The foregoing list is based on Notice ofAction Taken, April 16, 2008, as subsequently amended on December 3, 2008 (adding Orlando-Mexico City and San Francisco-Puerto Vallarta). The same expiration date ofApril 16, 2010 was established for both actions. Renewal is fully consistent with the U.S.-MexicoAir Transport Agreement, as amended, and with the public interest. See Statement of United States InternationalAir Transportation Policy, 60 Fed. Reg. 21841, 21842, May 3, 1995, recognizing the publicbenefits offeredby codeshare arrangements between U.S. and foreign carriers. In response to the Department's letter of June 1, 1995 to participants in the Civil ReserveAir Fleet Program, American states that the codeshare arrangement at issue here has no impact onAmerican's CRAF commitments. In response to the Department's notice ofAugust 23, 2005 on streamlining regulatory procedures (DOT-OST-2005­ 22228), American has requested corresponding certificate authority for its U.S.-Mexico exemption authority. See application for amended certificate of public convenience and necessity, August 26, 2005 (DOT-OST-2000-8516). We urge expedited approval of that application to avoid the need for successive renewals in exemption dockets.- 4 ­
