Background Under the May 1994 U.S.-Germany Agreement for Transitional Arrangements for Air Transport Services (Agreement), scheduled combination services are subject to seasonal frequency limitations. For the coming summer season, U.S. scheduled combination carriers may operate a total of 262 weekly round-trip frequencies for U.S.-Germany (third/fourth-freedom) services and 134 weekly round-trip frequencies for Germany-third country (fifth-freedom) services.1 The Agreement further provides that thirty days prior to each traffic season, each Party shall notify the other Party through diplomatic channels of the initial allocation of the frequencies among its airlines.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\Article 6, Section 1 (A)(1) provides that airlines designated by the United States may operate 120 weekly round-trip fifth freedom frequencies during the coming summer season. Furthermore, under Section 1 (A)(2), an additional 14 weekly round-trip fifth freedom frequencies are available because the United/Lufthansa rights in the London-Germany market noted in Appendix B to the Agreement have been effectuated. \2\Article 6, Section 5 A. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applications To facilitate our allocation of these frequencies, we invite all U.S. carriers interested in using the third/fourth/fifth-freedom frequencies to file their applications with the Department in Docket 49818. Applications should include the following information (identify separately for third/fourth- and fifth-freedom frequencies): (a) the overall number of frequencies requested; (b) the markets to be served; (c) distribution of the requested frequencies by market; (d) aircraft to be used (per market); and (e) manner of operation (i.e., direct service/own aircraft or code share; if code share, identify with which carrier and over what third-country point, if applicable). Applicant carriers that have previously been allocated and operated flights in the third/fourth/fifth-freedom markets for the 1994 summer season should also provide the following information with respect to those operations (identify separately for third/fourth- and fifth- freedom allocations): (a) the number of flights previously allocated; (b) markets served; (c) frequencies operated per market and period of operation for each market; (d) aircraft type per market; and (e) manner of operation (i.e., direct service/own aircraft or code share; if code share, identify with which carrier and over what third-country point, if applicable).3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \3\If there was a cessation of service, no matter how short, in any market for any period during the past summer season, such interruption of service should be noted. If services were changed from one market to another during the past summer season, this also should be indicated. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applicants are also free to submit any additional information that they believe will help us in making our decision. An original and 12 copies of each application should be filed with the Department's Docket Section, Room 4107, 400 Seventh Street S.W. , Washington, D.C. 20590, in Docket 49818, and served on all parties on the attached list. Procedural Schedule In light of the numerous coming holidays, in the interests of the carriers and the Department, and to facilitate a timely processing of this case, we will require that applications and responsive pleadings be filed according to the following schedule: Applications: October 27, 1994 Answers: November 7, 1994 Replies: November 14, 1994 We will serve this notice on all U.S. air carriers holding authority to operate foreign scheduled combination air transportation with large aircraft, and will publish this Notice in the Federal Register.
