INTRA ALASKA BUSH MAIL RATES Docket OST-2003-14694 

Under 49 U.S. C. 41901 et seq. 

Bush Quarterly Fuel Adjustment 

Summary 

By this Order, the Department is making its regular quarterly adjustments to the IntraAlaska bush mail rates, Part 121, Part 135, and Seaplane, to reflect the most recent 

quarterly fuel costs. The new rates are to be effective on the second Saturday after the 

issuance of this Order, and reflect fuel expenses for the qu~rter ended March 31, 2012. 

Background 

Order 2012-4-25, April19, 2012, updated two ofthe three intra-Alaska bush mail rates--

Part 121 and Part 135 --and Order 2012-5-27, May 18, 2012, updated the 'Seaplane rate. 

The updates reflected fuel expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. This Order 

is updating all three of those bush mail classes to reflect fuel expenses for the quarter 

ended March 31, 2012, the most recent data available. 

The Department has stated that we would continue quarterly fuel updates until further 

notice. Since the carriers' traffic and financial data are reported 45 days after the end of 

each quarter, our intent and practice has been, in general, to make quarterly adjustments 

with a one-quarter lag from the end of the reporting period until the beginning of the next 

quarter. The table below shows both the current and new mail rates.

Current Rates 

Order 2012-4-25 & Old Fuel New Fuel Percentage 

Class Rate Order 2012-5-27 QE 12-31-11 QE 3-31-12 New Rate Change in Rate 

1 . Terminal $716.16/Ton NA NA $716.16/Ton NA 

2 . Part 121 . $5.9736/RTM $1.2597/RTM $1.3608/RTM $6.0747/RTM 1.69% 

3 . Part 135, Fixed $403.12/Ton 0 0 $403.32/Ton 0.05% 

4 . Part 135, Flexed $8.0986/RTM 0 0 $8.1026/RTM 0.05% 

5 . Seaplane $33. 7425/RTM $6.6227/RTM $10.1097/RTM $37.2295/RTM 10.33% 

As shown in the chart above, the Terminal Rate, Line 1, is unaffected by changes in fuel 

between the current rate and the new rate. For the Part 121 class, Line 2, Column F, there 

is a 1.69% increase in the rate, driven by an 8.03 percent increase between "Old Fuel" and 

"New Fuel," Columns C and D, respectively. 

For the Part 135line-haul, fixed and flexed, Lines 3 and 4, the chart shows a 0.05% 

increase in the rate, or virtually no change between the two quarters. Although "Old Fuel" 

and "New Fuel" for the Fixed and Flexed, Lines 3 and 4, Columns C and D, are not 

shown 1 in the chart above, the change in the rates for each is driven by changes in fuel of 

0.15% between the two quarters, as shown in Appendix B-1. 

For the Seaplane class, Line 5, there is a 10.33% increase in the rate, driven by a 52.65 

percent increase between "Old Fuel" and "New Fuel." 

Discussion 

As stated earlier, our goal is to have mail rates in place approximately one quarter after the 

end of the reporting period. This did not happen last quarter for any class, but especially 

for the Seaplane. Order 2012-4-25 deferred updating the Seaplane rate until we had more 

reliable data from Taquan. It was only when we issued a separate Seaplane rate, Order 

2012-5-27, May 29, 2012, almost two months later than normal, that we had sufficiently 

reliable data from Taquan to issue a rate. We note that Taquan, whose fleet transports 

more Seaplane mail than any other carrier, had the lowest unit costs per revenue ton mile 

(RTM) for any of the bush operators in the quarter ended December 31, 2011, while for 

this period their expenses were the highest for any carrier except Island Air, the expense of 

whose seaplane operations are driven up by the low load factors Island Air experiences in 

its subsidized Kodiak Island service. 

The issue of reliable data has also delayed the issuance of this Order. As background, the 

Office of Airline Information issued a reporting directive on December 1, 2011, directing 

the Alaska bush carriers filing Schedule F-2 to report Total Block Hours on that scheduleregardless of whether those hours were revenue or non-revenue, scheduled or charter. This 

1 That is because of the Part 135 taper, introduced by Orders 2011-6-14,2011-10-3, and 2011-10-4. The 

taper split the Part 135 rate between fixed and flexed elements, and the fixed element is paid on the basis of a 

rate per ton, rather than a rate per ton-mile. Thus we do cannot show the rate per revenue ton mile in the 

chart above for either the old fuel or new fuel for Lines 3 and 4, although, as shown in Appendix B-1, the 

current and new rates do, in fact, reflect changes in fuel expense. 
-3-

format would be more consistent with that filed by the mainline carriers, which are 

required to report total airborne hours on their Schedule P5. 

We continue to rely on Schedule T -100 Block Hours for setting mail rates, and the T -1 00 

report includes only operations in revenue service. Thus mail rates are not directly 

affected by Schedule F2 Block Hours. Nevertheless, a review of the Appendices to this 

Order shows that many carriers have reported T -1 00 Block Hours that exceed their 

Schedule F2 hours. In those instances, reported Revenue Block Hours exceeded the total 

of Revenue Block Hours plus Non-revenue Block Hours, an apparent impossibility. 

Decision 

It is now almost two months after July 1, 2012, the date when rates based on data for the 

quarter ended March 31, 212, should have been issued. It is our policy to make all rates 

final, but that policy is predicated on our having reliable data. Having unreliable data from 

the carriers endangers the premise ofhaving final rates in place, and, indeed, of the entire 

class rate system. The Office of Airline Information will be sending representatives this 

fall to Alaska to work with the carriers on their reporting. We believe that all of these 

problems are short term. As stated in the previous rate Order, Taquan indicated it was 

having problems with an internal computer system, which it has since resolved. The 

problem of many carriers with reporting Schedule F-2 hours has been precipitated by the 

recent reporting directive, on which the carriers have not sufficiently focused. We note 

that we have never used Schedule F-2 hours in computing mail rates, nor do we here. 

Nevertheless, they are a useful cross-check on the accuracy of the carrier's T-100 reports, 

and we expect the carriers to do a better job of reporting this information in the future. 

The next quarterly update would typically be based on data for the quarter ended June 30, 

2012, and be effective on or about October 1, 2012. However, under the circumstances, 

i.e., that the rates established in this Order will not be effective until September 8, 2012, 

we will skip a quarter and the next quarterly fuel update will be based on data for the 

quarter ending September 30, 2012, and be effective on or about January 1, 2013. 

ACCORDINGLY, 

1. We fix, determine and publish the Part 121 rate to be $6.0747 per mail revenue ton mile, 

to be effective on the second Saturday after the service date of this Order; 

2. We fix, determine and publish the Part 135 rate to be $8.1026 per mail revenue ton mile 

plus a fixed charge of$403.32 per mail ton enplaned to be effective on the second 

Saturday after the service date of this Order; 

3. We fix, determine and publish the Seaplane rate to be $37.2295 per mail revenue ton 

mile, to be effective on the second Saturday after the service date of this Order; 

4. The terminal rate will remain fixed at $716.16 per ton enplaned; 

5. This docket shall remain open until further Order of the Department; and 
-4-

6. We will serve this Order upon all parties on the service list for this Docket; 

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of this Order under the Department's 

regulations, 14 CFR 385.30, must file such petitions within ten (1 0) days after the date of 

service of this Order. The filing of a petition for review shall not stay its effectiveness.
