In the Matter of

U.S.-Brazil All-Cargo Frequencies and Designation

Docket OST-2000-7559

________________________________

						Served:  December 18, 2000

Notice Revising Procedural Schedule

By Notice, served November 24, 2000, the Department set the procedural
schedule for new entrant applicants in the above captioned proceeding,
requiring that applications be filed on December 7, 2000, that answers
to applications be filed on December 19, 2000, and that replies to
answers to applications be filed on December 27, 2000.  Gemini Air
Cargo, Atlas Air, and Evergreen International are the only applicants to
this proceeding.

By letter dated December 11, 2000, Gemini Air Cargo requests the
Department to extend the due date for replies to Friday, January 5,
2001.  Gemini states that the extension is necessary because persons
needed to prepare the reply are unavailable during the Christmas holiday
period just prior to the present deadline and that the brief delay
requested will not prejudice the public since it will have little effect
on the date when the recipient of the fourth designation will be able to
introduce service to Brazil.  Counsel for Gemini further states that
Atlas Air and Evergreen International, the other applicants in this
proceeding, support the request for the reasons stated.

Inasmuch as all parties support the requested extension and the
requested deadline is for a short time period that will not prejudice
the public interest, we will extend the period for the filing of Replies
in the above-referenced proceeding to January 5, 2001.  



We will serve this Notice on all parties to this proceeding by
facsimile.
