SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

10, 2006, Hawaiian Airlines, the only 

airline currently providing scheduled 

passenger service between American 

Samoa and another U.S. State or 

territory, filed a petition asking for a 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
54326 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 178 / Thursday, September 14, 2006 / Notices 

declaratory order regarding an Executive 

Order issued by the Honorable Togiola 

T.A. Tulafono, the Governor of 

American Samoa, that proposed to block 

Hawaiian from continuing to serve 

American Samoa. Governor Tulafono 

has been dissatisfied with the quality 

and price of Hawaiian’s service. His 

executive order, issued July 26, 2006, 

stated that American Samoa intends to 

find another airline to replace 

Hawaiian’s service and that he will 

issue a second executive order barring 

Hawaiian from continuing to operate to 

American Samoa when another airline 

is ready to replace Hawaiian’s service 

between Pago Pago and Honolulu. 

Hawaiian’s petition, filed in Docket 

OST–2006–25612, contends that the 

Governor may not lawfully block 

Hawaiian from serving the HonoluluPago Pago market. Hawaiian’s petition 

thus presents the question of whether 

Federal law will allow the Governor to 

take the action proposed by his 

Executive Order, or will prohibit him 

from doing so. 

Because we were unwilling to rule on 

Hawaiian’s petition without making 

sure that American Samoa had a full 

opportunity to respond to the petition, 

and because no one submitted 

comments in response to Hawaiian’s 

petition, we published a notice inviting 

American Samoa and all other 

interested persons to submit comments 

on the petition. Comments were due 

September 15, and reply comments 

were due September 22, 2006. 71 FR 

52205 (September 1, 2006). 

On August 30, the Governor of 

American Samoa sent a letter to Susan 

McDermott, the Deputy Assistant 

Secretary for Aviation and International 

Affairs, requesting that at least sixty 

days, and preferably ninety days, be 

allowed for submitting comments on 

Hawaiian’s petition. The Governor 

stated that the issues presented by 

Hawaiian’s petition could not be 

adequately addressed within a fourteenday comment period. He suggested that 

the comment period in this proceeding 

should reflect the procedures used in 

rulemaking proceedings, where sixtyday comment periods are common. We 

have placed a copy of the Governor’s 

letter in the docket for this proceeding 

and sent a copy to Hawaiian. Hawaiian 

states that it does not object to a sixtyday comment period. 

We will establish a comment period 

of sixty days, as the Governor has 

requested. Comments therefore will be 

due sixty days after the September 1 

publication of our initial Federal 

Register notice. This will give the 

parties ample time for preparing their 

responses to Hawaiian’s petition. We 

will also give parties two additional 

weeks for filing reply comments. 

The parties’ submissions thus far 

suggest that we should provide some 

guidance on the procedural 

requirements for this proceeding. 

Because Hawaiian is requesting a 

declaratory order regarding its 

individual dispute with the Governor, 

this proceeding is an adjudication, not 

a rulemaking. As such, it is subject to 

our rules for adjudicatory proceedings 

where no oral evidentiary hearing is 

held, 14 CFR 302.1 through 302.15. In 

adjudications, fundamental principles 

of fairness require that each party must 

serve the other parties whenever it 

submits its views to us on substantive 

or procedural issues. As a result, 

Hawaiian, the Governor, and the other 

parties must send all of their future 

filings directly to the docket for this 

proceeding and must simultaneously 

serve the other parties (at this time, the 

parties consist of Hawaiian and the 

Governor). While we sent a copy of 

Hawaiian’s petition to the Governor and 

then forwarded the Governor’s request 

for more time to Hawaiian, in the future 

each party is responsible for ensuring 

that it has sent a copy of any written 

request or pleading to the other parties.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Aviation and 

International Affairs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 

Aviation Investment and Reform Act for 

the 21st Century (AIR 21), Public Law 

10–181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this 

notice must be published in the Federal 

Register 30 days before the Secretary of 

Transportation may waive any 

condition imposed on a federally 

obligated airport by the assurances in 

grant agreements. 

Brief Overview of the Request 

The City of Banning requested a 

release from the conditions and 

restrictions in applicable grant 

agreements with the United States for 

approximately 20 acres of undeveloped 

airport land obligated for airport 

purposes at Banning Municipal Airport, 

Banning, California. The 20-acre parcel 

is not being used for airport purposes 

and is not needed for future airport 

development. The land is located on the 

south side of the airport and is 

separated from the developed area on 

the west side of the airport. The parcel 

was acquired with an Airport 

Improvement Grant in September 1983. 

The property has remained vacant and 

undeveloped since its acquisition. It has 

been determined that the property will 

not be used for airport development and 

is, therefore, not needed for airport 

purposes. In accordance with Assurance 

31, Disposal of Land, land that was 

acquired with a grant for airport 

development will be disposed of at fair 

market value when the land is no longer
