09212022 OGDEN-HINCKLEY AIRPORT (OGD) TARMAC DELAY EMERGENCY CONTINGENCY PLAN Ogden Regional Airport (OGD) has prepared this Tarmac Delay Emergency Contingency Plan pursuant to §42301 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012. Questions regarding this plan can be directed to Bryant Garrett, OGD Airport Manager, at: [EMAIL REDACTED] or at (801) 603-8625. The Ogden Regional Airport is filing this plan with the Department of Transportation because: it is a commercial airport; and/or this airport may be used by an air carrier described in USC 4230l(a)(l) for diversions. This plan describes how, following excessive tarmac delays and to the extent practicable, Ogden Regional Airport (OGD) will: Provide for the deplanement of passengers; Provide for the sharing of facilities and make gates available at the airport; and Provide a sterile area following excessive tarmac delays for passengers who have not yet cleared United States Customs & Border Protection (CBP). The Ogden Regional Airport has facility constraints that limit our ability to accommodate diverted flights or maintain the airport's safe operation and strongly encourages aircraft operators to contact the Airport at (801) 629- 8251 or Tower Operations at (801) 625-5569 for prior coordination of diverted flights, except in the case of a declared in-flight emergency. ---PAGE BREAK--- 09212022 Specific facility constraints include the following: CBP does not have an international passenger processing facility at the Ogden Regional Airport, and could only handle a limited number of international passengers on an exception basis; The Ogden Regional Airport has a limited number of aircraft parking positions (Two narrow-body aircraft parking positions with three hydraulic lift ramp access to the ramp level) and then pedestrian access into the terminal building); Due to limited ground equipment located at the Ogden Regional Airport there is an inability to accommodate, park, or service certain types of aircraft. The current equipment can handle narrow-body aircraft up to the height of a Boeing 757 aircraft; The Ogden Regional Airport has third-party (FBO) fueling capacity with a maximum fuel truck size of 3,000 gallon of Jet fuel; TSA personnel are available during scheduled air carrier operations. TSA can only be recalled to the OGD Airport if there is life or property at risk. We will request these constraints to be included in the Ogden Regional Airport's FAA Airport / Facility Directory (AFD) record. During diversion events, the Ogden Regional Airport will request a NOTAM be issued, regarding its ability to accommodate diverted flights to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the airport and its ability to serve the civil aviation needs of the public during irregular operations events.

Plan to Provide for the Deplanement of Passengers Following Excessive Tarmac Delays The Ogden Regional Airport does own and/or operate equipment needed to safely deplane passengers from air carrier aircraft and is, therefore, able on its own to provide for the deplanement of passengers. Additionally, airport personnel are trained to assist in the deplanement of passengers using equipment owned or operated by air carriers or contract service providers. We will provide a list of airlines, ground handlers, fixed base operators, and others, who may have the necessary equipment and personnel to safely deplane passengers to airlines as soon as practicable after receiving requests from such airlines experiencing excessive tarmac delays at the contact number listed above. Plan to Provide for the Sharing of Facilities and Make Gates Available in an Emergency The air carrier gates at t h e Ogden Regional Airport are under common use gate leases, permits, or agreements to air carriers and are controlled by the airport. We direct our common use air carrier users to make gates and other facilities available to an air carrier seeking to deplane at a gate, to the maximum extent practicable. Plan to Provide a Sterile Area for Passengers Who Have Not Cleared United States Customs and Border Protection The Ogden Regional Airport does not have international passenger processing facilities. We will coordinate with local CBP and law enforcement officials to identify suitable areas and procedures for establishing a temporary sterile area into which international passengers on diverted aircraft who have not yet cleared United States Customs and Border Protection can be deplaned. ---PAGE BREAK--- 09212022 Once these efforts are complete, we will coordinate with local CBP officials to develop procedures that will allow international passengers who have not yet cleared United States Customs and Border Protection to be deplaned into these sterile areas to the extent practicable. Public Access to the Emergency Contingency Plan The Ogden Regional Airport will provide public access to its emergency contingency plan through one or more of the following means: Posting in a conspicuous location on the airport’s website (http://www.flyogden.com) Posting signs in conspicuous locations in the terminals
