1 UPS also requests that the U.S. Government select Poland as an additional country for fifth

- freedom all

- cargo services , in place of

Thailand

, under the October 19, 2002 Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Hong Kong. UPS states that it

will use the requested frequencies to provide five weekly all

- cargo flight s on a Louisville

- Cologne

- Warsaw

- Hong Kong routing,

which may vary seasonally. UPS had previously requested that we designate Thailand for fifth

- freedom all

- cargo services but is no

longer providing such services

, and no other carrier is using the allocations for service between Hong Kong and Thailand.

2 Under the Mem orandum of Understanding between the United States and Hong Kong, U.S. all

- cargo carriers are limited to a total of

64 weekly fifth

- freedom frequencies. With our action here, 6 frequencies remain available for allocation, and one weekly frequency

remains a vailable under the Hong Kong

- Poland point cap of seven frequencies.U nd e r t h i s do r m ancy cond i t i on, i f any f r eq u ency a l l oc a t ed h e r e i s not u sed f or a pe r i od of 90 da y s ( once i n au g u r a t ed
