   CHAPTER II--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 
                         (AVIATION PROCEEDINGS)
 
PART 211--APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS TO FOREIGN AIR CARRIERS--Table of Contents
 
             Subpart D--Freely Associated State Air Carriers
 
Sec. 211.33  Interstate and interstate authority.

    (a) An application under this subpart may include a request, in 
addition to other foreign air transportation, for authority to engage in 
interstate air transportation between Guam, the Commonwealth of the 
Northern Mariana Islands and Honolulu, Hawaii, and interstate air 
transportation within the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. 
A request for all or part of such limited interstate air transportation 
authority shall be supported by documentation establishing:
    (1) The impact of such interstate air transportation services on the 
economic projections of the carrier's proposed operations;
    (2) The need for such proposed interstate air transportation by the 
affected U.S. points;
    (3) The economic impact of such interstate air transportation on 
services provided by other carriers providing essential air 
transportation services to eligible Freely Associated State points 
within the scope of part 272 of this chapter.
    (b) The Department may grant a Freely Associated State Air Carrier 
authority to engage in all or part of the interstate air transportation 
requested in paragraph (a) of this section provided that the Department 
finds:
    (1) That grant of such interstate air transportation authority would 
be in furtherance of the objectives of the Compact of Free Association 
and related agreements between the United States and the Freely 
Associated States, and would otherwise be in the public interest; and
    (2) That grant of such interstate air transportation authority would 
not significantly impair the economic viability of existing services 
providing essential air transportation to any eligible Freely Associated 
State point within the scope of part 272 of this chapter, or 
significantly increase compensation that may be required to maintain any 
such essential air transportation.
    (c) The Department may, at any time, subject to Presidential review 
under section 41307, suspend, modify, or revoke such interstate 
authority if it

section are not then being met.
