            DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

                    OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

                             WASHINGTON, DC

Docket: OST-2002-12683							Served: August 1, 2002

NOTICE

By Order 2002-6-20, the Department instituted the 2002 U.S.-Brazil
All-Cargo Service Proceeding to select a carrier for an authorization to
be designated to serve the U.S.-Brazil all-cargo market and for
allocation of four U.S.-Brazil all-cargo frequencies under the
U.S.-Brazil aviation agreement.  The instituting order established a
procedural schedule for the submission of evidentiary material needed by
the Department to make its selection(s), as follows: Applications by
July 19, 2002; Direct Exhibits by August 2; Rebuttal Exhibits by August
16; and Briefs by August 30.  Gemini Air Cargo, Evergreen International
Airlines, and Amerijet International filed applications for the
available authorization and an allocation of frequencies.  

On July 31, 2002, Amerijet filed a letter in the above-captioned docket,
served on all parties as well as Federal Express, United Parcel Service,
and Atlas Air/Polar Air Cargo, requesting that the Department require
each all-cargo carrier currently designated to provide service in the
U.S.-Brazil market (Federal Express, UPS, and Atlas/Polar) to submit, by
no later than August 9, a complete description of their services in the
U.S.-Brazil market for the period June 1, 2001 through May 31, 2002.  In
the alternative, Amerijet states that the incumbent carriers may agree
to voluntarily submit the requested information for the record of the
case.  

We will treat Amerijet’s letter as a motion under our regulations (14
CFR Part 302.11), which would normally allow seven days for answers
(i.e., August 9).  However, to ensure that the issues raised by
Amerijet’s letter are addressed in an expedited manner, we will
require that answers to Amerijet’s letter be filed in the
above-referenced docket by Monday, August 5, 2002.  Any replies shall be
filed by Tuesday, August 6, 2002.  

We will authorize service of documents by facsimile and by electronic
mail.  Carriers that are interested in such service, however, should
state if they want service by email and should provide interested
parties with their fax number and/or email address.     

We will serve this notice on Gemini Air Cargo, Inc.; Evergreen
International Airlines, Inc.; Amerijet International, Inc.; Federal
Express Corporation; United Parcel Service Co.; and Atlas Air, Inc.
