		Codeshare, U.S. Carrier and Foreign Air Carrier Conditions

As is our normal practice in these matters, we will impose our standard conditions on the codeshare authorizations, along with our standard dormancy notice conditions for U.S. carriers on the new exemption authority for nonstop transborder U.S.-Mexico services granted by this order. We have decided not to apply the dormancy conditions to the broad exemption authority awarded for the beyond gateway interior U.S. and interior Mexico code-share services authorized. The dormancy conditions were designed to maximize U.S. carrier opportunities under the U.S.-Mexico aviation agreement to ensure that limited-entry routes not being served would be readily available for service by other carriers. Because there are now no limits on the beyond gateway code-share operations under the February 1999 agreement, we do not find that it is necessary, or in the public interest, to apply the dormancy condition to those services.
