On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the Department's regulations, we found the applicant

qualified to provide the exemption services authorized.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 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 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 effectiveness.
