Agreement implementing section 221(a)(5) of the Compact of Free 

Association between the United States and the Governments of the 

Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands and Palau (the 

Freely Associated States) provides, among other things, for the 

Department of Transportation (Department), as successor to the Civil 

Aeronautics Board (Board), to guarantee essential air service, with 

compensation if necessary, to certain places in these islands. 

Subparagraph 5(h) of the Agreement provides that the Department shall 

adopt rules to implement the provisions of paragraph 5 as it in its 

discretion deems appropriate. Section 221(a)(5) of the Compact, which 

was adopted by Congress as public laws (Pub. L. 99-239, Jan. 14, 1986; 

Pub. L. 99-658, Nov. 14, 1986), provides that the Department (as

paragraph 5 of the Agreement. This part implements these provisions of 

paragraph 5.
