Order to Show Cause Establishing Final Bush Service Mail Rates

By this order the Department proposes to establish new intra-Alaska bush service mail rates for the period April 1, 1998, through March 31, 1999. The rates that are currently in effect were established by Order 97-1-12, served January 22, 1997, for the period April 1, 1997, through March 31, 1998. Those rates will remain in effect as final rates through March 31, 1998, or until a final order is issued with respect to the rates proposed here, whichever is later.

		Appendix F: Regression Results of Nonfuel Linehaul Unit Costs

The proposed final rates, contained in Appendix A, reflect the application of cost adjustment factors, developed in Appendix B. to the basic mail rate structure established by the Department in Order 90-10-34. We have used the carriers' reported operating expenses for the YE 9/30/98, and have increased their unit costs to the mid-point of the new rate period, based on the long-term (nine-year) average annual changes in unit costs. We have also added Grant and Warbelow's operations to the cost pool. This is appropriate because both are large carriers in terms of overall bush operations and they generated 4.6% and 4. 1% respectively of total bush mail revenue in Alaska. 2 Adding their data to the cost pool makes the update more representative of the system without unnecessarily burdening it with carriers relatively insignificant in terms of the volume of mail they transport or in their overall size. As the Department deems appropriate, additional carriers may be added to or deleted from the pool of update-carriers in the future, so that a representative sample of the bush carriers in Alaska is maintained. At this time, we lack only one period from having sufficient data for a full ten-year moving average. We have not included Alaska Central Express, one of the biggest operators of bush equipment in Alaska, because their costs are atypical, i.e., their terminal costs are very low per ton enplaned because the bulk of their operations consist of operating high frequency service with bush aircraft over mainline routes.
