Federal Express Corporation (Federal Express) hereby submits this motion to withhold from public disclosure certain information contained in its Amended Form 41, Schedule B-7, Airframe and Aircraft Engine Acquisitions and Retirements Reportfor the Quarter ended December 31,2014.

Byletters dated August 23, 1994 and June 5, 1995, Mr. James W. Mitchell, former Director, Office ofAirline Statistics, Research and Special Programs Administration, granted the motions ofDeltaAir Lines, Inc. and American Airlines, Inc., respectively, for confidential treatment ofinformation that is substantially the same as that for whichFedEx Express seeks confidential treatment here. Acting under delegated authority, Mr. Mitchell determined on behalfofthe Departmentthat the aircraft cost information contained in Schedules B-7 and B-43 is confidential and competitively sensitive. He concluded that Exemptions 3 and 4 ofthe Freedom ofInformationAct (5 U.S.C. 

### § 552(b)(3) and (4)) authorize the Departmentto withhold this fmancial information. Further, he**~led** that the Department should deny public access to this confidential financial information for tenyears. The Bureau confirmed its finding of competitive sensitivity in 2004. 69 Fed. Reg. 62309 (October 25, 2004). Forthe reasons stated in those letters, the Department should also grant confidential treatment to the data submitted under seal with this motion for at least ten years.
2. United Parcel Service Company and United Air Lines soughtfurther extension ofthe confidential**peri~d** in 2004. The Bureau soughtpublic comment on their requests in Docket BTS- 2004-19380.
