[Notice of Order (Order 2007-3- ); Docket OST-2006-25307]


International Air Transport Association Tariff Conference 
Proceeding

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Transportation.

SUMMARY: The Department is issuing an order withdrawing its approval 
under 49 U.S.C. 41309 for an International Air Transport Association 
(``IATA'') agreement, the Provisions for the Conduct of the IATA 
Traffic Conferences, insofar as that agreement establishes conferences 
whereby IATA's member carriers discuss and agree upon passenger fares 
and cargo rates for U.S.-Australia/Europe markets. The withdrawal of 
approval will become effective on June 30, 2007. The Department's 
withdrawal of its approval for the agreement will end the agreement's 
immunity from the antitrust laws under 49 U.S.C. 41308 for conference 
discussions of fares and rates for the U.S.-Australia/Europe markets. 
This order makes final the tentative findings and conclusions set forth 
in the Department's show-cause order, Order 2006-7-3 (July 5, 2006).

DATES: The withdrawal of approval will become effective on June 30, 
2007.
