Order 00-10-8
OST-99-6691
Issued October 11, 2000
Served October 11, 2000
Order Dismissing the Third-Party Complaint Alleged Legal Violations

We nevertheless dismiss ARTA's complaint, and. we do so without reaching the merits. The Department has already begun an informal investigation into Orbitz and the terms on which it is to operate in order to determine whether and to what extent regulating it may be warranted- -under §41712 and the policy directives set forth in 49 U.S.C. §40101.3 Depending on its outcome, this investigation may serve as the basis for a rulemaking proceeding or an order to cease and desist. We are dismissing ARTA's complaint without prejudice if Orbitz does go forward, ARTA is free to complain that its operation violates §41712.
