In reference to Docket DOT-OST-2010-0235

Application of Star Marianas Air, Inc. for Commuter Authority

Dear Ms. Remo,

I am writing in response to the email correspondence from Ms. Catherine O’Toole received on June 3

rd

wherein additional financial information was requested in relation to Star Marianas Air, Inc’s request for 

Commuter Authority. I have reproduced the request from the email and included the response to the

request below and in attachments to this letter.

1. “Attachment 5 of Star’s May 27, 2011, amendment to its application for commuter authorization indicates that first year costs will be approximately $2.19 million. Based on 

this forecast, we estimate that it will require about $541,987 to meet our financial fitness criteria. Star’s application shows it has less than this amount available to meet the 

Department’s financial fitness test. Please provide information on how Star will provide 

the required funding to support its operations. In addition, provide third-party verification of cash deposits or all lines-of-credit available to support Star’s proposed operations. This verification should include the total line-of-credit being made available, the

amount such credit line has been drawn down to date, any conditions that must be met 

before funds will be advanced, the terms of repayment, and the expiration date. Further, if the line-of-credit is being supplied by an individual or organization (other than a 

recognized financial institution) copies of the personal or corporate financial statements 

of the individual or organization should also be provided.”

Response: See Attachments Number 1 (Bank of Saipan – Bank Certification of Account),

Number 2 (First Hawaiian Bank – Bank Certification of Account), and Attachment 3 (Bank of

Guam – Bank Certification of Account).
