plan. We have strived for a uniform

international system that allows U.S. victims

to receive fair recoveries within a reasonable

period of time. Specifically, we would expect

that any agreement reached by the carriers

would be consistent with the following

guidelines: first, with regard to passenger

claims arising from international journeys

ticketed in the United States, passengers

would be entitled to prompt and complete

compensation on a strict liability basis with

no per passenger limits and with measures of

damages consistent with those available in

cases arising in U.S. domestic air

transportation; second, this coverage should

be extended to U.S. citizens and permanent

residents traveling internationally on tickets

not issued in the United States.

We have decided to grant the request for

discussion authority and antitrust immunity

in this order, rather than through a showcause proceeding. The discussions sought by

the applicants seek to carry out our

established public policy goal, the

modernization of passenger liability limits.

Implementing that goal as soon as possible

will redound to the immediate benefit of the

traveling public and therefore provide

important public benefits. We are willing to

grant antitrust immunity in this instance

because, unlike most situations where it has

been sought, the purpose of the discussions

at issue here is fully consistent with the

public interest. Furthermore, any agreement

reached by the carriers may not be

implemented without our approval, and

interested persons will have an opportunity

to comment on any application for such

approval.

In addition, to minimize any adverse

impact on the public interest, we will

condition our approval and grant of antitrust

immunity upon the following express

conditions: (1) The discussion authority is

limited to 120 days from the date of

publication of this order; (2) advance notice

of any meeting shall be given to all U.S. and

foreign air carriers as well as to the

Department of Transportation and the

Department of Justice; (3) representatives of

the Department of Transportation and the

Department of Justice shall be permitted to

attend the meetings authorized by this order;

(4) IATA shall file within 14 days with the

Department a report of each meeting held

including inter alia the date, place,

attendance, a copy of any information

submitted to the meeting by any participant,

and a summary of the discussions and any

proposed agreements; (5) any agreement

reached must be submitted to the Department

for approval and must be approved before its

implementation; (6) the attendees at such

meetings must not discuss rates, fares or

capacity, except to the extent necessary to

discuss ticket price additions reflecting the

cost of any passenger compensation plan;

and (7) the discussions will be held in the

metropolitan Washington, D.C. area.

Accordingly

1. The Department approves the request for

discussion authority filed by IATA in this

docket, subject to the restrictions listed

below, under section 41308 of title 49 of the

United States Code, for 120 days from the

date of publication of this order, for

discussions directed toward producing a

uniform set of passenger liability limits;

2. The Department exempts persons

participating in the discussions approved by

this order from the operation of the antitrust

laws under section 41309 of Title 49 of the

United States Code;

3. The Department’s approval is subject to

the following conditions:

(a) Advance notice of any meeting shall be

given to all identifiably interested U.S. air

carriers and foreign air carriers, as well as to

the Department of Transportation and the

Department of Justice;

(b) Representatives of the entities listed in

subparagraph (a) above shall be permitted to

attend all meetings authorized by this order;

(c) IATA shall file within 14 days with the

Department a report of each meeting held

including inter alia the date, place,

attendance, a copy of any information

submitted to the meeting by any participant,

and a summary of the discussions and any

proposed agreements;

(d) Any agreement reached must be

submitted to the Department for approval

and must be approved before its

implementation;

(e) Attendees at such meetings must not

discuss rates, fares or capacity, except to the

extent necessary to discuss ticket price

additions reflecting the cost of any passenger

compensation plan;

(f) The Department shall retain jurisdiction

over the discussions to take such further

action at any time, without a hearing, as it

may deem appropriate; and

(g) Any meetings authorized by this order

shall be held in the metropolitan

Washington, D.C. area.

4. Petitions for reconsideration may be

filed pursuant to our rules in response to this

order;

5. We will serve a copy of this order on all

parties served by IATA in this docket, as

indicated by the service list attached to its

application; and

6. We will publish a copy of this order in

the Federal Register.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Aviation and

International Affairs.
