U.S.- Brazil All Cargo Charters

We propose to make available for each calendar month remaining in the charter year (March--June) a pro rata portion of the charters that were in the charter pool as of January 25, 2001, i.e., 21 charters each month.' All eligible carriers interested in using the charters would be able to apply as set forth below for the available charters. We propose to distribute the available flights each month by dividing the number of available flights equally by the number of eligible applicants to the extent that such allocations are equal to or fewer than requested, and to distribute the remaining flights using a round-robin procedure on a first--come, first-served basis. 2 Consistent with our current procedures, carriers allocated flights each month would be required to report the number of flights used no later than the tenth of the following month. We propose that any flights returned would be available for the charters that can be applied for in that month of the return. For example, reports for charters distributed for February operations would be due by March 10. Under our proposed procedures, applications for charters to be operated in April would be due by March 15. Thus, any charters distributed for February and returned in March, would be added to the number of charters available for distribution for April services.

Because of the limited number of charters available for the remainder of the charter year, we propose that a carrier with an advance charter allocation would not be eligible to apply for additional charters under the procedures tentatively set forth in this order until it had used all of the charters in its advance allocation. In addition, we propose to exclude those U.S. carriers that hold scheduled combination or all-cargo service authority to serve Brazil.
