OST-96-1496 OST-97-3178	October 14, 1998	Application for Renewal of Exemption	U.S. - Thailand
		Service List

Because of the continuing economic difficulties in Thailand impacting the level of demand for its U.S.-Thailand cargo service, UPS finds it necessary to further defer the commencement of its service and hereby requests an extension of its existing exemption from the 90-day dormancy condition to enable it to defer the use of its Thailand frequencies until December 31, 1999, with the standard 90 day dormancy provision to begin on that date. Should economic conditions in Thailand improve before that date, UPS would commence the service sooner.
