" (n) (1) No certificate to engage in supplemental air transportation, 
Poat, p. 145. 
and no special operating authorization described in section 417 of this 
title, shall be issued or remain in effect unless the applicant for such 
certificate or the supplemental air carrier, as the case may be, complies 
with regulations or orders issued by the Board governing the filing and 
approval of policies of insurancej in the amount prescribed by the 
Board, conditioned to pay, within the amount of such insurance, 
amounts for which such applicant or such supplemental air carrier 
may become liable tor bodily injuries to or the death of any person, 
or for loss of or damage to property of others, resulting from the 
negligent opertition or maintenance of aircraft under such certificate 
or such special operating authorization. 
" (2) In order to protect travelers and shippers by aircraft operated 
by supplemental air carriers, the Board may require any supplemental 
air carrier to file a performance bond or equivalent security arrange-
ment, in such amount and upon such terms as the Board shall pre-
scribe, to be conditioned upon such supplemental air carriers making 
appropriate compensation to such travelers and shippers, as prescribed 
by the Board, for failure on the part of such carrier to perform air 
transportation services in accordance with agreements therefor. 
"(3) If any service authorized by a certificate to engage in supple-
mental air transportation is not performed to the minimum extent 
l)rescribed by the Board, it may by order, entered after notice and 
hearing, direct that such certificate shall thereupon cease to be effec-
tive to the extent of such service. 
*
" (4) The requirement that each applicant for a certificate to engage 
in supplemental air transportation must be found to be fit, willing, and 
able properly to perform the transportation covered by his applica-
tion and to conform to the provisions of this Act and the rules, regu-
lations, and requirements of the Board under this Act, shall be a 
continuing requirement applicable to each supplemental air carrier 
with respect to the transportation authorized by, and currently fur-
nished or proposed to be furnished under, such carrier's certificate. 
The Boarcl shall by order, entered after notice and hearing, modify, 
suspend, or revoke such certificate, in whole or in part, for failure of

such carrier (A) to comply with the continuing requirement that such 
carrier be so fit, willing, and able, or (B) to file such reports as the 
Board may deem necessary to determine whether such carrier is so 
fit, willing, and able. 
"(5) In any case in which the Board determines that the failure of 
suspension of 
a supplemental air carrier to comply with the provisions of paragraph certificates. 
(1), (3), or (4) of this subsection, or regulations or orders of the 
Board thereunder, requires, in the interest of the rights, welfare, or 
safety of the public, immediate suspension of such carrier's certificate, 
the Board shall suspend such certificate, in whole or in part, without 
notice or hearing, for not more than thirty days. The Board shall 
immediately enter upon a hearing to determine whether such certificate 
should be modified, suspended, or revoked and, pending the completion 
of such hearing, the Board may further suspend such certificate for 
additional periods aggregating not more than sixty days. If the 
Board determines that a carrier whose certificate is suspended under 
this paragraph comes into compliance with the provisions of para-
graphs (1), (3), and (4) of this subsection, and regulations and orders 
of the Board thereunder, the Board may immediately terminate the 
suspension of such certificate and any pending proceeding commenced 
under this paragraph, but nothing in this sentence shall preclude the 
Board from imposing on such carrier a civil penalty for any violation 
of such provisions, regulations, or orders. 
"(6) The Board shall prescribe such regulations and issue such 
orders as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this 
subsection."
