Operating Limitations on the Use of Navigable Airspace

The DOT and FAA are collecting this information for safety purposes. This required/mandatory data allows the FAA to ensure the rate reduction is achieved to alleviate stressors on the air traffic control system. In addition, the data allows the DOT and FAA to know which travelers and communities are impacted by the reductions. Based upon those impacts, the FAA may reject or direct modifications to such reductions to prevent unacceptable disproportionate impacts to flight availability including regional routes and Essential Air Service and to ensure even distribution of reductions throughout the day at each airport.
