**APPLICATION OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC. FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION AUTHORITY** 

American Airlines, Inc. under 49 USC 40l09 and l4 CFR
Part 377, hereby applies for renewal of its exemption, initially
granted by Notice of Action Taken in this docket on June 11,
2009, authorizing scheduled foreign air transportation of
persons, property, and mail to points in Argentina on a codeshare basis to the full extent permitted by Article 5 of the
United States-Argentina Protocol of March 22, 2007. American is
using this authority to display the AA* code on flights operated
by Lan Argentina.
American invokes the automatic extension provisions of
the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 USC 558(c), as implemented
by l4 CFR Part 377. The exemption would expire on June 11, 2011
absent this renewal application, which is timely under l4 CFR
377.l0(c) since it is filed more than 60 days in advance.- 2 -

Grant of American's renewal application is consistent
with the U.S.-Argentina Protocol and with the public interest,
as the Department found in the initial Notice of Action Taken in
this docket on June 11, 2009.
Respectfully submitted,
