   ing Tiger Corporation), for approval of a tax allocation agreement under paragraph 3 of
   order 70-6-119, as amended

             ORDER  DENYING   PETITION  FOR RECONSIDERATION

   By order  73-12-106, December   26, 1973, the Board  approved,  subject
 to various conditions  and  modifications,  a tax  allocation agreement
 among  The  Flying Tiger Line Inc. (FTL),  The Flying  Tiger Corporation
 (FTC), now  known   as Tiger International, Inc. (TI), and their affiliates,
,filed pursuant to paragraph  3 of order 70-6-119, dated  May   5, 1970, as
amended.'   The  proposed  agreement2   was  approved  subject, inter alia,
to  a  condition  modifying   the  proposed   utilization of  tax  savings
resulting from  the filing of a consolidated tax return by the TI system of
affiliated companies.'

   I Order 70-6-119, amended by order 71-7-6, July 1, 1971 and order 72-2-6, Feb. 2. 1972,
 inter alia, prohibited intercompany transactions within the TI system of subsidiaries and
 affiliated companies which amount in the aggregate to $100,000 or more in any calendar
 year without prior Board approval. Subsequent to its decision in this proceeding, the
 Board by order 74-5-90, May 17, 1974 increased the dollar limitation to $1 million.
   2 The agreement treated the air carrier, FTL, for tax purposes as if it were otherwise un-
 affiliated. It provided that the air carrier would pay to TI, the holding company, any tax
 that would have been due were it filing returns as an independent company, and would
 receive a refund were it entitled to one as a separate company. It further provided that un-
 der circumstances where net operating losses, investment tax credits, or other tax credits
 generated by FTL's operations are applied in computing payment of taxes otherwise due
 from operations of the TI group, FTL would immediately receive in cash the value of the
 taxes saved. Under comparable circumstances, other subsidiaries of TI would be entitled
 to receive redeemable credits from TI.
   1 The Board stated that contributions by the air carrier to the group's consolidated tax
 liability should be no more than the sum of (a) an amount proportionate to the air
 carrier's independent tax liability in relation to the independent tax liability of all
 members of the group showing a taxable income, and (b) an amount required to redeem
 credits given by the air carrier to other subsidiaries in prior years, and ordered that. sub-
 ject to these conditions, FTL shall retain the use of its sheltered income.
