Counsel: Silverberg Goldman, Robert Silverberg, 202-944-3300, rsilverberg@sgbdc.com OST-04-18493 - American Samoa-Independent State of Samoa June 28, 2004 Counsel: Silverberg Goldman, Robert Silverberg, 202-944-3300, rsilverberg@sgbdc.com OST-04-18493 - American Samoa-Independent State of Samoa Filed June 23, 2004 | Issued July 26, 2004 Exemption under 49 U.S.C. 40109 to provide the following service: Foreign charter cargo air transportation between Pago Pago, American Samoa, and Apia, Samoa, using one CASA 212 aircraft. By: Randall Bennett OST-04-17582 - Emergency Exemption - Pago Pago-Ofu/Fitiua September 17, 2004 Application of Village Aviation Accordingly, Village hereby requests that the Department amend footnote no. 1 of the Notice of Action Taken, Docket OST-2004-18493, issued July 16, 2004 and provide that the exemption authority granted thereby extends until such time as the Department issues a final decision on Village's application to amend its certificate. As footnote no. 1 is currently written, the exemption authority granted by the Notice expires on September 30, 2004 even if the Department has yet to issue a final decision on Village's certificate application. In addition, Village hereby requests that the Department amend the Notice of Action Taken, Docket OST-2004-17582, issued April 20, 2004 and include the same amended footnote requested to be included in the July 16 Notice so that both exemption authorities expire upon the issuance by the Department of a final decision on Village's application to amend its certificate. Counsel: Silverberg Goldman, Robert Silverberg, 202-944-3300, rsilverberg@sgbdc.com OST-04-17582 - Emergency Exemption - Pago Pago-Ofu/Fitiua October 4, 2004 By application dated September 17,2004, in the above-referenced Dockets, Village Aviation has requested a continuation of its existing exemption authority to serve American Samoa, pending action on its sister application to remove the "Alaska only" provision from its certificate. As a primary justification for the proposed action, Villages states that "Village desires to continue its operations in American Samoa and the Independent State of Samoa pending the Department's final decision on its application to amend its certificate". Safari Aviation, Inc. is a company organized under the laws of the State of Hawaii and registered as a Foreign Corporation in American Samoa, which was under contract with Village to provide cargo services in American Samoa and the Independent State of Samoa. This contract was never honored and to the best of Safari's knowledge, Village Aviation never had governmental authority to conduct a business in the region nor was it registered with either territory or country as a foreign corporation nor did it posses a business license. In addition, Village Aviation, Inc., and its aircraft, departed the region as of September 30, 2004 with no apparent intention of returning. This information is submitted for your consideration. By: Safari, Preston Myers Village Aviation, Inc. d/b/a Village Air Cargo Order 05-01-26 Issued January 28, 2005 | Served February 2, 2005 By this Order, we dismiss (1) the application filed in Docket OST-2004-18841 requesting removal of a certificate restriction pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 41 llO(a)(2)(A); (2) the application filed in Docket OST-2004-17582 requesting amendment of exemption authority; and (3) the application filed in Docket OST 2004- 18493 requesting amendment of exemption authority.
