NOTICE SUSPENDING FURTHER PROCEDURES

													2

By Notice dated October 5, 2005, we invited interested U.S. carriers to
supplement already-filed applications and/or to file new
exemption/certificate applications for new U.S.-Mexico combination and
all-cargo air transportation services under the September 21, 2005,
Memorandum 

of Consultations (MOC) between the United States and Mexico.   We
instructed U.S. carriers to file their submissions within seven business
days of the Notice, that is, not later than October 17, 2005.  Our
stated objective in issuing the October 5 Notice was to be in a position
promptly to implement the new rights once they become effective
(currently anticipated to occur on October 26, 2005), and to promote an
orderly process for doing so.  

We have received numerous applications and supplements to existing
applications for the newly available authority and, accordingly, have
now identified the service markets for which carrier selection
proceedings will be necessary.  Captioned above are those city-pair
markets for which we will be instituting carrier selection proceedings. 
Also captioned above are dockets reflecting limited designation
opportunities for all-cargo Mexico City (Benito Juarez) services that
will also require carrier selection proceedings.

For each of the captioned city-pair markets we are suspending further
procedures under 14 CFR part 302 (part 302).  Instead, we intend to
issue notices shortly, establishing procedures and timetables for the
applicants and other interested parties to follow so that we may
establish a decisional record for carrier selection as to each of the
subject markets.  Accordingly, for the city-pair and all-cargo markets
captioned, we request that interested parties not file responsive
pleadings at this time, but rather that they await the issuance of the
aforementioned notices.  We hereby suspend as to applications filed for
those markets, and until further notice, the procedural requirements of
part 302 to the extent consistent with this approach.  For all other
applications filed in response to our October 5 Notice (i.e.,
applications seeking authority in markets other than those listed
above), the procedures set forth in part 302, including the time limits
for filing responsive pleadings, will continue to apply. 

We will serve this notice by electronic mail on all parties listed in
the Appendix.
