The exemption authority granted to Delta is limited to services provided on a code-share basis only.

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

action was consistent 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

application. We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this Notice at any time without

hearing at our discretion.

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
