OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

                  WASHINGTON, D.C.

			Issued by the Department of Transportation on May 1, 2003

NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN DISMISSING APPLICATIONS -- VARIOUS DOCKETS

________________________________________________________________________
______This serves as notice to the public of the actions described
below, taken on the date shown above by the Department official
indicated (no additional confirming order will be issued in these
matters).

The carriers listed below have applied for various forms of authority or
relief under Title 49 of the United States Code in order to perform the
air transportation activities described.  Each application has either
been withdrawn by the applicant or otherwise become moot.  Therefore, we
find that these applications should be dismissed, under authority
assigned by the Department in its Regulations, 14 CFR §385.3 and
§385.13.

Docket			Description of Application

OST-1995-928 		American Airlines, Inc., filed October 1, 2001.  Renew
exemption to

(formerly 42298)	engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of
persons, property, and

mail between Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas, and Paris, France.  By Order
2002-5-25, the Department granted American broad U.S.-France certificate
authority.  By virtue of that certificate action, the point-specific
exemption renewal request in Docket OST-1995-928 is now encompassed in
the broad certificate authority and, thus, the exemption renewal
application is moot.

OST-1996-1109	American Airlines, Inc., filed February 28, 1996.  Renew
exemption

(formerly 49493)	to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of
persons, property,

and mail between points in the United States and Nice, France, and to
integrate such authority with the London/Europe authority American holds
by separate certificate and exemption.  By Order 2002-5-25, the
Department granted American broad U.S.-France certificate authority,
including route integration authority.  By virtue of that certificate
action, the U.S.-Nice exemption renewal request (including the requested
integration authority) in Docket OST-1996-1109 is now encompassed in the
broad certificate authority and, thus, the exemption renewal application
is moot.

OST-1997-1039	Arrow Air, Inc., filed November 20, 2001.  Renew two
U.S.-Ecuador

all-cargo frequencies to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of
property and mail between the United States and Ecuador.  On 

February 22, 2002, Arrow filed a motion for leave to withdraw its
application in Docket OST-1997-1039.  We will grant the motion.	

OST-2000-7525	Emery Worldwide Airlines, Inc., filed June 15, 2000. 
Amendment of

its U.S.-Mexico certificate of public convenience and necessity for
Route 743 to incorporate all of its U.S.-Mexico exemption authority, and
to integrate its amended Route 743 with Emery’s other certificate and
exemption authority.  Subsequently, on August 13, 2001, Emery ceased

all air transportation operations.  On November 11, 2001, Emery’s
certificate for Route 743 expired automatically pursuant to the dormancy
conditions in the certificate.  Thus, Emery’s application to amend
Route 743 is moot.

OST-1999-5286	Federal Express Corporation, filed June 29, 2001.  Waiver
from the

dormancy condition for seven Russia overflight frequencies to operate
all-cargo services between Paris, France, and Subic Bay, Philippines,
via Tashkent.  On March 22, 2002, Counsel for Federal Express orally
advised the Department that Federal Express would not be using the
frequencies after April 1, 2002, and therefore, the seven frequencies
would automatically revert to the Department for reallocation.

OST-2000-8551	Southern Air, Inc., filed December 14, 2000.  Exemption to
provide

scheduled foreign air transportation of property and mail between
Anchorage, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York (JFK), on the one hand,
and Seoul, Korea and Taipei, Taiwan, on the other.  By letter dated
March 6, 2002, Counsel for Southern Air withdrew its application.

OST-1997-3178	United Parcel Service Co., filed June 25, 2002.  Waiver
from the

dormancy condition for five U.S.-Thailand all-cargo frequencies.  As the
five frequencies here expired by their terms, the request for a waiver
is therefore moot.

 

 The authority, set to expire on December 6, 2001, has been kept in
force pursuant to the automatic extension provisions of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 558(c).  

 The authority, set to expire on May 2, 1996, has been kept in force
pursuant to the automatic extension provisions of the APA.
