Upon review and consultation with the Gogebic-Iron County Airport Manager and Skyway Airlines, Inc., d/b/a Midwest Connect (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.

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- Street S.W., Washington, DC 20590, with the title “Proposal to Provide Essential Air Service at: Iron Mountain/Kiiigsford, Michigan (Docket OST- 1 999-5 1 75); Ironwood, MichigaidAshland, Wisconsin (Docket OST-1999-5 172); Manistee/Ludington, Michigan (Docket OST- 1996- 171 I); and Escanaba, Michigan (Docket OST-2003- 15 128).”2 2.
