ACTION: Notification of limited waiver of slot usage requirement and limited scheduling relief. SUMMARY: This notification announces a limited, conditional policy for prioritizing returned operations at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) due to a construction-related runway closure at EWR for purposes of establishing a carrier's operational baseline in the next corresponding scheduling seasons. A “returned operation” is any planned operation included in the initially approved schedules that a carrier moved or will not operate due to the effort to reach the targeted reduced schedule throughout the construction period at EWR. In addition, the FAA will provide similar limited, conditional relief at Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), and San Francisco International Airport (SFO) under the FAA's Level 2 schedule facilitation process as well as a limited, conditional waiver of minimum usage requirements at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), for impacted flights between EWR and the listed airports. DATES: This action is effective November 20, 2024. ADDRESSES: Requests may be submitted by mail to the Slot Administration Office, System Operations Services, AJR-0, Room 300W, 800 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20591, or by email to: 7-awa-slotadmin@faa.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions concerning this notice contact: Al Meilus, Capacity and Slot Analysis, FAA ATO System Operations Services, AJR-G5, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20591; telephone 202-267-2822; email al.meilus@faa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notification provides relief that will enable carriers to reduce operations at EWR without unduly impacting schedules in subsequent seasons during the following runway closure periods: (1) Weekend closures from March 1, 2025, to April 14, 2025, and September 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, from Friday at 11:00 p.m. through 5:00 a.m. on Sunday; and (2) Daily closures from April 15, 2025, to June 15, 2025, for all hours. Reducing operations will help prevent delays, optimize the efficient use of the airport's available resources, and deliver passengers to their destinations more reliably and on time. Background EWR will undergo airside construction projects conducted in several stages from 2024 through 2026 with varying impacts on airport capacity. Weekend closures of Runway 4L-22R will be scheduled from March 1, 2025, to April 14, 2025, and September 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, from Friday at 11:00 p.m. through 5:00 a.m. on Sunday.[1] On April 15, 2025, EWR is scheduled to begin rehabilitation of Runway 4L-22R. This work will cause the continuous closure of Runway 4L-22R for 60 days, to June 15, 2025. Runways 4R-22L and 11-29 will remain operational during this period. The FAA has designated EWR, ORD, LAX, and SFO, as Level 2 airports under the Worldwide Slot Guidelines (WSG).[2] The FAA does not allocate slots, apply historic precedence, or impose minimum …
