{"abstract":"This proposed rule would update existing overflight fee rates using more current FAA cost accounting and air traffic activity data. Overflight fees are charges for aircraft flights that transit U.S.- controlled airspace, but neither land in nor depart from the United States. Overflight fee rates were last updated in 2011. As a result, the FAA is not recovering the full cost of the services it provides. The FAA proposes to increase the rates for Enroute and Oceanic overflights based on fiscal year 2013 cost and air traffic activity data. The FAA proposes to phase in this rate increase over three years in equal percentage terms. This is a less burdensome approach than the alternative of phasing in the new rates in equal absolute terms, and is the same methodology used in the previous rulemaking. Finally, the FAA proposes several organizational and clarifying revisions to the overflight fee requirements.","action":"Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Aviation Administration","name":"Federal Aviation Administration","id":159,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-aviation-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/159","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-aviation-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2015/08/28/2015-21293.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":187,"title":14}],"citation":"80 FR 52217","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2015-10-27","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Send comments on or before October 27, 2015.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No.: FAA-2015-3597","Notice No. 15-06"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Compliance with Executive Order 12866","document_id":"FAA-2015-3597-0006"},{"title":"Overflight Fee Rate Development Report","document_id":"FAA-2015-3597-0005"},{"title":"2015 U.S. Airspace Description","document_id":"FAA-2015-3597-0004"},{"title":"Fiscal Year 2013 Cost Methodology Report","document_id":"FAA-2015-3597-0003"},{"title":"February 14, 2014 ARC Recommendations","document_id":"FAA-2015-3597-0002"}],"agency_name":null,"documents":[{"comment_count":74,"comment_start_date":"2015-08-28","updated_at":"2023-02-28T23:59:08.811-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FAA-2015-3597-0001","allow_late_comments":null,"id":"FAA-2015-3597-0001","comment_end_date":"2015-10-28","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":5,"id":"FAA-2015-3597","title":"Update of Overflight Fee Rates"}],"document_number":"2015-21293","effective_on":null,"end_page":52224,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2015/08/28/2015-21293.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/08/28/2015-21293/update-of-overflight-fee-rates","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2015-21293?publication_date=2015-08-28","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2015-08-28/2015-21293/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":8,"page_views":{"count":1199,"last_updated":"2026-10-24 10:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-08-28/pdf/2015-21293.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2015-21293.pdf?1440679548","publication_date":"2015-08-28","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2015/08/28/2015-21293.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2120-AK53":{"issue":"201610","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2120-AK53/update-of-overflight-fees","title":"Update of Overflight Fees","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201610&RIN=2120-AK53&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Substantive, Nonsignificant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["2120-AK53"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Compliance with Executive Order 12866","document_id":"FAA-2015-3597-0006"},{"title":"Overflight Fee Rate Development Report","document_id":"FAA-2015-3597-0005"},{"title":"2015 U.S. Airspace Description","document_id":"FAA-2015-3597-0004"},{"title":"Fiscal Year 2013 Cost Methodology Report","document_id":"FAA-2015-3597-0003"},{"title":"February 14, 2014 ARC Recommendations","document_id":"FAA-2015-3597-0002"}],"regulatory_plan":{"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2120-AK53/update-of-overflight-fees","title":"Update of Overflight Fees"},"comments_count":74,"agency_id":"FAA","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=FAA-2015-3597","supporting_documents_count":5,"docket_id":"FAA-2015-3597","document_id":"FAA-2015-3597-0001","regulation_id_number":"2120-AK53","title":"Update of Overflight Fee Rates","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-03-01T04:59:07Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":52217,"subtype":null,"title":"Update of Overflight Fee Rates","toc_doc":"Update of Overflight Fee Rates","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Air transportation"],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":80}
