	Draft General Conformity Determination for Proposed Operations of Southwest Airlines Co. at Denver International Airport, Denver, CO FAA-2006-24508 On File at Federal Register April 26, 2006 Notice | As Published April 27, 2006 The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public that a Draft General Conformity Determination for Proposed Operations of Southwest Airlines Co. at Denver International Airport has been prepared. In accordance with Section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act, FAA has assessed whether the emissions that would result from FAA's action in approving the proposed operation specifications for Southwest's proposed operations at DEN conform with the Colorado State Implementation Plan. The FAA demonstrates that the total of the actual aircraft operations plus the proposed aircraft operations and associated emissions for Southwest is below the SIP's forecasted values, and therefore emissions attributed to flights by Southwest are already accounted for in the SIP emissions inventories. The FAA believes, and State representatives confirmed, that the total net emissions associated with the Proposed Action (including the aircraft emissions) are reasonably accounted for in the SIP maintenance plans. As a result, the Proposed Action demonstrates a conformance to the existing and updated SIP maintenance plans for the DMA.

Kennedy International Airport for allocation under 14 CFR 93.217 is May 11, 2006. The FAA will allocate international slots through December 31, 2006 only, as the High Density Rule expires at JFK on December 31, 2006. After that date, slots will no longer be required for operation at JFK. The FAA has designated Chicago's O'Hare International Airport as a Level 2, Schedules Facilitated Airport under the IATA Guidelines and will review international operations based on runway parameters. The FAA requests carriers intending to conduct international service at O'Hare for the Winter 2006/07 Scheduling Season to submit their intended schedules following the same procedures used for submitting requests for slots at JFK. Carriers are advised that this notice does not alter or change any coordination procedures conducted by the City of Chicago for O'Hare's Terminal 5 facilities. Finally, the U.S. scheduling season is consistent with the changes in daylight savings time. In accordance with the Energy Policy Act of 2005, daylight savings time will begin on March 11, 2007 and end on November 3, 2007. The IATA Northern Winter Scheduling Season will end on March 24, 2007, and its Summer Scheduling Season will only begin on March 25, 2007. There is a two-week period for which the IATA Winter scheduling season will overlap with the U.S. summer scheduling season. By: James Whitlow Index
