 		Docket OST-1995-697

Notice of Extension

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated.  (No additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter.)

By Order 2004-9-11, served September 14, 2004, the Department
requested proposals from air carriers interested in providing essential
air service at Sheridan, Wyoming.  Two air carriers submitted a total of
nine proposal options in response to this order.  By letter dated
October 26, 2004, we requested comments on the air carrier selection
from the Mayor and Airport Manager of Dickinson and the Director, North
Dakota Aeronautics Commission.  We requested that these comments be
submitted by November 12, 2004.

We have received a request dated November 1, 2004, from the Airport
Manager, Dickinson Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport, requesting an
extension until November 19, 2004, for submitting the civic parties’
comments.  In support of his request, the Airport Manager states that a
regularly-scheduled meeting of the Airport Authority was pushed back
from November 9 to November 16.

We will grant this request, and in so doing, will grant all of the
civic parties until November 19, 2004, to submit their comments on the
service proposals for Sheridan.

This action is effective immediately.
