ERRA TUM

Summary By Order 2007- 1-2, January 5, 2007, the Department requested proposals from air carriers interested in providing essential air service (EM) at: Iron MountainKingsford, Michigan; Ironwood, MichigadAsliland, Wisconsin; Maiiistec/Ludingtoii, Michigan; and Escanaba, Michigan, for a new two-ycar period, beginning June 1, 2007, with or without subsidy. Upon review and consultation with the Gogebic-Iron County Airport Manager and , Inc., d/b/a (Skyway Airlines), the incumbent EAS air carrier, it was discovered that the enplanenient data detailed in Appendix B of- Order 2007- 1-2, was incorrect. The corrccted data for Calendar Years 2005 and 2006 are detailed in Appendix B.

Carriers should file their proposals no later that February 9, 2007. Consistent with EAS Program practice, we will give full consideration to all proposals filed in a timely manner. I

ACCORD I NGLY, 1. We request that carriers interested in providing essential air service at Iron Mountain/Kingsford, Michigan; Ironwood, MichiganIAshland, Wisconsin; Manistee/Ludington, Michigan; and Escanaba, Michigan, submit their proposals, with or without subsidy requests, no later than February 9, 2007. The proposals should be sent to the EAS & Domestic Analysis Division, X-53, Office of Aviation Analysis, Room 640 1, Department of Transportation, 400 7th

' Carriers should not expect the Department to accept late fillings. In cases where a carrier proposes to provide essential air service without subsidy and we determine that service can be reliably provided without such compensation, we do not proceed with the carrier-selection case. Instead, we simply rely on that carrier's subsidy- free service as proposed. -2-
