Motion for Leave to File and Response of Delta in Support of Petition

HTML

Delta urges the Department to adopt a policy establishing a presumption that routine authorities, including exemptions, Statements of Authorization, and frequency allocations, will be granted for a period of indefinite duration, unless the Department identifies particular bilateral or competitive concerns that would warrant approval for a lesser period. Those concerns could readily be determined by the Department on a case-by-case basis, eliminating superfluous renewal filings for the vast majority of "garden-variety" economic authorities.
