This mandated information collection is reported to the FAA by carriers holding a slot at DCA, JFK or LGA; by carriers operating at EWR, LAX, ORD or SFO; and, by operators conducting unscheduled operations at DCA or LGA. The FAA logs, verifies, and processes the requests made by carriers. Reservations for unscheduled operations are recorded by an automated system to provide a confirmation to the operator of a reservation for an unscheduled flight and to maintain the FAA records of approvals and changes to reservations.
The FAA uses the information to allocate and withdraw slots at the three slot-controlled airports, confirm transfers of slots made among carriers, and determine operational demand at the airports. The FAA uses this information on a daily basis in order to maintain an accurate slot base. The FAA also uses this information in order to maintain an accurate accounting of operations to ensure compliance with the Rules and Orders in effect. Information at Level 2 schedule-facilitated airports is used to determine potential periods of congestion and delay before flight schedules are finalized. The FAA uses this information to provide recommendations for schedule adjustments that could reduce potential delays. The FAA also uses this information to help provide access to unscheduled operators seeking access to these airports.
