These Orders resulted in 
part from increasing congestion and delays at the airports requiring 
the FAA to allocate arrival and departure slots at JFK, EWR, and LGA. 
On April 6, 2016, the FAA announced a reduction in slot controls at EWR 
and designation of EWR as a Level 2, schedule-facilitated airport under 
the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Worldwide Slot 
Guidelines (WSG) based on an updated demand and capacity analysis of 
the airport. This change was effective from the Winter 2016 scheduling 
season, which began on October 30, 2016. The FAA also has designated 
O'Hare International Airport (ORD), San Francisco International Airport 
(SFO), and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) as Level 2 airports 
under the IATA WSG. These Level 2 designations resulted in part from 
increasing congestion and delays at the airports requiring FAA to 
implement a voluntary process to manage operational growth at ORD and 
SFO. The Level 2 designation was made at LAX due to a long-term 
construction project expected to reduce runway capacity; therefore, the 
designation is not expected to continue beyond the completion of the 
planned construction at LAX. The information is reported to the FAA by 
carriers holding a slot at JFK or LGA; by carriers operating at EWR, 
LAX, ORD, or SFO; and by operators conducting unscheduled operations at 
LGA. At JFK, carriers must notify the FAA of: (1) Requests for 
confirmation of transferred slots; (2) requests for seasonal allocation 
of historic and additional available slots; and (3) usage of slots on a 
seasonal basis. At LGA, carriers must notify the FAA of: (1) Requests 
for confirmation of transferred slots; (2) slots required to be 
returned or slots voluntarily returned; (3) requests to be included in 
a lottery for available slots; and (4) usage of slots on a bi-monthly 
basis. At LGA, unscheduled operators must request and obtain a 
reservation from the FAA prior to conducting an operation. At EWR, LAX, 
ORD and SFO, carriers are asked to notify the FAA of their intended 
operating schedules during peak hours on a semiannual basis. The FAA 
estimates that all information from carriers is submitted 
electronically from information stored in carrier scheduling databases, 
and that nearly all requests for unscheduled operation reservations are 
submitted electronically through either an internet or touch-tone 
system interface.
    Respondents: 200 carriers at various airports; unknown number of 
unscheduled operators at LaGuardia Airport.
    Frequency: Information is collected as needed; some reporting on 
bimonthly or semiannual basis.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 2 minutes per unscheduled 
operation reservation; 6 minutes per notice of slot transfer; 2 hour 
per schedule submission or slot request; and 2 hours per slot usage 
report.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 5,049.5 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on June 28, 2017.
