1 UPS states that it will use the frequency to serve the United States and Shanghai via Dubai and Cologne one time per week. Shanghai is in China Zone 1. UPS states that it plans to commence service on September 20, 2010.

2 The current request of UPS for one all-cargo frequency to serve between the United States and China Zone 1 and China Zone 2 will leave a total of eight U.S.-China Zone 1 and Chin a Zone 2 all-cargo frequencies available for allocation. We note that frequency and designation limitations will no longer be applicable to scheduled all-cargo operations effective March 25, 2011.Under authority assigned by the Department in its regul ations, 14 CFR Part 385, we found that (1) our action was 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 in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR §385.30, may file their petitions with in 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 effectiveness.
