On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the Department's regulations, we found the

applicant qualified to provide the exemption services authorized.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR Part 385, we found that (1) our

action was consistent with Department policy; (2 ) grant of the application was consistent with the public

interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major regulatory action under the Energy

Policy and Conservation Act of 1975. To the extent not granted, we denied all requests in th e referenced

Docket. We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this Notice at any time without

hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set forth in this Notice under the

Department’s regulations, 14 CFR §385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date of

issuance of this Notice. This action was effective when taken, and the filing of a petition for review will

not alter such effectiveness.
