Re: Confidential Treatment Request

We have decided to grant confidential treatment to some, but not all, of the information for which such treatment is sought. Specifically, we have decided to grant confidential treatment to information containing forecast revenues and related statistics, personal financial documents, and contractual information that would not otherwise be available to the public. We have, in the past, afforded other applicants confidential treatment to this information and therefore, we see no reason not to do so here.

Re: Partial Filing

On September 28, 2005, SCA filed some of the information in the public record that was denied confidential treatment by our August 8 decision. As a result of this partial filing, the record of this case is incomplete. To date, we also note that SCA has neither filed a petition for reconsideration nor has it indicated in the record that it intends to seek judicial review of our findings in these matters.

Re: Missing Materials

As per our conversation with Damon Walker, I sent copies of the items that went missing from our original filing on over to him via email. We were under the impression based on his first letter that we had included everything requested, but the information we had was somewhat unclear and resulted in the confusion we are very quickly working to clear up at this time.

Now that we have received a new, clearer list of what is required for our filing, we are reporting back to you herein that we took action today to get all missing materials to the appropriate people. We eagerly request that if there are still any items missing after this, our second attempt at the provision of required materials, that you please make it known to us so we can immediately follow up both with soft copies via email and hard copies as well.

Included items:

• Exhibit C - Resumes for Key Personnel
• Exhibit J - Balance Sheets and Income Statements Reflecting Financial Conditions
• Exhibit J - Pages 1, 2, 4 & 5
• Exhibit K - Supporting Quotes
• Exhibit R - Bank Balance and Letter of Credit

Re: Information Request - Bookmarked

Small Community Airlines is a commuter airline committed to providing quick, reliable and cost effective transportation between communities where little or no air service currently exists. Small Community Airlines stands poised to help smaller communities enhance their airline service outlined by the public/private partnership concept initiated by the DOT.

Small Community Airlines is only interested in P/PP with revenue guarantees and other incentives. We will provide air service to the small communities at a time when three of the six major air carriers are in bankruptcy and exiting the small markets. Small communities at risk of more air service cuts despite Congress's promise to maintain service to the small communities. There is widespread support in Congress in saving air service to the smaller communities.

DOT Request for Additional Information

On February 9, 2006, and January 11, 2007, SCA filed motions for confidential treatment under 14 CFR 302.12 for certain material filed in support of its application for certificate authority. By letter dated February 7, 2007, we ruled on these motions and granted the request, in part At that time, we informed SCA that the information for which confidential treatment was denied must be filed in Docket OST-2005-21822 within five business days, unless a petition for reconsideration is filed with the Department or a written statement is filed indicating that SCA in good faith intends to seek judicial review of the Department's decision.

On February 27, 2007, SCA filed some of the information in the public record that was denied confidential treatment by our February 7 decision. As a result of this partial filing, the record of this case is incomplete.

While the Department does closely work with applicants through the application process, it is not our policy to keep incomplete applications open indefinitely. Further, since this is a public proceeding, the Department expects the record of this case to fully conform to the filing requirements enumerated in 14 CFR 204.3. Therefore, within 14 days of the date of this letter, SCA should submit in Docket OST-2005-21822 the information for which the Department denied confidential treatment as identified in our February 7, 2007, letter. Should SCA fail to provide this information in the public docket, we intend to dismiss SCA's application without further notice.
