**[Public Notice: 7760]**

**U.S. Department of State Advisory Committee on Private International**  **Law (ACPIL): Notice of Public Meeting of Its Study Group on the Hague**  **Convention on Choice of Court Agreements** 

The Office of the Assistant Legal Adviser for Private International Law, Department of State, hereby gives notice of a public meeting of the ACPIL Study Group on the Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements. The meeting will take place on Monday, March 5, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., at the main State Department building (Harry S Truman Building). This is not a meeting of the full Advisory Committee.

The Study Group will meet to discuss the draft federal legislation that has been developed to implement the Convention. It is proposed that the Convention would be implemented through a ‘‘cooperative federalism’’ approach whereby states could elect to enact a uniform state act, which would apply in that state in lieu of the federal
statute.

Key issues to be discussed include: the scope of federal court jurisdiction in actions brought to recognize or enforce the judgment of a foreign chosen court; provisions on the statute of limitations for bringing recognition/enforcement actions; and whether to prescribe the basis for quasi in rem jurisdiction in recognition/enforcement actions. Participants may comment also on other provisions of the draft federal legislation.

Prior to the Study Group meeting, we will send out the latest federal and state drafts to all those who indicate that they intend to attend the meeting or participate by telephone or who otherwise express an interest in commenting on the draft federal text. Those who cannot attend but wish to comment are welcome to do so by email to Keith Loken at lokenk@state.gov.

Time and Place: The meeting will take place in Room 1406, Harry S Truman Building, 2201 C Street NW., Washington, DC 20520. Participants should plan to arrive by 12:30 p.m. for visitor screening. If you are unable to attend the public meeting and would like to participate from a remote location, teleconferencing will be available.

Public Participation: This study group meeting is open to the public, subject to the capacity of the meeting room. Access to the building is strictly controlled. For pre-clearance purposes, those planning to attend should phone

This notice is published pursuant to 14 CFR 11.85.

Issued in Washington, DC, on January 27,
2012. Rebecca B. MacPherson, Assistant Chief Counsel for Regulations. Petition for Exemption

Docket No.: FAA–2012–0089. Petitioner: Sun Country Airlines. Section of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR 93.123(a).

Description of Relief Sought: Sun Country Airlines requests an exemption from the slot limit for Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) set forth in § 93.123(a), to permit the FAA to create air carrier slots during certain limited hours for Sun Country’s use. The proposed air carrier slots would replace two slot exemptions under DOT Order 2010–12–16 awarded to Sun Country. On January 6, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the DOT Order, and Sun Country will lose its existing service between DCA and Lansing’s Capital Region International Airport. Specifically, Sun Country desires one daily slot during each of the 1000 and 1100 hours. The proposed exemption would permit Sun Country to continue operating its existing services and avoid an inequitable result of the Court’s order.
