          Subject: Department of Transportation, Office of the Secretary: Procedures for
                  Compensation of Air Carriers

          Pursuant to section 801(a) (2) (A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Department of Transportation (DOT), Office of the
          Secretary, entitled Procedures for Compensation of Air Carriers (RIN: 2105-AD06).
          We received the rule on January 14, 2002. It was published in the Federal Register as
          a final rule on January 2, 2002. 67 Fed. Reg. 250.

          The final rule amends the DOT rule published on October 29, 2001 (66 Fed. Reg.
          54616) which established application procedures for air carriers interested in
          requesting compensation under the Air Transportation Safety and System
          Stabilization Act. The Act authorized $5 billion in compensation to air carriers for
          direct and incremental losses incurred as a result of the September 11, 2001, attacks.

          Enclosed is our assessment of the DOT's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review indicates that DOT complied with the applicable requirements.

          If you have any questions about this report, please contact James W. Vickers,
          Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 512-8210. The official responsible for GAO
          evaluation work relating to the subject matter of the rule is John Anderson,
