of the US A Department of Transportation (“DOT”)

, Air Charter Scotland Ltd. (“ ACSL ” or

“Applicant”) hereby respectfully submits its applic ation for a r enewal of its e xemption a uthority,

which authority was issued by the DOT pursuant to the above

- captioned docket on May 11, 2012 (the

“ ACSL Exemption”); to the extent necessary to permit ACSL to continue to enjoy the privileges of

the ACSL Exem ption beyond its current expiration of May 11 , 2014; specifically to engage in on

demand foreign air transportation of persons and property between the United Kingdom (“UK”) and

the United States of America (“USA”) (collectively, the “ ACSL Exemption Renewa l”)

. This ACSL

Exemption Renewal is requested on the basis that the operations to be performed are bilaterally

authorized by the route descriptions contained within the EU

– US Open Skies Agreement. ACSL

respectfully requests a two year renewal pursuant to this ACSL Exemption Renewal.

In support of its application and pursuant to the Department's Procedural Regulations,

ACSL submits the following information:

1. ACSL requests that this ACSL Exemption Renewal be processed by expedited and non

- hea ring

procedures.

2. ACSL invokes the automatic extension provision of Section 5 of the Administrative Procedures

Act, at 5 USC 558(c), as implemented by Part 377 of DOT’s rules, to continue the ACSL

Exemption in force pending final D OT action on its ACSL Exem ption Renewal at issue herein.

3. The United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority continues to be the gov ernment air transport

authority, with the same address as appeared in the original ACSL application (the “Original

Application”) for the ACSL Exemption.

4. A l l matter s defined in the O riginal Application remain unchanged, and the authority soughtPage 3 of 5 pursuant to the ACSL Exemption remains the same.

5. Because of the limited scope of its o perations, the issuance to Applicant of a n ACSL Exemption

Renewal will not con stitute a "major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment" within the meaning of §102(2) (c) of the National Environmental Policy

Act or a "major regulatory action" under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act.

6. This will continue to affirm that no financial assistance has been received by ACSL from its

government; nor is it expected.

7. In the preceding five years the Applicant has not been involved in any safety or tariff violations

or any fatal accidents.

WHEREFORE, Air Ch arter Scotland Ltd. respectfully requests that DOT issue to ACSL its

ACSL Exemption Renewal , to the extent necessary, to authorize it to engage in on

- demand foreig n

air transportation of persons and property between a point or points in the United Kingdom

, on the

one hand, and a point or points in the USA , on the other hand, or such other or different relief as may

be proper.
