Under the U.S.

scheduled all

- cargo service at Mexico City (Benito Juarez). With our action here, and our concurrent action on the application of Centurion Air Cargo, Inc. in Docket DOT

On the basis of data officia lly noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the Department's regulations, we found the applicant qualified to provide the exemption services authorized.

1 Atlas previously held exemption authority in this Docket to serve the subject markets; however, that authority expired on November 10, 2012. Atlas requests that we reissue its authority in the instant Docket.Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR Part 385, we found that (1) our

action wa s consistent with Department policy; (2) grant of the authority was consistent with the public interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975. To the extent not granted, we denied all requests in the referenced

Docket. We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set forth i n this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR §385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date of issuance of this Notice. This action was effective when taken, and the filing of a petition for review will

not alter such e ffectiveness.
