                   Issued by the Department of Transportation
                         on the 1st day of August, 1985

International Air Transport                        R-1 through R-8
Association relating to South   :
Pacific cargo rates
   4-                               ORDER

Various member carriers of the International Air Transport Association (IATA)
have filed an agreement 1/  ith the Department under section 412 of the Federal
Aviation Act of 1958 (the Act) and Part 261 of the Department's Organizational
Regulations. It was adopted at the Composite Meeting of Cargo Tariff
Coordinating Conferences held in Geneva during May and June 1985.

The agreement would establish a new South Pacific cargo rate structure for
effect October 1, 1985, through September 30, 1986. In general, ex-U.S.
minimum charges, general cargo rates (GCRs) and specific commodity rates (SCRs)
would be held at current levels, although ex-Seattle minimum charges and GCRs
would be increased by 40 percent and three to four percent, respectively, 2/
and SCRs to French Polynesia and New Caledonia would be increased by five
percent. Ex-U.S. contract charges, moreover, would be increased by five
percent to Australia and seven percent to New Zealand, and U.S.-Australia
priority service rates would be reduced from 140 to 120 percent of the
otherwise applicable charges. Many rates to the United States would also be
held at present levels. 3/ Minimum charges from Australia and New Zealand,
however, would be increased by six to 11 percent, and ex-New Zealand GCRs, SCRs
and contaiher rates would be increased by about seven percent. Finally, GCRs
frm Perth would be reduced to the current Sydney levels.

The pirpose of this order is to establish procedural dates and requirements for
the submission of carrier justification in support of the agreement and the
submission of comments from interested persons. 4/



l/JATA memorandums TC31 Reso7T-ll3 and 0115.
2/ These increases would commonrate Seattle with Portland and, according to
YATA, reflect the absence of direct services from Seattle.
3/ Again, most rates to Seattle would be raised to the Portland levels.
T/ This procedure is consistent with past C.A.B. practice as highlighted by the
Court in Advanced Micro Devices, et al. v. C.A.B., 742 F.2d 1520 (D.C. Cir.,
1984).
