Order 71-2-1


W                             UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
                              CIVIL AERONAUTICS BOARD
                                WASHINGTON, D.C.

                       Adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board       PAiA
                         at its office in Washington, D.C.            /0
                           on the 1st day of February, 1971



        DOMESTIC PASSENGER-FARE INVESTIGATION            Docket 21866



                           ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR
                           RECONSIDERATION  AND MOTIONS

             By Order 70-11-91, dated November 19, 1970, the Board took various
        actions to expedite this proceeding.  Inter alia, the Board directed that
        the portion of the record in phase 6 relating to seating configuration
        (redesignated in the order as phase 6A) and the record in phase 7 be
        certified to the Board for final decision, and that further procedures
        in phases 4 and 5, including exceptions to the initial decisions and
        briefs to the Board, be temporarily deferred.

             A petition seeking reconsideration of the above order was filed by
        Continental Air Lines, Inc., on November 27, 1970.  Referring to the Chief
        Examiner's grant of Bureau Counsel's motion to postpone the hearing date
        in phase 9 to April 12, 1971, Continental urges that the Board should
        expedite that phase.  Secondly, Continental urges that the Board should
        receive an initial decision by the Examiner in phase 6A, claiming that such a
        decision would contribute to the record since the examiner presided over
        the taking of the evidence and would be in a better position to reach an
        initial decision in this case than the five Board members.  Continental also
        challenges the legal and factual basis for the Board's determination to omit
        the tentative decision in phase 6A. Answers  in opposition to Contiental's
        motion have been filed by American Airlines, Inc., and Trans World Airlines,
        Inc.

             Insofar as the petition seeks reconsideration of Order .70-11-91, it
        is unauthorized, since, under Rule 37(a), reconsideration of interlocutory 1/
        orders may not be sought, subject to certain exceptions not pertinent here.-

        1/  It may be noted that in determining to direct certification of phase 6A,
        the Board has already given full consideration to Continental's objection
        in its answer to American's motion requesting certification.
