Notice. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: Vision 100—Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act, Public Law 108–176, Title IV, subtitle A, section 406 requires the Secretary of Transportation to establish a pilot program, under which the Secretary would have discretion to require air carriers receiving Essential Air Service (EAS) subsidy and major carriers serving large hub airports to participate in code-sharing arrangements for up to 10 EAS communities. Public comments were invited about such a prospective program; all of the comments raised objections, particularly concerns that the Department would use the authority to force carriers to participate involuntarily in the program. This Notice discusses the comments, advises of the establishment of the pilot program, solicits applications for participation in the program, and specifies issues that should be addressed in such applications. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin Schlemmer, U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of Aviation Analysis, 400 7th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. Telephone (202) 366–3176. E-mail: kevin.schlemmer@dot.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Essential Air Service program, established in 1978 by the Airline Deregulation Act, Public Law 95–504, enables small communities that were served by certificated air carriers before deregulation to maintain at least a PO 00000 Frm 00173 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 minimal level of scheduled air service. Under this program, the Department currently provides subsidies to air carriers so that approximately 150 rural communities, including 37 in Alaska, can receive such service. DOT’s program determines the minimum level of service at each community by specifying a hub through which the community is linked to the national transportation system, a minimum number of round trips and available seats that must be provided to that hub, certain characteristics of the aircraft to be used, and the maximum number of permissible intermediate stops to the hub. A code-sharing agreement is a marketing arrangement between two carriers that allows one to publish schedules and sell tickets on flights operated by another. Typically, codesharing allows carriers to broaden their network of destinations, to feed additional passengers to their hub airports, and to serve destinations that they could not otherwise serve on a profitable basis. Major airlines now commonly enter into voluntary codeshare contracts with others, including smaller, regional carriers. Most airports covered under the EAS program have service provided by a carrier that has at least one major airline’s code attached to its flights out of the airport. However, some carriers that provide subsidized service under the EAS program do not have any code-share arrangements in some of the markets that they serve. On December 12, 2003, President Bush signed the Vision 100—Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act, Public Law 108–176. Title IV, subtitle A, section 406 of that statute required the Secretary of Transportation to establish a pilot program, under which the Secretary would have discretion to require air carriers receiving EAS subsidy and major carriers serving large hub airports to participate in codesharing arrangements for up to 10 EAS communities. Section 406 provides as follows: Code-Sharing Program (a) In General.—The Secretary of Transportation shall establish a pilot program under which the Secretary may require air carriers providing air service with compensation under subchapter II of chapter 417 of title 49, United States code, and major carriers (as defined in section 41716(a)(2) of such title) serving large hub airports (as defined in section 40102 of such title) to participate in multiple code-sharing arrangements consistent with normal industry practice whenever and wherever the Secretary determines that such multiple E:\FR\FM\01FEN1.SGM 01FEN1
