BEFORE THE

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

WASHINGTON, D.C.

Application of

JETSTAR JAPAN CO., LTD.

for an exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301

and for a Statement of Authorization under

14 C.F.R. § 212

(Codeshare with American Airlines)

Docket No. DOT-OST-2014-0176

MOTION OF

JETSTAR JAPAN CO., LTD.

FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4) and 14 C.F.R. § 302.12, Jetstar

Japan Co., Ltd., a foreign air carrier of Japan, requests that the U.S. Department

of Transportation withhold from public disclosure as confidential information the

Balance Sheets and Profit and Loss Statements for its fiscal years ending 30

June 2013 and 30 June 2014, that Jetstar Japan is submitting as Confidential

Exhibit C in support of its Application for an Exemption and a Statement of

Authorization that was submitted in the above docket on October 1, 2014. Public

disclosure of Jetstar Japan's financial information is not required to promote

competition or the public interest.

Such confidential financial information is protected from public disclosure

under Section 552(b)(4) of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). To be

withheld from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act and DOT
MOTION OF JETSTAR JAPAN CO., LTD. Page 2

FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

Rule 12, documents must contain information that is (1) commercial or financial;

(2) obtained from a person outside of government; and (3) privileged or

confidential. The financial statements in question contain both commercial and

financial information whose source is an entity outside of the U.S. Government,

i.e., Jetstar Japan. Most importantly, Jetstar Japan’s financial data consists of

commercially sensitive material that Jetstar Japan does not disclose to the

public. See, e.g., Gulf & Western Industries, Inc. v. United States, 615 F.2d 527

(D.C. Cir. 1979); National Parks and Conservation Assoc. v. Morton, 498 F.2d

765, 770 (D.C. Cir. 1974); Critical Mass Energy Project v. NRC, 975 F.2d 871

(D.C. Cir. 1992). Public release of this information would result in competitive

injury to Jetstar Japan

For the foregoing reasons, and consistent with the applicable law and the

Department’s policies for information of this nature, the Department should grant

the Motion of Jetstar Japan Co., Ltd., for Confidential Treatment of the financial

information identified above.

Respectfully submitted,
