             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 concludes that the requirements specified in paragraph 

(b) of this section are not then being met.
