_____________________________________________________________________________________ Standard exemption conditions (attached)

On the basis of data officially n oticeable under Rule 24(g) of the Department's regu lations, we found the applicant qualified to provide the exemption services authorized.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR Part 385, we found that (1) our action

was con sistent with Department policy; (2) grant of the authority was consistent with the public interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975. To the extent not grant ed, we denied all requests in the referenced Docket. We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our

discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set forth in thi s Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR §385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date of issuance of this Notice. This action was effective when taken, and the filing of a petition for review will not

alter such effect iveness.

1 US Airways does not seek renewal of its exemption authority to serve between the United States, on the one hand, and Trinidad & Tobago, and Curacao and Bonair e , Netherlands Antilles, on the other hand, because this authority is now encompassed in its blanket open skies route authority.
