Answer of
the Port of Portland in Support of Application for Exemption Authority
We believe this application is consistent with the 1996 Memorandum ofUnderstanding ("MOU''). between the Governments of the United States and Japan concerning all-cargo service, and the recently concluded Memorandum of Consultations ("MOC"), between the two Governments. Pursuant to the MOU, which granted NCA the right to operate to three additional U.S. cities from anywhere in Japan. with full coterminal rights. the Government of Japan recently notified the U.S. Government of the selection of Portland, Oregon as one of those three points. The recent MOC also makes NCA an incumbent carrier with full rights to operate from any point in Japan to any point in the United States.

Consolidated Answer of Northwest Airlines
Northwest believes for several reasons that this "blanket authority" approach is preferable to granting authority to the incumbent carriers on a market-by-market basis, and has followed that approach in its own recently filed certificate application in Docket OST-98-3441. First, this approach is consistent with the broad language of the MOC provisions relating to the incumbent U.S. and Japanese carriers. Second, it reduces the volume of paperwork that the incumbent carriers otherwise would have to prepare (and that DOT decision makers would have to address) if a separate application had to be filed for each pair of countries or cities. Third, because it reduces the volume of such application paperwork, this approach enables the incumbents to continuously revise their routes and schedules in response to changes in consumer demand without having to continuously return to DOT to secure the necessary authority.
