DEPARTMENT OF STATE
[Public Notice: 7760]
U.S. Department of State Advisory
Committee on Private International
Law (ACPIL): Notice of Public Meeting
of Its Study Group on the Hague
Convention on Choice of Court
Agreements
The Office of the Assistant Legal
Adviser for Private International Law,
Department of State, hereby gives notice
of a public meeting of the ACPIL Study
Group on the Hague Convention on
Choice of Court Agreements. The
meeting will take place on Monday,
March 5, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., at the
main State Department building (Harry
S Truman Building). This is not a
meeting of the full Advisory Committee.
The Study Group will meet to discuss
the draft federal legislation that has
been developed to implement the
Convention. It is proposed that the
Convention would be implemented
through a ‘‘cooperative federalism’’
approach whereby states could elect to
enact a uniform state act, which would
apply in that state in lieu of the federal
statute.
Key issues to be discussed include:
the scope of federal court jurisdiction in
actions brought to recognize or enforce
the judgment of a foreign chosen court;
provisions on the statute of limitations
for bringing recognition/enforcement
actions; and whether to prescribe the
basis for quasi in rem jurisdiction in
recognition/enforcement actions.
Participants may comment also on other
provisions of the draft federal
legislation.
Prior to the Study Group meeting, we
will send out the latest federal and state
drafts to all those who indicate that they
intend to attend the meeting or
participate by telephone or who
otherwise express an interest in
commenting on the draft federal text.
Those who cannot attend but wish to
comment are welcome to do so by email
to Keith Loken at lokenk@state.gov.
Time and Place: The meeting will
take place in Room 1406, Harry S
Truman Building, 2201 C Street NW.,
Washington, DC 20520. Participants
should plan to arrive by 12:30 p.m. for
visitor screening. If you are unable to
attend the public meeting and would
like to participate from a remote
location, teleconferencing will be
available.
Public Participation: This study group
meeting is open to the public, subject to
the capacity of the meeting room.
Access to the building is strictly
controlled. For pre-clearance purposes,
those planning to attend should phone

Section of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR
93.123(a).
Description of Relief Sought: Sun
Country Airlines requests an exemption
from the slot limit for Ronald Reagan
Washington National Airport (DCA) set
forth in § 93.123(a), to permit the FAA
to create air carrier slots during certain
limited hours for Sun Country’s use.
The proposed air carrier slots would
replace two slot exemptions under DOT
Order 2010–12–16 awarded to Sun
Country. On January 6, 2012, the United
States Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia Circuit vacated the DOT
Order, and Sun Country will lose its
existing service between DCA and
Lansing’s Capital Region International
Airport. Specifically, Sun Country
desires one daily slot during each of the
1000 and 1100 hours. The proposed
exemption would permit Sun Country
to continue operating its existing
services and avoid an inequitable result
of the Court’s order.
