FILE:   B-206567              DATE: September 23, 1983

MATTER OF:      Sedalia-Marshall-Boonville Stage Line, Inc.


DIGEST:

   1.   Commuter all-cargo air carrier not subject
        to tariff-filing requirements should not be
        refunded deductions for alleged overcharges
        based on the difference between the
        carrier's published rates and the rates
        contained in a tender executed by the
        carrier, where there is conflicting evidence
        in the record whether the tender was ever
        accepted by the Government.

   2.   Commuter all-cargo air carrier should be
        refunded deductions for alleaed overcharges
        based on the difference between tariff
        rates, required to be filed with the Civil
        Aeronautics Board, and the rates contained
        in a tender executed by the carrier, since
        under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 there
        is no authority for air carriers to give
        preferential rates to the Government unless
        they are properly filed with the Board or
        the Board has exempted the carrier from its
        filing requirements.

   3.   Where an air carrier executed a tender when
        it was exempted from tariff-filing require-
        merits of the Civil Aeronautics Board, but
        the Board subsequently required the carrier
        to file tariffs, the filed tariffs replaced
        the tender by operation of law. When the
        carrier later wvas exempted from tariff-
        filing requirements, the tender was not
        revived unless the parties so agreed, and
        deductions based on the tender thus were not
        proper.

   4.   Nonbilling carrier properly may claim a
        refund of deductions taken by Government
