 In the matter of

      JAPAN CHARTER AUTHORIZATIONS                      Docket 41303

 Distribution of charter authorizations
 under Part 320 of the Board's
 Procedural Regulations



                         ORDER ASSESSING PENALTIES

      Part 320, Procedures for Awarding Japanese Charter Authorizations, of
 our rules established procedures for allocating among U.S. carriers the
 charter authorizations available in the United States-Japan market under
 the September 7, 1982, Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United
 States and Japan. Under  the MOU, U.S. carriers may operate 300 one-way
 charters annually for the duration of the agreement.  Part 320 provided for
 a one-time allocation of the 300 available charters for a three-year
 period.  It provided that certificated carriers with a recent history of
 charter operations in the Japan market receive a certain number of
 grandfather allocations based upon the level of their recent operations,
 and that the remaining flights be awarded under the rule through a lottery
 open to all U.S. carriers holding authority in the market and having the
 operational capability to serve Japan. The authorizations were formally
 allocated by Order 82-10-46.

     To assure  that the authorizations were used efficiently and not
 wasted, the rule allows for the intercarrier transfer of authorizations;
 but it imposes, in section 320.14(c), a penalty on excessive transfers of
 grandfather authorizations, requiring carriers that transfer more than ten
 percent of their grandfather authorizations in any year to forfeit one
 flight in each future year for each flight transferred above the ten
 percent threshold. Section 320.15 places a penalty on  the non-use of any
 authorizations, requiring forfeiture of two flights in each future year for
 every flight not used. 1/



 1/   In a case where this non-use penalty would exceed the number of
 flights available to a carrier, its future-year allocation would be zero.
