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 2004-2-9, served February 12, 2004, the Department requested
proposals from air carriers interested in providing essential air
service at Laramie, Riverton, Rock Springs, and Worland, Wyoming.  These
proposals were due within 30 days after the date of service of
Order 2004-2-9, i.e., by March 15, 2004.

We have received a request from Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd., for a
seven-day extension of this due date.  In support of its request, Great
Lakes Aviation states that it had not received an original copy of
Order 2004-2-9 and hence has not had adequate time to develop
proposals, and affirms that it will deliver to the Department of
Transportation its proposals on or before the expiration of the
seven-day extension.

We find Great Lakes Aviation’s request to be reasonable; therefore, we
will grant all potentially interested applicants seven additional days,
until March 22, 2004, to submit service proposals for Laramie,
Riverton, Rock Springs, and Worland.

This action is taken under authority assigned by 14 CFR 385.12(k)(1),
and is effective immediately.

Action taken by:	Randall D. Bennett, Director

					Office of Aviation Analysis, X-50

					Office of the Secretary
