In the matter of:

INTRA-ALASKA CLASS						        DOCKET 14694

SERVICE MAIL RATES						        DOCKET 14695

EQUALIZATION NOTICE OF LARRY’S FLYING SERVICE, INC

Larry’s Flying Service, Inc., an Alaskan carrier currently authorized
to transport United States Mail, hereby gives notice of its intent to
equalize its mail rates to the lowest authorized rates legally in effect
over all routes on its system, either directly or indirectly.

By Order 2004-2-12, the Department of Transportation established a new
linehaul rate for markets where Part 121 bush service is provided by
aircraft certificated by the manufacturer for 19 seats or more on one
flight a week or more.  The language of the Order sets the rate “for
markets where a carrier scheduling and operating at least one round trip
a week with Part 121 aircraft in passenger service qualifies for the
carriage of mail”.  This language establishes a single lawful rate for
each market, and appears to obviate the need for any sort of
equalization notice.   None-the-less, with an abundance of caution,
Larry’s Flying Service, Inc. hereby gives notice of its equalization
to the lowest lawful rate in any market where it operates service.

Larry’s Flying Service, Inc. equalizes its rates to the lowest rate,
or combination of rates, applicable in the markets it serves directly or
by connection at an intermediate point.

Equalization under this notice is effective immediately, and is
effective for an indefinite period.  This notice will remain in effect
until terminated by written notice filed at least ten days in advance.

Whereas Larry’s Flying Service, Inc. gives this notice of equalization
of its mail rates, Larry’s Flying Service, Inc requests equitable
tender and full tender of bypass mail pursuant to the provisions of the
Rural Service Improvement Act and the practices and procedures of the
Department of Transportation and the United States Postal Service.

Respectfully submitted,

,

Secretary Treasurer
