Order 2003-5-12 - EAS at Burlington, Iowa, Cape Girardeau, Ft. Leonard, and Kirksville, Missouri, Jackson, Tennessee, Marion, Illinios, Owensboro, Kentucky, and Quincy, Illinois
|
Issued May 9, 2003 | Served May 14, 2003 Order 03-5-12 Order Setting Final Rates | Word As discussed in Order 2002-2-13, the Department authorized emergency EAS payments to all subsidized carriers because of the losses suffered by them in the face of generally lower revenue and higher costs after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, combined with the fact that the EAS carriers are paid on a pre-agreed, fixed rate per flight. Recently, Order 2003-5-7, issued May 6, 2003, set final rates for seven of the above communities (all except Quincy) from October 1, 2001, until the respective ends of the various contracts. This Order sets final rates that go into effect at the expiration of those contracts, and will remain in effect until further Department action while we process the various carrier selection proceedings for all the communities.
