Enclosed is Harris Aircraft Services, Inc. response to Order Requesting Proposals, 

Docket OST-1999-6244 providing weekly service to the community of Port Alexander, 

Alaska. 

Harris Aircraft Services, Inc. is located in Sitka, Alaska. Harris Aircraft Services has 

provided essential air service to Port Alexander for the last ten years. We have 

performed the service in an efficient and safe manner. Harris Aircraft Services has 

worked hard to accommodate and develop a good working relationship with the traveling 

community members of Port Alexander. 

Harris Aircraft Services is submitting a proposal for the same frequency as in the last two 

years. We have increased the seat fare from $H5 to $125.59. Three basic factors have 

caused the seat fare rate and subsidy request to increase. The overall expenses have 

slightly increased in the last two years, overall flight hours have decreased, and the 

number of passengers traveled has decreased in the last two years. The seat fare is stiH a 

very reasonable rate considering the distance and equipment used. 

We welcof!1e any opportunity for further discussion in regards to this proposal. You may 

contact Scott Harris or Mark Hackett at (907) 966-3050. 

Sincerely,

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION 

1. By signing and/or submitting this application or grant agreement, the subsidized essential air service 

carrier is providing the certification. 

2. The certification is a materia I representation of fact upon which reliance is placed when the agency 

awards the subsidy. If it is later determined that the subsidized carrier knowingly rendered a false 

certification, or otherwise violated the requirements of the Drug-Free Workplace Act, the agency, in 

addition to any other remedies available to the Federal Government, may take action authorized under 

the Drug-Free Workplace Act. 

3. Workplaces under grant<>, for grantees other than individuals, need not be identified on the 

certification. If known, they may be identified in the subsidy application. If the subsidized carrier docs 

not identify the workplaces at the time of application, or upon award if there is no application, the 

carrier must keep the identity of the workplaces on file in its office and make the infonnation available 

for Federal inspection. Failure to identify all known workplaces constitutes a violation of the 

subsidized carrier's drug-free workplace requirements. 

4. Workplace identifications must include the actual addres.<; of buildings (or parts of buildings) or 

other sites where work under the grant takes place. Categorical descriptions may be used (e.g., all 

counters at the airports served by the carrier). 

5. If the workplace identified to the agency changes during the performance of the subsidized service, 

the subsidized carrier shall inform the agency of the change, if it previously identified the workplace in 

question. 

6. Definitions of terms in the Nonprocurement Suspension and Debarment common rule (49 CFR Part 

29) and Drug-Free Workplace common rule (49 CFR Part 29, Subpart F) apply to this certification. 

Carriers' attention is called, in particular, to the following definitions from these rules: 

Controlled substance means a controlled substance in Schedules l through V of the Controlled 

Substances Act (21 USC 812) and as further defined by regulation (21 CFR 1308.11 through 1308.15); 

Conviction means a finding of guilt (including a plea of nolo contendere) or imposition of sentence, or 

both, by any judicial body charged with the responsibility to determine violations of the Federal or 

State criminal drug statutes; 

Criminal drug statute means a Federal or non-Federal criminal statute involving the manufacture, 

distribution, dispensing, use, or possession of any controlled substance; 

Employee means the employee of a subsidized carrier directly engaged in the performance of work 

supported by the subsidy, including: (i) All direct charge employees; (ii) All indirect charge 

employees unles..<; their impact or involvement is insignificant to the performance of subsidized service; 

and (iii) Temporary personnel and consultants who are directly engaged in the performance of work 

supported by the subsidy and who are on the subsidized carrier's payroll. This definition does not 

include workers not on the payroll of the subsidized carrier (e.g., volunteers, even if used to meet a 

matching requirement; consultants or independent contractors not on the subsidized carrier's payroll; or 

employees of subrecipients or subcontractors in covered workplaces).
