Period. In establishing each Peak Period to be in effect at BOS, the Chief Executive Officer shall take
into account data and other information obtained or developed by the Monitoring Program and related
projections, information from similar periods during previous years, updated published schedule filings
to the extent generally available, and any other information deemed relevant by the Chief Executive
Officer.

such declaration, and the specification of the hours, days of the week, and months, of the Peak Period,

other subsequent Peak Period established under 740 CMR 27.05(2), are subject to adjustment by the

expansion of the Peak Period and to allow FAA, if it chooses, the opportunity to establish or
participate in the process to examine, and ifappropriate, implement such voluntary modification in flight
levels. In the event the Chief Executive Officer determines that such action is necessary to avoid
imminent occurrence ofOverschedulingconditions, the Peak Period may be adjusted without the notice
provided for in 740 CMR 27.05(2), but subject to the provision of notice as required in the ensuing
paragraph.
