   B) San Antonio, TX and Saltillo
   (expiring on September 12, 2007, Docket OST-2005-22042)

In addition, pursuant to the Notice issued in In the Matter of Streamlining Regulatory Procedures For Licensing U. S. and Foreign Air Carriers served by the Department on August 26, 2005 in Docket OST-2005-22228, ASTAR seeks expedited treatment of its requests to amend its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Route 725) to replace the corresponding exemptions (Dockets OST-2005-20828, OST-2005-21307, OST-2005-22621 respectively) and include all of ASTAR’s US-Mexico authority in one certificate. Specifically, ASTAR requests that the Department amend, by final order in accordance with 14 C.F.R. §302.210(a)(2), ASTAR’s Mexico route authority under the new streamlined procedures by adding the above-listed city pair routes without the issuance of an intermediate show-cause order.
