6. Section 41113 of the Statute requires certificated air carriers to develop and

submit to the Department and the National Transportation Safety Board a plan

("accident plan") to address the needs of families of passengers and other victims

involved in any aircraft accident involving an aircraft of the air carrier and

resulting in major loss of life. Section 41113(c) prohibits the Department from

approving an application for a certificate unless the applicant has filed an accident

plan that meets the requirements of section 41113(b). As a result, the Department

will not be able to issue a final order regarding Marco certification until this

requirement has been met. Therefore we ask that Marco promptly file a copy of

its accident plan in the public docket established for these plans (Docket DOTOST -1996-1960), submit the required copy of this plan to the National

Transportation Safety Board, and, at the same time, file a notice in DOT-OST2013-0104 stating that it has complied with the Accident Plan requirements.

7. Section 243.13 requires each certificated air carrier to file a brief statement

summarizing how it will collect the passenger manifest information and transmit

it to the Department of State following an aviation disaster. If the applicant does

not intend to operate any covered flight segments in the foreseeable future, the

applicant must file a statement so stating and also stating that the applicant will

not operate any covered flight segment unless it has filed the summary required

by section 243.13. Therefore we ask Marco promptly file a copy of its passenger
manifest plan in the public docket established for these plans (Docket DOT -OST1998-3305) and file a statement in DOT-OST-2013-0104 confirming that it has

complied with the requirements of Part 243.
