1. By Notice of Action Taken, issued March 21, 2013, the Department issued 

exemption authority to Atlas to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of property 

and mail between the United States and the People's Republic of China, including 

authority to operate via intermediate points and beyond. Atlas' exemption authority was
