Pursuant to statements submitted by Member airlines of the International Air Transport

Conferences. 

On their behalf, and pursuant to the procedures specified in Order 2012-4-18 (13 April 

2012), I am filing with the Department, in Docket OST-2012-0058, this Notice, the subject 

agreements and supporting documentation. These agreements are Tier 1 agreements tentatively 

exempted by Order 2012-4-18 from Condition #2 to the Department’s approval of the Provisions 

for the Conduct of the IATA Traffic Conferences, which condition requires pre-implementation 

Department review. The intended effective date of the agreements is 10 August 2012. 

The subject agreements amend or establish Resolutions and/or Recommended Practices 

that do not address subject areas which the Department has indicated it still chooses to review 

under Condition #2. The text of the agreements and other conference documentation sent to 

airline Members of IATA accompany this Notice. The cover pages of the documentation clearly 

identify each affected Resolution and/or Recommended Practice and show whether the subject 

agreements are amendments or new agreements. Other pages provide the text of each subject 

agreement. Where an affected Resolution or Recommended Practice has previously been 

exempted from Condition #2 by Department action, the cover pages include the appropriate 

docket and order number. The cover pages include a summary to explain the nature and purpose
