NOTICE OF TIER 1 AGREEMENTS FILING

Pursuant to statements submitted by Member airlines of the International Air Transport

Association (IATA), the undersigned has been constituted to be their attorney‐in‐fact for filing

with the Department of Transportation copies of agreements adopted by the IATA Traffic

Conferences.

On their behalf, and pursuant to the procedures specified in Order 2012‐4‐18 (13 April

2012), I am filing with the Department, in Docket OST‐2012‐0058, this Notice, the subject

agreements and supporting documentation.  These agreements are Tier 1 agreements

tentatively exempted by Order 2012‐4‐18 from Condition #2 to the Department’s approval of

the Provisions for the Conduct of the IATA Traffic Conferences, which condition requires pre‐

implementation Department review.  The intended effective date of the agreements is 1 August

2012.  

The subject agreements amend or establish Resolutions and/or Recommended Practices

that do not address subject areas which the Department has indicated it still chooses to review

under Condition #2.  The text of the agreements and other conference documentation sent to

airline Members of IATA accompany this Notice.   The cover pages of the documentation clearly

identify each affected Resolution and/or Recommended Practice and show whether the subject

agreements are amendments or new agreements.  Other pages provide the text of each subject

agreement. Where an affected Resolution or Recommended Practice has previously been

exempted from Condition #2 by Department action, the cover pages include the appropriate
- 2 - 

docket and order number.  The cover pages include a summary to explain the nature and

purpose of the subject amendments and/or agreements.

Respectfully submitted,

  /s/  Douglas Lavin
