D I S P O S I T I O N

XX Granted (subject to conditions, see below)

The above action was effective when taken: August 2, 2012, through August 2, 2014.

Action taken by: Paul L. Gretch, Director

 Office of International Aviation

XX The authority granted is consistent with the aviation agreement between the United States and 

Mexico.

Except to the extent exempted or waived, this authority is subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations 

indicated:

XX The holder’s certificates of public convenience and necessity

XX Standard exemption conditions (attached)

Conditions: The U.S.-Mexico exemption authority granted is subject to the dormancy notice 

requirements set forth in condition 7 of Appendix A of Order 88-10-2. 

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 authority 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 the 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.
