Procedures for Compensation of Air Carriers
| OST-01-10885 | February 1, 2002 | Amendment
to Final Rule |
Procedures for Compensation of Air Carriers |
On September 22, 2001, President Bush signed into law the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act (``the Act''). The Act makes available to the President funds to compensate air carriers, as defined in the Act, for direct losses suffered as a result of any Federal ground stop order and incremental losses beginning September 11, 2001, and ending December 31, 2001, resulting from the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States. In order to fulfill Congress' intent to expeditiously provide compensation to eligible air carriers, the Department used procedures set out in Program Guidance Letters to make initial estimated payments amounting to about 50 percent of the authorized funds. On October 29, 2001, the Department published a final rule and request for comments establishing application procedures for air carriers interested in requesting compensation under this statute. On January 2, 2002, the Department published amendments to the final rule responding to comments and establishing a deadline for submitting applications by indirect air carriers and wet lessors'. This document further amends the final rule to allow additional time for indirect air carriers and wet lessors' to submit applications for compensation. This rule is effective February 1, 2002.

| OST-01-11029 | January 31, 2002 | Motion
of Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Northwest
Airlines to Dismiss |
U.S.- U.K. Alliance |
| Service List |
Continental, Delta and Northwest urge the Department to dismiss the U.S.- U.K. Alliance Case immediately because the fundamental predicate of immediate prospects for an Open Skies agreement with the U.K. no longer exists and to require answers to this motion by February 5, 2002.
The Department and the applicants (American, British Airways, United, bmi and the other Star Alliance carriers) have recognized that consideration of the alliances at issue in this proceeding is dependent upon negotiation of an Open Skies agreement between the U.S. and the U.K. and that the U.K. has insisted that satisfactory approval of, and antitrust immunity for, an American/British Airways alliance is a prerequisite to the U.K.’s agreement to Open Skies. American and British Airways have stated they will not continue pursuing antitrust immunity in this proceeding because of conditions proposed by the Department, which were substantially less than those sought by Continental, Delta and Northwest. As a result, U.S.- U.K. open skies negotiations scheduled for this week have been cancelled. Moreover, United and bmi have recognized that approval of their request for antitrust immunity depends on approval of the American/British Airways application and negotiation of an Open Skies agreement between the U.S. and the U.K. Since the “existence of an open skies agreement is one necessary precondition for considering the approval and grant of antitrust immunity” (Order 2001-9-12 at 5) and action on approving the alliances is “conditioned on reaching an agreement with the United Kingdom on an Open Skies aviation agreement.” (Order 2002-1-12 at 1), there is no longer any justification for continuing this proceeding. Under these circumstances, the Department should take immediately the same action it took in Order 99-7-22, terminating this proceeding because the “fundamental predicate” of reaching an “Open Skies agreement meeting U.S. objectives” is not now attainable.
Counsel: Northwest, Megan Rae Rosia, 202.842.3193, Delta, Shaw Pittman, Robert Cohn, 202.663.8060, and, Continental, Crowell Moring, Bruce Keiner, 202.624.2500
| OST-01-11029 | Served February 1, 2002 | Notice
Shortening Answer Period |
U.S.- U.K. Alliance |
On January 31, 2002, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Northwest Airlines filed a joint Motion to Dismiss in this proceeding. Under the Department’s regulations, answers to the motion would normally be due February 11, 2002. The joint Motion requested that the answer period be shortened to February 5. By this Notice, we grant that request, and call for answers to the Motion to be filed on Tuesday, February 5, 2002, to expedite consideration of the motion. The Answers of the Joint Applicants should specifically address the status of the proposed alliances.
