DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
14 CFR
303.43 requires that ‘‘[n]otice to the
public of any . . . order to show cause
concerning an application shall be made
by publication in the Federal Register.’’
Accordingly, through this Federal
Register Notice, the Department gives
‘‘notice to the public’’ that on January
26, 2024, the Department issued an
Order to Show Cause (Order 2024–1–17,
‘‘Show Cause Order’’) tentatively
dismissing without prejudice the
application of Delta and Aeromexico to
renew the Department’s approval and
grant of antitrust immunity (‘‘ATI’’) for
their Joint Cooperation Agreement. On
January 29, 2024, the Joint Applicants
petitioned the Department for additional
time for objections and comments to the
Show Cause Order. On February 7,
2024, the Department issued an Order
Extending Comment Period (Order
2024–2–6, ‘‘Order Extending Comment
Period’’) by two weeks.
The Show Cause Order and the Order
Extending Comment Period have both
been posted in docket DOT–OST–2015–
0070 at www.regulations.gov. The Show
Cause Order directs all interested
persons to show cause why we should
not issue an order making final our
tentative findings and conclusions
discussed therein. Objections or
comments to our tentative findings and
conclusions shall now, pursuant to the
Joint Applicant’s motion and a
subsequent Order by the Department, be
due no later than 28 calendar days from
the service date of the Order (i.e.,
February 23, 2024), and answers to
objections shall be due no later than
seven (7) business days thereafter (i.e.,
March 5, 2024). If no objections are
filed, all further procedural steps shall
be deemed waived, and we may enter an
order making final our tentative findings
and conclusions.
