U.S.- Hong Kong Fifth Freedom All- Cargo Proceeding

OST-95-764	January 23, 2001	Motion for Leave to File an Otherwise Unauthorized Document and Surreply of UPS to Polar Air Cargo	Hong Kong 5th Freedom All-Cargo
		Service List

Polar accuses UPS of attempting to delay this proceeding. If UPS had not applied for these dormant rights, there would not now be a proceeding. Polar was sitting on its hands, apparently oblivious to the existence of these dormant rights, until UPS filed its application. Then - presumably as a result of UPS' filing - Polar filed a "me too" application after realizing that these valuable rights were available. In that UPS was the first, and for a period of time the only, carrier to apply for these rights, UPS obviously is interested in their prompt award. UPS initially applied for these rights over five (5) years ago. UPS further believes that a deliberate consideration of the issues and all available facts in this proceeding will clearly demonstrate that the selection of UPS will produce the greatest benefits.

This is an important case. These frequencies will be of enormous benefit to UPS as building blocks for its intra-Asian system. UPS believes the procedural schedule it has suggested will meet the dual goals of awarding these valuable, dormant rights expeditiously - rights which would perhaps have been dormant indefinitely had UPS not applied for them - while simultaneously providing the Department with an adequate record necessary to determine which application best serves the public interest.

Counsel: Kelley Drye, Michael Francesconi, 202.955.9864
