February 22, 2005 Re: Comments of Clarion/Venango Educational Resources Alliance Venango County is experiencing the beginning of a positive trend in business development thanks to our legislators and community leaders. County-owned property on a site east of the Rte. 8 airport frontage, for example, has been designated a Keystone Opportunity Zone (ten years property tax free) and a Foreign Trade Zone. Our lead economic development entity, the Oil Region Alliance for Business, Industry and Tourism, is aggressively marketing the Airport Business Park along with a nearby multi-tenant industrial site. This is evidence of a recovering business climate in the Franklin/Oil City area. Our rural area must be allowed to compete with the larger urban areas on a level playing field. Viable commercial air service helps level that playing field and is necessary for us to reinvent and sustain our economic growth. By: Joann Wheeler

OST-2005-20363 - Interstate Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity February 22, 2005 Re: Request for Additional Information We have completed our initial review of the application filed on February 8,2005, by PM Air, LLC for the determination of its fitness to conduct interstate scheduled air transportation. This review has revealed the need for additional and/or clarifying information before we can complete processing of PM Air’s application. The attached Information Request lists the areas where further information and/or clarification is necessary. I ask that you respond fully to this request within 30 days of the date of this letter. The original plus 6 copies of your response should be filed in Docket OST-05-20363. As is the Department’s practice, further processing of PM Air’s application will be deferred pending receipt of this material. In addition, please remember that PM Air should promptly provide the Department with any information regarding changes it may undergo in areas affecting its fitness (i.e., management, operating plans or financial condition, compliance disposition, or ownership) while its application is under review by the Department. By: Damon Walker RegionsAir, Inc. (formerly Corporate Airlines, Inc.) Order 2005-2-15 Issued February 23, 2005 | Served February 28, 2005 Order Reissuing Certificate | Word RegionsAir, Inc. formally Corporate Airlines, Inc. holds authority to engage in scheduled passenger air transportation operations as a commuter air carrier. On March 6, 2001 (Order 2001-3-7), we transferred to Corporate Airline, Inc., the commuter air carrier authority previously held by Corporate Flight Management, Inc. The applicant’s effective commuter authority was made effective on May 1, 2001 (see Order 2001-5-5, Docket OST-2000-8291). On January 10, 2004, Corporate Air filed an application to reissue its certificate in the name of “RegionsAir, Inc.” RegionsAir states that this is a change in corporate name only and does not constitute a change in operations, substantial or otherwise. The change in the corporate name was accomplished on December 31, 2004, by an amendment to its charter. By: Randall Bennett Request for Public Comments on Reporting Requirements February 23, 2005 Re: Response of Federal Express to Comments of Delta Air Lines and United Air Lines As United points out in its comments, the first issue that BTS should focus on in this docket is whether this information is needed at all. As United states: "No carrier should be burdened with an obligation to report information to the Department, whether on Form 41 or otherwise, that the Department does not need to carry out its statutory responsibilities. If DOT does not need the mail data, then no carrier should be required to file the data and the BTS should grant all carriers (not just Federal Express) an exemption from Part 241, relieving them of the filing obligation." Delta states that "[e]ither Part 241 should apply to all carriers transporting U.S. mail, or to none." Although FedEx continues to maintain its position that the DOT's reporting requirements do not govern the USPS alliance and therefore no waiver is necessary, we also continue to take the position that we know of no reason that any carrier should be required to submit this data. In its Federal Register notice, BTS stated that it "will consider a future rulemaking to amend, supplement, replace or remove the relevant regulations." Given the stated willingness of at least 3 carriers to forego this data and the harm cited by both FedEx Express and the USPS, FedEx Express urges BTS to issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that will remove this superfluous requirement. Counsel: Federal Express, Sarah Prosser, 901-434-8579 Review of Existing Regulations and Regulatory Agenda February 22, 2005 Initial Comments of The Air Transport Association of America We believe that the Department and its agencies should undertake regulatory, certification, and enforcement actions based upon the following considerations:
The foregoing approach will require more responsive and collaborative relationships among the Department, carriers, public interest groups and vendors. This collaborative framework is not intended to usurp DOT's regulatory role. The airline industry does not want that statutory mandate to be compromised. The methods by which that mandate is discharged, however, need to be considered carefully for their efficacy and economy.

February 23, 2005 Re: Comments of Jefferson Ranck
February 23, 2005 I wish to oppose the request by United to relax rules on partner carriers. I want more information, not less. When looking at flight schedules I want to know which airline I will be flying so that I can check their safety and arrival record. I want to know this information before booking as it affects my decision as to whether to make a reservation or not. OST-2005-20459 - Exemption - Chicago/Detroit-San Jose del Cabo February 22, 2005 applies for an exemption authorizing it to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail on the following U.S.-Mexico routes:
USA 3000 understands that only American is currently designated and operating scheduled service in the Chicago-Los Cabos city-pair and no U.S. carrier is currently designated or operating non-stop service in the Detroit-Los Cabos city-pair. USA 3000 understands that American is currently operating Detroit-Chicago-Los Cabos same plane service on a one-stop basis, however this does not require a designation since Detroit-Los Cabos non-stop service is not being offered by American. Counsel: Pierre Murphy, 202-776-3980, pmuprhy@lopmurphy.com
