§41715 Phase-out of Slot Rules at Certain Airports

Summary

Rules in subparts S and K of part 93 stop applying at Chicago O’Hare after July 1, 2002, and at LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy after January 1, 2007. This does not change the FAA’s safety authority or its control of air traffic, nor the Secretary of Transportation’s power to grant exemptions under section 41714. Before awarding slot exemptions under sections 41714 and 41716–41718, the Secretary may consider whether a carrier’s proposal gives the most benefit to the United States economy, including how many jobs in the United States it creates, and should give equal weight to benefits for consumers. That consideration does not apply if the carrier will use an aircraft type with no competing United States manufacturer.
