NOTICE INVITING APPLICATIONS

Fourteen frequencies are currently available for allocation to U.S. carriers, for immediate 

use, to provide scheduled all-cargo services to any point or points in Brazil. In addition, 

following our recent actions allocating frequencies for all-cargo services, six U.S.-Brazil 

all-cargo frequencies remain available for allocation for operations beginning October 1, 

2011, and 11 remain available for allocation for operations beginning October 1, 2012.1

Applications

By this Notice we invite U.S. air carriers to file applications for these scheduled all-cargo 

frequencies.

2

 Since the 14 frequencies currently available for immediate use were not 

included in our April 6, 2011 Notice Inviting Applications, carriers that were allocated 

frequencies in response to that Notice may use this opportunity to request substitution of 

frequencies, as well as additional frequencies.

3

 

All applications should conform to Part 302, Subpart C, of our regulations (14 CFR Part 

302) and be filed with the U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, 

S.E., West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Washington, D.C. 20590.4 

Applicants are instructed to submit a courtesy copy via electronic mail to the following 

email addresses: Brett.Kruger@dot.gov and Esta.Rosenberg@dot.gov. Applications 

should include, at a minimum, the points in the United States, Brazil, and third countries 

to be served; whether the applicant is seeking frequencies available immediately, 

frequencies available in 2011, frequencies available in 2012, or a combination of the 

availability dates; whether the frequencies being requested here are in substitution for, or 

 1 See Notice of Action Taken dated May 13, 2011, in Dockets DOT-OST-2011-0083 and DOT-OST-2011-

0084, in which we allocated to Amerijet International, Inc. (Amerijet) three frequencies for services 

beginning immediately and four frequencies for services beginning October 2011; and to Kalitta Air, LLC 

(Kalitta) four frequencies for services beginning October 2011 and three frequencies for services beginning 

October 2012.

2 Carriers should request underlying economic authority (certificate/exemption) to the extent necessary.

3 We will also place a copy of this Notice in Dockets DOT-OST-2011-0083 and DOT-OST-2011-0084, 

respectively, as we incorrectly stated in the May 13, 2011 Notice of Action Taken that no frequencies are 

available for immediate all-cargo services. 4 Filings should be on 8-1/2” X 11” white paper using dark ink (not green) and be unbound without tabs,

which will expedite use of our docket imaging system. In the alternative, filers are encouraged to use the

electronic submission capability available through the Federal Dockets Management System internet site

(http://www.regulations.gov) by following the instructions on that web site.

in addition to, frequencies awarded by our Notice of Action Taken of May 13, 2011; the

number of weekly frequencies requested for each of the proposed services; the proposed

start-up date(s); the type of service proposed (year-round or seasonal); and the type of

aircraft to be used, its capacity, and the availability of that aircraft. For all of the 

proposed services applications should indicate any variation of frequencies/routings by 

traffic season, if applicable. Applicants should state the minimum number of frequencies 

they are willing to accept; prioritize multiple requests, where applicable; and include a 

statement as to whether the applicant would use the authority granted if the Department 

grants only a portion of the request. Applicants may submit any additional information 

that they believe will help us in awarding the subject authority.

We will serve this Notice by electronic mail on certificated U.S. carriers operating large 

aircraft, Amerijet International Inc., Kalitta Air, LLC, the U.S. Department of State 

(Office of Aviation Negotiations), the Federal Aviation Administration (AFS-200), and 

the Ambassador of the Federative Republic of Brazil.
