Docket OST-2009-0006 

APPLICATION OF UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO. 

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION AUTHORITY 

United Parcel Service Co. ("UPS"), pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 40109 and Part 302.301 

et seq. ofthe Procedural Regulations of the Department of Transportation (the 

"Department" or the "DOT"), hereby applies for renewal of its exemption authority 

authorizing UPS to engage in the scheduled foreign air transportation of cargo and mail 

between a point or points in the United States and a point or points in the People's 

Republic of China, via intermediate points, and beyond to any points outside China. The 

DOT originally granted the authority for the above route in the Notice of Action Taken 

issued on January 16,2009 in the above-referenced docket. 

In accordance with Section 302.302 of the Department's rules, UPS submits the 

following information in support of this Application: 

1. UPS's authority to provide foreign air transportation of cargo and mail 

between points in the United States and any point or points in China was issued by Notice 

of Action Taken on January 16,2009, which provided UPS exemption authority for two 

years, through January 16,2011. 
Application for Renewal 

OST-2009-0006 

Page20f3 

2. The same factors which warranted the grant of the original exemption 

remain applicable and warrant the grant of this renewal. UPS is a Delaware corporation 

whose mailing address is 1400 Hurstboume Parkway, Louisville, Kentucky 40223. UPS 

holds certificates of public convenience and necessity authorizing it to engage in 

domestic and foreign all-cargo air transportation. UPS continues to be a citizen of the 

United States and is fit, willing and able to provide the above-described transportation. 

3. UPS requests that the authority continue for two years from the 

Department's final grant of authority requested herein UPS, or until such time as the 

DOT renews and amends UPS's Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for 

Route 797. (See Application of United Parcel Service Co. for Renewal and Amendment 

of Certificate Authority, OST -2009-6323, Sept. 25, 2005). 

4. In accordance with Section 377.10(c) of the Department's rules, this 

renewal application is timely filed prior to the expiration date of the authority at issue. 

5. UPS relies upon the Administrative Procedure Act, specifically, 5 U.S.C. 

558(c), which provides that UPS's existing exemption shall not expire until the instant 

Application has been finally determined by the Department because the existing 

exemption authorizes "an activity of a continuing nature" within the meaning of that 

provision.

WHEREFORE, United Parcel Service Co. respectfully requests that the 

Department of Transportation grant the exemption renewal as described above and grant 

such other further relief as may be just and necessary.
