                                   ORDER

    By Order 71-4-8, dated April 1, 1971, the Board deferred action and
requested comments from interested persons on LATA Resolution 810s, the
text of which is as follows:

    Resolved that where an Agent issues two or more tickets and/or
    other  transportation documents for parts of the same through
    journey  to the same passenger where the-effect of such multiple
    issuance  is to undercut the applicable through fare, such Agent
    shall  be deemed solely responsible for such issuance and be sub-
    ject  to compliance action pursuant to Section H of Resolutions
    810a  and 810aa.

    The  Board noted that the subject IATA resolution raises substantial
issues which require further review prior to final action thereon.  Such
issues include but are not limited to (a) the effect of the resolution on
agents, and (b) the status of IATA through fares.  In regard to the latter,
the Board questioned whether or not it is unduly restrictive to create sanc-
tions for the multiple issuance of tickets for a through journey involving
lawful fares for each component segment.

     The Bard  invited comments from interested persons not only on the
questions discussed above but any other ramifications and potential effects
of the resolution with which the Board shoul  be concerned.  Comments have
been received from member carriers of IATA,1/ various non-IATA carriers,2/ the
