Dear Mr. Origel: 

We have completed our review of the additional information sent on October 5,2010, by 

Jet-A, LLC ("Jet-A"), for the determination of its fitness to conduct interstate charter air 

transportation. 

This review has revealed the need for additional and/or clarifying information before we 

can complete processing of Jet-A's application. The attached Information Request lists 

the areas where further and/or clarification information is necessary. I ask that you 

respond fully to this request within 30 days of the date of this letter. You may upload 

your response via the web at www.regulations.gov, or you may mail the original plus 

6 copies of your response to U.S. Department of Transportation Dockets, West Building, 

Ground Floor, W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, D.C. 20590. In 

either case, your response should be filed in Docket DOT-OST-201O-0120. 

As is the Depaltment's practice, further processing of Jet-A's application will be deferred 

pending receipt of this material. In addition, please remember that Jet-A should promptly 

provide the Depaltment with any information regarding changes it may undergo in areas 

affecting its fitness (i.e., management, operating plans or financial condition, compliance 

disposition, or ownership) while its application is under review by the Department. 

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions regarding this 

letter or the requested information, please feel free to contact me at (202) 366-9721.

INFORMATION REQUEST 

JET-A, LLC 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

1. Section 41113 of the Statute requires certificated air calTiers to develop and 

submit to the Department and the National Transportation Safety Board a plan 

("accident plan") to address the needs of families of passengers and other victims 

involved in any aircraft accident involving an aircraft of the air calTier and 

resulting in major loss of life. Section 41113( c) prohibits the Department from 

approving an application for a certificate unless the applicant has filed an accident 

plan that meets the requirements of section 41113(b). As a result, the Department 

will not be able to issue a final order regarding Jet-A's certification until this 

requirement has been met. Therefore we ask that Jet-A promptly file a copy of its 

accident plan in the public docket established for these plans (Docket DOT -OST1996-1960), submit the required copy of this plan to the National Transportation 

Safety Board, and, at the same time, file a notice in Docket DOT-OST-2010-0120 

stating that it has complied with the Accident Plan requirements. 

2. Section 243.13 requires each certificated air calTier to file a brief statement 

summarizing how it will collect the passenger manifest information and transmit 

it to the Department of State following an aviation disaster. If the applicant does 

not intend to operate any covered flight segments in the foreseeable future, the 

applicant must file a statement so stating and also stating that the applicant will 

not operate any covered flight segment unless it has filed the summary required 

by section 243.13. Therefore we ask Jet-A promptly file a copy of its passenger 

manifest plan in the public docket established for these plans (Docket DOT -OST1998-3305) and file a statement in DOT-OST-2010-0120 confirming that it has 

complied with the requirements of Part 243.
