    SUMMARY: This Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR), applicable 
    May 15, 1996, through August 11, 1996, establishes airspace and flight 
    operations requirements for the XXVI Olympic Games. The FAA believes 
    this regulation is necessary for the security of the venues, safe 
    operation, and management of aircraft operating to, within, and from 
    these areas, and to prevent any unsafe congestion of sightseeing and 
    other aircraft over the various game sites.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: March 13, 1996.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    
    Background
    
        The 1996 Olympic Games will be held from July 19 through August 4, 
    1996, primarily in the Atlanta, Georgia, area and will mark the 100th 
    anniversary of the modern Olympic Games. The event is the largest 
    single, peace-time event in the history of the world. Over 350,000 
    visitors a day are expected to attend the games. In terms of air 
    traffic demand, the pregame, game, and postgame activities from July 19 
    through August 4 are expected to generate substantial increases in 
    aircraft operations in the Atlanta area as well as other sites in the 
    United States. Those sites are:
    
    The Olympic Village--Atlanta, GA
    The Olympic Ring--Atlanta, GA
    Wolf Creek Skeet Range--Atlanta, GA
    Atlanta Beach--Jonesboro, GA
    International Horsepark--Covington, GA
    Stone Mountain Park--Stone Mountain, GA
    Lake Sidney Lanier--Gainesville, GA
    Sanford Stadium--Athens, GA
    Golden Park--Columbus, GA
    Lee College--Cleveland, TN
    U.S. Highway 64--Tennessee
    Ocoee River--Tennessee
    Legion Field--Birmingham, AL
    The Olympic Village--Savannah, GA
    Sail Harbor and Wilmington River Transit Zone--Savannah, GA
    Sailing Venue--Savannah, GA
    The Citrus Bowl--Orlando, FL
    The Orange Bowl--Miami, FL
    RFK Stadium--Washington, DC
    The Olympic Village--Davie, FL
    The Olympic Village--Columbus, GA
    
    The Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR)
    
        This rule establishes an SFAR to provide for the security of 
    persons and property in the air and on the ground, and for the safe and 
    efficient movement of air traffic during the Olympic period. To 
    accomplish this goal, the SFAR is designed for flexibility and 
    adaptability.
    
    Traffic Management Arrival/Departure Slot Reservation System
    
        During the busy Olympic period, the FAA must ensure continued safe 
    and efficient use of airspace and air traffic control capacity. To 
    achieve this objective while minimizing disruption to the air traveling 
    public, the FAA establishes an arrival/departure slot reservation 
    system for fixed-wing aircraft to manage air traffic into and out of 
    key airports in the Atlanta area.
        For purposes of this SFAR the following definitions apply: (1) 
    Domestic air transportation (domestic)--the carriage by aircraft of 
    persons or property as a common carrier for compensation or hire, or 
    the carriage of mail by aircraft, in commerce originating in the United 
    States and commencing any place within the United States. (2) Foreign 
    air transportation (foreign)--the carriage by aircraft of persons or 
    property as a common carrier for compensation or hire, or carriage of 
    mail by aircraft, in commerce between a place in the United States and 
    any place outside of the United States. (3) Scheduled operations--
    foreign and domestic air carrier and cargo operations published in the 
    Official Air Line Guide (OAG) as of June 30, 1996, and/or routine 
    consistent operations operated same time, day and number of days per 
    week as in regularly scheduled cargo operations. This category also 
    includes additional operations by scheduled operators at the same 
    airport if those operations are listed in the OAG as of June 30, 1996. 
    (4) Non-scheduled operations--foreign and domestic charters and cargo 
    operations not published in the OAG as of June 30, 1996, and/or not 
    operated on a routine consistent basis during the same time, day and 
    number of days per week, excluding helicopters. This category also 
    includes additional operations by scheduled operators at the same 
    airport that are not listed in the OAG as of June 30, 1996. (5) Other 
    operations--all operations conducted by operators that do not hold 
    either an air carrier certificate or an operating certificate for 
    common carriage issued under SFAR 38-2 or Part 119 of the Federal 
    Aviation Regulations or any operations conducted under Part 129 of the 
    Federal Aviation Regulations. These operations exclude helicopters and 
    include, but are not limited to, general aviation and business 
    operations conducted under Part 91.
        The slot reservation system will be applicable to visual flight 
    rules (VFR) arrivals at four specified airports, VFR departures at four 
    specified airports, and to non-scheduled instrument flight rules (IFR) 
    operations at 11 specified airports. As with most special events, 
    airborne holding will not be authorized in lieu of a ground delay. 
    Thus, aircraft without reservations may anticipate lengthy delays at 
    departure airports.
        VFR arrival slot reservations are required for: Cobb County-
    McCollum Field Airport (RYY), Marietta, GA; DeKalb-Peachtree Airport 
    (PDK), Atlanta, GA; Fulton County-Brown Field Airport (FTY), Atlanta, 
    GA; and Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport (LZU), Lawrenceville, GA.
        VFR departure slot reservations are required for: Cobb County 
    Airport-McCollum Field (RYY), Marietta, GA; DeKalb-Peachtree Airport 
    (PDK), Atlanta, GA; Fulton County-Brown Field Airport (FTY), Atlanta, 
    GA; and Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport (LZU), Lawrenceville, GA.
        Non-scheduled IFR slot reservations are required for: Clayton 
    County-Tara Field Airport (4A7), Hampton, GA; Cobb County-McCollum 
    Field Airport (RYY), Marietta, GA; Covington Municipal Airport (9A1), 
    Covington, GA; DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK), Atlanta, GA; Ben Epps 
    Field Airport (AHN), Athens, GA; Peachtree City-Falcon Field Airport 
    (FFC), Peachtree City, GA; Fulton County Airport-Brown Field Airport 
    (FTY), Atlanta; GA; Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport (GVL), Gainesville, GA; 
    Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport (LZU), Lawrenceville, GA; the 
    William B. Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Atlanta, GA; 
    and Richard B. Russell Airport (RMG), Rome, GA.
        Beginning May 15, 1996, through June 30, 1996, non-scheduled 
    operators may submit their request for slot reservations for the 
    affected airports via Internet 
    
    [[Page 5493]]
    address [atcslots@mail.hq.faa.gov] or facsimile number [(770) 946-
    7938]. Request confirmations will be provided within 72 hours of 
    receipt via the form of request. From the period July 1 through July 
    13, 1996, the FAA will not receive any requests. However, beginning 
    July 14, 1996, 7:00 a.m. (EDT), all operators can reserve VFR arrival 
    and departure or IFR arrival and departure slots at these airports by 
    calling 1-800-96FAA96 (1-800-963-2296), 24 hours a day. Reservation 
    slots may be reserved no sooner than 72 hours before your estimated 
    time of arrival or departure.
        The following information must be provided for all requests 
    (reservation requests beginning May 15 through June 30, 1996, via 
    Internet address or facsmile number, and via the telephone number as of 
    July 14, 1996): Arrival Reservations: destination airport, estimated 
    time of arrival, call sign, direction of arrival to the Atlanta area 
    and type aircraft; Departure Reservations: departure airport, estimated 
    time of departure, call sign, destination airport, first fix after 
    departure and type aircraft; and Confirmation Method: operator's 
    Internet address or facsimile number for return confirmation for 
    arrival and departure reservations for those reservations processed 
    prior to July 1, 1996.
    
    Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) Areas
    
        The FAA establishes TFR areas over the Olympic Villages and 
    competition sites. The establishment of TFR areas over the competition 
    venues would result in the restriction of aircraft operations in these 
    areas; however, access to these areas may be accommodated with an 
    appropriate authorization from the designated using agency. Aircraft 
    operating under exclusions approved by the Administrator are required 
    to contact the designating using agency for appropriate authorization 
    to enter a TFR. ATC will retain the ability to manage aircraft through 
    the TFR areas in accordance with normal traffic flows.
        Operating restrictions within the airspace overlying competition 
    venues are established for the period from three hours before to three 
    hours after each event. The additional time that the restrictions are 
    imposed, before and after each event, will accommodate the observation 
    and planning of ground traffic movement as well as facilitate the 
    orderly movement of aircraft in and through the airspace above each 
    event. Flight operations will be restricted within the airspace from 
    the surface to approximately 2500 feet above the ground (AGL) to 
    provide a safe environment.
        These TFR areas generally will be circular areas of 1 to 4 NM in 
    radius from the surface to approximately 2,500 AGL. Aircraft operations 
    through, into, or out of these TFR areas will not be allowed during the 
    effective dates and times unless specifically authorized by the 
    designated using agency or ATC.
        The locations, dimensions, effective times of the TFR area will be 
    published for use by all pilots on air navigation charts and in the 
    Federal Register with specific details disseminated by NOTAM. Requests 
    for access to the airspace areas can be obtained by contacting the 
    using agency for the particular venue as designated via NOTAM.
        Certain Olympic venues fall within Class B surface area; 
    specifically, RFK Stadium in Washington, DC, Wolf Creek Skeet Range in 
    Atlanta, GA, and The Orange Bowl in Miami, Fl. These venues will be 
    charted along with those outside of Class B airspace to ensure 
    consistency.
    
    Exceptions
    
        This SFAR contains provisions to provide flexible and efficient 
    management and control of air tariff, such as the authority to give 
    priority to or exclude from certain requirements of the special 
    regulation, flight operations dealing with or containing essential 
    military, medical emergency, rescue, law enforcement, public health and 
    welfare, Presidential, Olympic family, and heads of state. However, 
    regardless of any exclusion of a requirement of this SFAR, the 
    requirement to contact the designated using agency for access to a TFR 
    is mandatory.
    
    Discussion of Comments
    
        The proposed Airspace and Flight Operations requirements for the 
    1996 Summer Olympic Games were published in a notice of proposed 
    rulemaking (NPRM) on December 29, 1995 (60 FR 67506).
        The FAA received seven written comments in reference to the NPRM. 
    Responding to the notice were the Aircraft Owners and Pilots 
    Association (AOPA), Federal Express (FedEx), Delta Air Lines, Air 
    France, Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS), National Air Carrier 
    Association, Inc. (NACA), and Georgia Emergency Management Agency 
    (GEMA). AOPA commented that it does not oppose the establishment of 
    TFRs and reservation requirements outlined in the NPRM. Several 
    commenters supported the NPRM in concept and acknowledged that the slot 
    reservations, as proposed, were essential.
        The following is representative of the issues presented to the 
    docket: FedEx believes that the imposition of regulatory barriers would 
    impede its ability to conduct special, non-scheduled air cargo 
    operations into and out of Atlanta, GA. FedEx also expressed concern 
    that the slot reservation program would adversely impact its ability to 
    service the Atlanta area. As a result, FedEx recommends that scheduled 
    cargo service operations be exempted from the slot reservation program.
        The FAA is unclear of FedEx's definition of `special non-scheduled' 
    operation. The final rule specifies that Scheduled cargo operations, 
    such as those conducted by FedEx, are exempt from the slot reservation 
    program. The definition of a Scheduled operation includes domestic 
    cargo operations that are routine consistent operations operated same 
    time, day and number of days per week. Non-scheduled operations have 
    the opportunity to request a slot beginning May 15 through June 30, 
    1996, via Internet address or facsimile number or by telephone on July 
    14, 1996. However, any operation not published in the OAG as of June 
    30, 1996, and not operated in a routine consistent manner would 
    constitute an operation under the Other category and would still 
    require a slot reservation. Operations are restricted under this SFAR 
    for the period July 17 through August 6, 1996.
        Delta Air Lines commented that since Atlanta is a primary hub for 
    Delta, it is necessary that the following activities be conducted 
    without meeting the slot reservation requirement: (1) pilot training 
    conducted during Olympic off peak hours, (2) ferry flights into or out 
    of Atlanta to meet contractual obligations, (3) unanticipated routine 
    mechanical diversions, and (4) unanticipated aircraft diversions due to 
    weather. Delta stated that these operations may result in an additional 
    5 to 10 flights per day. Also, Delta commented that an additional 5 to 
    10 commercial flights per day may be needed to accommodate Olympic 
    traffic.
        The FAA has determined that flights conducted during off peak hours 
    will have minimal problems operating within their preferred time; 
    however, reservations will be required. For those unscheduled flights 
    during peak Olympic hours, the FAA contends that slot reservations 
    remain necessary for these operations to provide for the safe operation 
    and management of aircraft operating to, within, and from these areas, 
    and to prevent any unsafe 
    
    [[Page 5494]]
    congestion in the Atlanta area. Therefore, Delta's above-described 
    activities will not be exempted from the requirements of this SFAR.
        Air France recognizes and supports the FAA's concern for the safety 
    of operations during the Olympic games. However, Air France and SAS 
    suggest that the language in the SFAR clarify the slot reservation 
    requirements for Scheduled and Non-scheduled international operations. 
    Air France suggested the establishment of a procedure that will allow 
    carriers such as Air France to request a slot at least 120 days in 
    advance of scheduled arrival or departure and allow for a trade of 
    slots (one for one) but that the slots not be bought or sold.
        The FAA agrees with their request for clarification on the slot 
    reservation requirements and has defined Scheduled, Non-scheduled, and 
    Other operations in the rule. Furthermore, the rule specifies the 
    procedures for Non-scheduled operations to request a slot reservation 
    beginning May 15 through June 30, 1996, via Internet address or 
    facsimile number. The telephone slot reservation system will be 
    available to all operators starting July 14, 1996.
        The FAA disagrees with the request by Air France to allow 120 days 
    in advance to request a slot reservation. The FAA contends that the 60 
    days advance provision is adequate for Non-scheduled operations.
        The FAA agrees with Air France's request to trade slots on a (one-
    for-one basis) and that slots should not be bought or sold. The FAA 
    provides further clarification by restricting the trade of slots only 
    within the same company or air carrier.
        NACA agrees that the slot reservation system is essential; however, 
    it is concerned that all operations have equal access to slots and that 
    those Scheduled operations not included in the OAG are not considered 
    Scheduled for the purpose of this SFAR. NACA suggested that the 
    submitted schedule for Miami Air International be included in the OAG 
    information.
        The FAA has defined Scheduled operations to include those 
    operations published in the OAG as of June 30, 1996, and/or routine 
    consistent operations operated same time, day and number of days per 
    week. Miami Air International will be treated on an equal and 
    consistent basis as any other Non-scheduled operator. Miami Air 
    International's schedule information may be submitted beginning May 15, 
    1996, via Internet address or facsimile number. The FAA is unable to 
    incorporate that schedule information under this SFAR rulemaking.
        GEMA objected to the proposed broad scope of exclusions to the SFAR 
    that may be granted at the discretion of the Administrator listed in 
    the amendatory section, section A.3(b) (1)-(8). GEMA commented that 
    aircraft operating under an exemption of this SFAR could enter and exit 
    the TFRs without any communication or coordination with the using 
    agency. It stated that unidentified aircraft operating within the 
    designated TFR area would present a major security problem. GEMA 
    suggested exemptions not be granted under this paragraph.
        The FAA does not concur with GEMA's recommendation to disallow 
    exclusion authority in this SFAR. The FAA believes that the exclusion 
    authority is necessary for unusual situations and that it is imperative 
    to have that authority in the interest of aviation safety. For 
    additional clarification, the rule states that aircraft granted an 
    exclusion to this SFAR are not relieved of the responsibility to 
    contact the designated using agency for authorization prior to entering 
    a TFR.
        In addition, GEMA recommended that VFR slot reservations not apply 
    to public safety aircraft. It stated that many public safety flights 
    are conducted in response to emergency situations for which there can 
    be no prior coordination. The FAA responds that aircraft operating in 
    an emergency capacity will be given priority handling and will not be 
    required to obtain a slot reservation. An emergency operation would be 
    handled the same as in today's air traffic environment.
    
    Obtaining U.S. Air Navigation Charts
    
        The following provides information on how to obtain the special air 
    navigation charts for the Olympic Games as well as other air navigation 
    charts for use in the U.S.
        The National Ocean Service (NOS) publishes and distributes 
    aeronautical charts of the U.S. National airspace system (NAS). Charts 
    are readily available through a network of sales agents located at and 
    near principal civil airports. Because of the large variety, all NOS 
    products may not be available locally; users can procure these products 
    directly from NOS. Chart prices, subscription rates, and catalogs of 
    related publications are available on request and are obtainable by 
    writing to: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National 
    Ocean Service, Distribution Branch, N/CG33, Riverdale, Maryland 20737, 
    USA, Phone (301) 436-6990--General Information: (301) 436-6993, 
    Subscription Only: (301) 436-8194--One Time Sales Only.
        NOS products will be shipped via United Parcel Service, First Class 
    Mail, or priority package within the U.S. For foreign surface shipment 
    to addresses in other countries, please add 5 percent to the total cost 
    of order. Please write to NOS for a transportation cost quotation if 
    faster foreign delivery is required. All mail order purchases must be 
    accompanied by check or money order made payable to ``NOS, Department 
    of Commerce, N/CG33''. Remittance must be made in U.S. funds; i.e., by 
    check payable on a U.S. bank, or by international money order. Returned 
    checks will result in cancellation of orders.
        Chart sales offices are maintained at the following locations:
    
    National Ocean Service, Chart Sales & Control Data Office, 701 C 
    Street, Anchorage, Alaska 99513, USA
    National Ocean Service, Chart Sales Office, 6501 Lafaytte Avenue, 
    Riverdale, Maryland 20737, USA
    Pacific Marine Center, National Ocean Service, 1801 Fairview Avenue 
    East, Seattle, Washington 98102, USA
    Atlantic Marine Center, National Ocean Service, 439 West York Street, 
    Norfolk, Virginia 23510, USA.
    
        Chart prices are subject to recomputation, based on cost of 
    production, in accordance with Federal law. Price changes, when 
    required, will be published 60 days in advance of the effective date.
        The first of 13 charts that will show some of the Olympic TFR's 
    will be published beginning with an effective date of February 1, 1996.
    
    Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) Information
    
        ATC and air traffic flow management systems will monitor and assess 
    the air traffic demand so that restrictions are kept to an essential 
    minimum. To assure maximum flexibility, NOTAMs will be issued to 
    announce all restrictions and other actions including the lifting of 
    any restrictions taken by the FAA in response to changing airport and 
    air traffic conditions.
        Time-critical aeronautical information that is of a temporary 
    nature or is not sufficiently known in advance to permit publication on 
    aeronautical charts or in other operational publications, receives 
    immediate dissemination via the National NOTAM system. All domestic 
    operators planning flight to the Olympics need to pay particular 
    attention to NOTAM D and Flight Data Center (FDC) NOTAM information. 
    NOTAM D information could affect a pilot's decision to make a flight. 
    NOTAM D pertains to information on 
    
    [[Page 5495]]
    airports, runways, navigational aids, radar services, and other 
    information essential to flight. An FDC NOTAM will contain information 
    which is regulatory in nature, such as amendments to aeronautical 
    charts and restrictions to flight. FDC NOTAM and NOTAM D information 
    will also be provided to international operators in the form of 
    International NOTAMs. NOTAMs are distributed through the National 
    Communications Center in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, for transmission 
    to all air traffic facilities having telecommunications access.
        Pilots and operators should consult the biweekly Notices to Airmen 
    Domestic/International publication. This publication contains the NOTAM 
    FDC and D NOTAMs. Special information, including graphics, will be 
    published in the biweekly publication several weeks in advance of the 
    Olympics. In addition, a booklet will be published detailing 
    information about the different venues. Distribution will be the same 
    as for the biweekly publication. For more detailed information 
    concerning the NOTAM system, refer to the Aeronautical Information 
    Manual, ``Preflight'' Section.
    
    Other U.S. Laws and Regulations
    
        Aircraft operators should clearly understand that the SFAR is in 
    addition to other laws and regulations of the U.S. The SFAR will not 
    waive or supersede any U.S. law or obligation. When operating within 
    the jurisdictional limits of the U.S., operators of foreign aircraft 
    must conform with all applicable requirements of U.S. Federal, State, 
    and local governments. In particular, aircraft operators planning 
    flights into the U.S. must be aware of and conform to the rules and 
    regulations established by the:
        1. U.S. Civil Aeronautics Board regarding flights entering the 
    U.S.;
        2. U.S. Customs Service, Immigration and other authorities 
    regarding customs, immigrations, health, firearms, and imports/exports;
        3. U.S. FAA regarding flight in or into U.S. airspace. This 
    includes compliance with Federal Aviation Regulations regarding 
    operations into or within the U.S. through air defense identification 
    zones, and compliance with general flight rules; and
        4. Airport management authorities regarding use of airports and 
    airport facilities.
    
    Environmental Effects
    
        This rule establishes TFR areas for safety and security purposes 
    and will curtail or limit certain aircraft operations within designated 
    areas at defined dates and times, rather than require aircraft to be 
    operated along specified routings or in accordance with specific 
    procedures. Additionally, this regulation will be temporary in nature 
    and effective only for the dates and times necessary to provide for the 
    safety and protection of participants and spectators on the ground, as 
    well as law enforcement and security personnel operating in the air at 
    Olympic game venues. ATC will retain the ability to direct aircraft 
    through the restricted areas in accordance with normal traffic flows. 
    The FAA believes, therefore, that the establishment of temporary flight 
    restriction areas will have minimal impact on ATC routings or 
    procedures.
        Further, this action will result in a reduction in aircraft 
    activity in the vicinity of the Olympic games by restricting aircraft 
    operations. Therefore, there will be fewer aircraft operations in the 
    vicinity of the Olympic games than will have occurred if the restricted 
    areas were not in place and noise levels associated with that greater 
    aircraft activity will also be reduced. Additionally, aircraft avoiding 
    the restricted areas will not be routed over any specific area. This 
    rule will, therefore, not result in any long-term action which will 
    routinely route aircraft over noise-sensitive areas. For the reasons 
    stated above, the FAA concludes that this rule will not significantly 
    affect the quality of the human environment.
    
    International Civil Aviation Organization and Joint Aviation 
    Regulations
    
        In keeping with U.S. obligations under the Convention on 
    International Civil Aviation, it is FAA policy to comply with 
    International Civil Aviation organization Standards and Recommended 
    Practices (SARP) to the maximum extent practicable.
    
    Paperwork Reduction Act
    
        In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 
    104-13), the small amount of paper burden associated with the rule will 
    be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review.
    
    Regulatory Evaluation
    
        This regulatory evaluation examines the costs and benefits of the 
    SFAR applicable for the period July 19 through August 4, 1996, the SFAR 
    establishes TFR's overlying the various competition venues for the 1996 
    Olympic games. This rule requires slot reservations for arrivals and 
    departures at specified airports in the vicinity of the Olympics. Since 
    the impacts of the changes are relatively minor this economic summary 
    constitutes the analysis and no regulatory evaluation will be placed in 
    the docket.
    
    Costs and Benefits
    
        There are two major areas where economic impacts are likely: Slot 
    Reservation System and Temporary Flight Restrictions.
    
    A. Slot Reservation System
    
        During the Olympic period, the FAA must assure the continued safe 
    and efficient use of airspace over the affected areas. To achieve this 
    objective while minimizing disruption to the air traveling public, the 
    FAA will establish an arrival and departure slot reservation system to 
    manage air traffic into and out of airports serving the Olympic Games.
        As a result of the slot reservation system some flights may be 
    canceled and others rerouted. The cost of the cancellations will be the 
    value of the flights to airlines and passengers less aircraft operating 
    cost to conduct the flights. Other flights may be diverted to other 
    airports in the Olympic Games area. Diversions will result in 
    additional costs of trips to and from places of intended lodging and 
    possible extra aircraft operation costs. The major economic impact in 
    the case of a diversion will be an inconvenience to operators who may 
    have wanted to land at a given airport. Because such occurrences are of 
    limited duration, the FAA believes that costs associated with any 
    diversions from one airport to another in the affected area will 
    probably be minimal. The additional FAA administrative workload 
    generated by the rule will be absorbed by current personnel and 
    equipment resources. The slot provision will not require any additional 
    air traffic controllers nor additional radar control equipment.
        The benefits of the slot reservation system will be better control 
    of the airspace over Atlanta and other areas affected by the Olympics. 
    Arrivals are expected to increase 25 percent during the 3 weeks of the 
    Olympic season. There will be an increased risk of accidents due to 
    this unprecedented congestion in the Atlanta area if greater controls 
    are not implemented. There is also the potential benefit of reduced 
    delay times for operators attempting to land in the Atlanta area. The 
    slot provision will assure that the FAA will have sufficient capacity 
    to handle the many possible extra flights carrying spectators, 
    athletes, media personnel, and dignitaries during the Olympic period 
    without unnecessary delay.
    
    [[Page 5496]]
    
    
    B. Temporary Flight Restriction Areas
    
        Due to the substantial increase in aircraft operations that are 
    expected in the Atlanta area as well as other sites, the FAA will 
    establish TFR areas over the Olympic village and competition sites. The 
    establishment of TFR's over competition venues will result in the 
    restriction of aircraft operations from the surface to 2500 feet.
        The major economic impact of circumnavigation in this case will be 
    an inconvenience to operators who may have wanted to operate within the 
    area of the TFR. Because such occurrences are of limited duration and 
    the restricted areas are limited in size, the FAA believes that any 
    circumnavigation cots will be negligible. An aircraft operator could 
    avoid the restricted airspace by flying over it without significantly 
    deviating from their current routes or by circumnavigating the 
    restricted airspace.
        The benefits of the TFR airspace primarily will be enhanced safety 
    to the public. Enhanced safety will take the form of the reduced 
    possibility of fatalities and property damage as a result of a lowered 
    risk of accidents due to increased positive control of TFR airspace. 
    While benefits cannot be quantified, the FAA believes the benefits are 
    commensurate with the small costs attributed to the temporary 
    inconvenience of the flight restrictions for operators near the TFR.
    
    Regulatory Flexibility Act Determination
    
        The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) ensures that 
    government regulations do not needlessly and disproportionately burden 
    small businesses. The RFA requires the FAA to review each rule that may 
    have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
    entities.
        The FAA's criteria for a ``substantial number'' is a number that is 
    not less than 11 and that is more than one third of the small entities 
    subject to the rule. The small entities that could be potentially 
    affected by the implementation of the proposed rule are operators of 
    aircraft for hire owning nine or fewer aircraft. Because of the 
    negligible impact of this regulatory action, the FAA initially 
    determines that this proposed amendment would not have a significant 
    impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    
    Federalism Implications
    
        The regulation set forth herein will not have substantial direct 
    effects on the States, on the relationship between the national 
    government and the States, or on the distribution of power and 
    responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, in 
    accordance with Executive Order 12612, it is determined that this 
    regulation will not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant 
    the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
    
    International Trade Impact Assessment
    
        This rule will not constitute a barrier to international trade, 
    including the export of U.S. goods and services to foreign countries 
    and the import of foreign goods and services to the United States. This 
    rule will not impose additional temporary costs to aircraft operators. 
    There should be no effect on U.S. or foreign aircraft manufacturers. 
    Therefore, the FAA has determined that the rule will neither have an 
    effect on the sale of foreign aviation products nor services in the 
    United States, nor will it have an effect on the sale of U.S. products 
    or services in foreign countries.
    
    Conclusion
    
        For the reasons discussed in the preamble, and based on the 
    findings in the Regulatory Flexibility Determination and the 
    International Trade Impact Assessment, the FAA has determined that this 
    regulation is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive 
    Order 12866. The FAA has determined that the rule will impose temporary 
    additional costs to the public. The magnitude of these costs, while 
    undetermined, are negligible. The benefits will be increased aviation 
    safety resulting from a lower risk of accidents due to increased 
    congestion during the Olympics. In addition, the FAA certifies that 
    this regulation will not have a significant economic impact, positive 
    or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the 
    criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. This regulation is not 
    considered significant under DOT Order 2100.5, Policies and Procedures 
    for Simplification, Analysis, and Review of Regulations. A Regulatory 
    Flexibility Determination and International Impact Assessment are set 
    out above. Because the economic impact of this rule is likely to be 
    minimal, no formal regulatory evaluation has been prepared.

    operations.
    
    B. Slot Reservation System
    
    1. General Description
    
        Slot reservations for arrivals and departures at specified 
    airports in the vicinity of the Olympic Games are required for the 
    period July 17 through August 6, 1996. The FAA believes this action 
    is necessary for the security of the venues, safe operation and 
    management of aircraft operating to, within, and from these areas, 
    and to prevent any unsafe congestion of sightseeing and other 
    aircraft over the various venues.
    
    2. Definitions
    
        For purposes of this SFAR the following definitions apply:
        (a) Domestic air transportation (domestic)--the carriage by 
    aircraft of persons or property as a common carrier for compensation 
    or hire, or the carriage of mail by aircraft, in commerce 
    originating in the United States and commencing any place within the 
    United States.
        (b) Foreign air transportation (foreign)--the carriage by 
    aircraft of persons or property as a common carrier for compensation 
    or hire, or carriage of mail by aircraft, in commerce between a 
    place in the United States and any place outside of the United 
    States.
        (c) Scheduled operations--foreign and domestic air carrier and 
    cargo operations published in the Official Air Line Guide (OAG) as 
    of June 30, 1996, and/or routine consistent operations operated same 
    time, day and number of days per week as in regularly scheduled 
    cargo operations. This category also includes additional operations 
    by scheduled operators at the same airport if those operations are 
    listed in the OAG as of June 30, 1996.
        (d) Non-scheduled operations--foreign and domestic charters and 
    cargo operations not published in the OAG as of June 30, 1996, and/
    or not operated on a routine consistent basis during the same time, 
    day and number of days per week, excluding helicopters. This 
    category also includes additional operations by scheduled operators 
    at the same airport that are not listed in the OAG as of June 30, 
    1996.
        (e) Other operations--all operations conducted by operators that 
    do not hold either an air carrier certificate or an operating 
    certificate for common carriage issued under SFAR 38-2 or part 119 
    of the Federal Aviation Regulations or any operations conducted 
    under part 129 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. These operations 
    exclude helicopters and include, but are not limited to, general 
    aviation and business operations conducted under part 91.
    
    3. Method
    
        Beginning May 15 through June 30, 1996, non-scheduled operations 
    may submit their request for slot reservations for the affected 
    airports via Internet address [atcslots@mail.hq.faa.gov] or 
    facsimile number [(770) 946-7938]. Request confirmation will be 
    provided within 72 hours of receipt via the form of request. From 
    the period July 1 through July 13, 1996, the FAA will not receive 
    any requests.
        Beginning July 14, 1996, 7:00 a.m. (EDT), all operators can 
    reserve VFR arrival and departure or IFR arrival and departure slots 
    at these airports by calling 1-800-96FAA96 (963-2296), 24 hours a 
    day. Reservation slots may be reserved no sooner than 72 hours 
    before your estimated time of arrival or departure.
    
    4. Necessary Information
    
        The following information must be provided for all requests 
    (reservation requests beginning May 15 through June 30, 1996, via 
    Internet address or facsimile number, and via the telephone number 
    as of July 14, 1996): Arrival Reservations: destination airport, 
    estimated time of arrival, call sign, direction of arrival to the 
    Atlanta area and type aircraft; Departure Reservations: departure 
    airport, estimated time of departure, call sign, destination 
    airport, first fix after departure and type aircraft; Confirmation 
    Method: operator's Internet address or facsimile number for return 
    confirmation for arrival and departure reservations.
    
    5. Affected Airports
    
        For purposes of the SFAR:
        (a) Airports and airspace areas associated with Olympic activity 
    which require restriction or prohibition of aviation activity will 
    be designated in NOTAMs issues pursuant to this SFAR.
        (b) Airports listed below and in NOTAMs issued pursuant to this 
    SFAR are identified as:
    
    VFR Arrival Slot Reservation Airports
    
    Cobb County-McCollum Field Airport (RYY), Marietta, GA
    DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK), Atlanta, GA
    Fulton County Airport-Brown Field Airport (FTY), Atlanta, GA

    Atlanta, GA
    Richard B. Russell Airport (RMG), Rome, GA
    
    C. Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) Areas
    
        The FAA establishes TFR areas over the Olympic Village and 
    competition sites. The establishment of TFR areas over the 
    competition venues will result in the restriction of aircraft 
    operations in these areas; however, access to these areas may be 
    accommodated with an appropriate authorization from the designated 
    using agency. Aircraft operating under exclusions approved by the 
    Administrator are required to contact the designated using agency 
    for appropriate authority to enter a TFR. ATC will retain the 
    ability to manage aircraft through the TFR areas in accordance with 
    normal traffic flow.
        Operating restrictions within the airspace overlying competition 
    venues are for the period from 3 hours before to 3 hours after each 
    event. The additional time that the restrictions are to be imposed, 
    before and after each event, will accommodate the observation and 
    planning of ground traffic movement as well as facilitate the 
    orderly movement of aircraft in and through the airspace above each 
    event. Flight operations will be restricted within the airspace from 
    the surface to approximately 2500 feet AGL to provide a safe 
    environment.
        At the following locations, flight is restricted during the 
    times of designation:
    
    1. The Olympic Village; Atlanta, Georgia
    
        That airspace within a 1 NM radius of latitude (lat.) 33 deg.
