Conditions: Any service provided under the route integration authority granted shall be consistent with all applicable agreements between the United States and the foreign countries involved. Furthermore, (a) nothing in the award of the route integration authority requested should be construed as confer ring upon FWIA rights (including fifth

- freedom intermediate and /or beyond rights) to serve markets where U.S. carrier entry is limited unless FWIA notifies the Department of its intent to serve such a market and unless and until the Department has comple ted any necessary carrier selection procedures to determine which carrier(s) should be authorized to exercise such rights; and (b) should there be a request by any

carrier to use the limited

- entry route rights that are included in FWIA’s authority by virtu e of the route integration exemption granted here, but that are not then being used by FWIA, the holding of such authority by route integration will not be considered as providing any preference for FWIA in acompetitive carrier selection proceeding to det ermine which carrier(s) should be entitled to use the authority at issue.

To the extent not granted, we denied all requests in the referenced

Docket. We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this Notice at any time without

hea ring at our discretion.
