                     UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
                   DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
                     OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
                         WASHINGTON, D.C.

            Issued by the Department of Transportation
                  on the 1st day of December, 1988


Agreement adopted by the Tariff     :             Docket 45858
Coordinating Conferences of the                R-1 through R-26
International Air Transport
Association relating to cargo rates :


                              ORDER

Various members of the International Air Transport Association
(IATA) have filed an agreement with the Department under section
412(a) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 and Part 303 of the
Department's Procedural Regulations. It was adopted at the
Composite Cargo Tariff Coordinating Conference held in Geneva
during July-August 1988. 1/

The agreement establishes new cargo rate structures applicable to
cargo moving between points in TC2 (Europe/Middle East/Africa) and
points in TC3 (Asia/Australasia/Pacific Islands), and directly
affects foreign air transportation insofar as U.S. Pacific
Territories are concerned. While the agreement holds many rates
and charges to/from U.S. points at current levels, some would
increase three to 80 percent, with the higher increases obtaining
from points most affected by adverse fluctuations in exchange
rates.
We have decided to approve the agreement insofar as it involves
rates between foreign points, which have only indirect application
in foreign air transportation as defined by the Act. However, we
will defer action on those portions of the agreement proposing
rates to/from U.S. points. In general, we require economic
justification from the U.S. carrier members of IATA in order to
review any major IATA cargo rate agreement; we are not in a
position to approve IATA cargo rate agreements raising rates to/
from U.S. points without suitable justification. j/ No economic
justification has yet been submitted in support of the present
agreement. Without such justification, we do not have any basis
on which to evaluate carrier revenue need and cannot reach a
funding under the public-interest standard of the Act. Under



j/ IATA memorandum TC23 Reso/C 0163.
2/ Advanced Micro Devices, et al. v. C.A.B., 742 F.2d 1520 (D.C.
Cir. 1984). See Order 86-12-35, December 11, 1986.
