The spatial distribution of 600 near-Earth asteroid (NEA) orbits and the visible distribution of NEAs over the celestial sphere for different ecliptical longitudes (E are investigated. It has been concluded that the spatial concentration of NEAs at (E = 350...30o (September - October) increases by 30 - 50 per cent as compared with other ecliptical longitudes. Well-grounded recommendations as to the most suitable periods of the year and zones on the celestial sphere for the search for new NEAs are given. In the northern hemisphere the most expedient period is the end of September - October, and in the southern hemisphere - the end of August - September. Detection probability of NEAs in the antisolar zones of the sky is much higher than the average probability for the whole sphere. In the sky zones which are distant from the Sun by 60o - 120o detection probability is extremely small.
