NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKETS OST-2004-19666

________________________________________________________________________

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

ApplicationApplications of   Evergreen International Airlines, Inc. 
filed  11/12/04 for:

XX Exemption pursuant to 49 U.S.C. §40109 to provide the following
services:

Scheduled foreign air transportation of property and mail between a
point or points in the United States and Nagoya, Japan, and beyond to
Seoul, South Korea.   Evergreen also requests authority to integrate
this authority with Evergreen’s existing exemption and certificate
authority, and to commingle traffic on the authorized services.

XX Allocation of five-weekly U.S.-Japan all-cargo frequencies to provide
scheduled service between the United States and Nagoya, Japan.

Applicant rep:  Thomas V. Lydon  (202) 861 6459  DOT Analyst: Gerald
Caolo   (202) 366-2406

D I S P O SI T I O N

XX  Granted  (subject to conditions, see below)

The above action granting the exemption was effective when taken:
December 2, 2004, through, December 2, 2006

The frequency allocation was granted:  December 2, 2004, and will remain
in effect indefinitely, provided that Evergreen continues to hold the
necessary underlying authority to serve the United States-Nagoya market.

Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director	

		    Office of International Aviation	

XX   The authority granted here is consistent with the 1998 Memorandum
of Understanding between the United States and Japan.

Except to the extent exempted or waived, this authority is subject to
the terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:  	XX  Holder’s
certificates of public convenience and necessity		

		XX  Standard Exemption Conditions (attached)

___________________________________________

___________________________________________

Conditions:  Consistent with our standard practice, the frequency
allocation granted is subject to the condition that if any frequencies
are not used for a period of 90 days, the allocation as to those
frequencies would expire automatically and the unused frequencies will
revert to the Department for reallocation.  The 90-day dormancy period
will begin on June 1, 2005, the date Evergreen proposes to inaugurate
operations with these frequencies.

The route integration authority granted is subject to the condition that
any service provided under this exemption shall be consistent with all
applicable agreements between the United States and the foreign
countries involved.  Furthermore, (a) nothing in the award of the route
integration authority requested should be construed as conferring upon
Evergreen rights (including fifth-freedom intermediate and/or beyond
rights) to serve markets where U.S. carrier entry is limited unless
Evergreen notifies the Department of its intent to serve such a market
and unless and until the Department has completed any necessary carrier
selection procedures to determine which carrier(s) should be authorized
to exercise such rights; and (b) should there be a request by any
carrier to use the limited-entry route rights that are included in
Evergreen’s authority by virtue of the route integration exemption
granted here, but that are not then being used by Evergreen, the holding
of such authority by route integration will not be considered as
providing any preference for Evergreen in a competitive carrier
selection proceeding to determine which carrier(s) should be entitled to
use the authority at issue.

________________________________________________________________________
______________

On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the
Department’s regulations, we found the applicant qualified to provide
the 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.
