All Nippon Airways Co., Ldt.

Docket OST-98-4653

--------------------------------------------------------------

Notice Extending Procedural Dates

By application filed August 4, 2003, All Nippon Airways requested
renewal of its exemption authority to engage in intermodal cargo
services between any U.S. points as authorized by its foreign air
carrier permit and any other point in the United States.  Federal
Express Corporation submitted an answer to the application.

On August 25, 2003, All Nippon Airways filed a motion requesting an
extension of the period for filing a reply from August 28, 2003, to
September 15, 2003.  All Nippon Airways states that Federal Express, the
only carrier filing an answer to its application, has no objection to
the extension of the reply date as proposed.

As the delay requested is of short duration and the carrier filing the
answer has concurred in the extension, we have decided to grant All
Nippon Airway's request to extend the reply date in this matter. 

Therefore, acting under authority assigned to the Director, Office of
International Aviation, 14 CFR Part 385, we establish a date of
September 15, 2003, for the filing of replies to Federal Express’
answer in the above-captioned docket.

	Paul L. Gretch, Director

	Office of International Aviation

Dated: August 27, 2003
