Office of the Secretary August 12, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Transportation is directing all interested persons to show cause why it should not issue an order finding Eos Airlines, Inc., fit, willing, and able, and awarding it a certificate of public convenience and necessity to engage in foreign scheduled passenger air transportation of persons, property and mail.

By Order 2005-7-15, served on July 20, 2005, the Department tentatively concluded that Executive Jet Management, Inc. is fit, willing, and able to provide scheduled passenger operations as a commuter air carrier under 49 U.S.C. 41738, and should be issued commuter air carrier authority, subject to conditions. At that time, we directed interested parties to file objections no later than 14 days after the service date of the order (i.e., August 3, 2005). Subsequently, the Department published a Notice in the Federal Register on July 21, 2005, inadvertently directing all interested parties wishing to file objections to do so by August 29, 2005. In order to correct this administrative error, while, at the same time, providing interested parties with a suitable period of time to file comments, we find it appropriate to direct persons wishing to file objections to our tentative decision to so by August 15, 2005.
