Background

On August 29, 2006, the FAA published the final rule, “Congestion and Delay Reduction at Chicago O'Hare International Airport.” In the final rule, the FAA adopts regulations to address persistent delays from overscheduling at O'Hare International Airport. In the DATES section of the final rule, we noted that affected parties did not need to comply with the information collection requirements in certain sections of the rule until the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the FAA's request.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, OMB approved the FAA's request for new information collection on August 29, 2006, and assigned the information collection OMB Control Number 2120-0716. The control number, granted on the day the final rule was published, was not available in time to include in that publication. The request was approved by OMB without change and expires on August 31, 2009.
