IATA standard schedule information format and data elements (Standard Schedules Information Manual or SSIM) may be used. The U.S. summer scheduling season for these airports is from March 24, 2013, through October 26, 2013, in recognition of the IATA northern summer period. The FAA understands there may be differences in slot times due to different U.S. daylight saving time dates and will accommodate these differences to the extent possible.
