    provide non-stop or single-plane foreign air transportation between 
    2 places, may end or suspend the transportation between those places 
    only when the carrier gives at least 60 days notice of its intention 
    to end or suspend the transportation to the Secretary and each 
    community directly affected by that decision.

    (b) Temporary Suspension.--The Secretary may authorize the temporary 
suspension of foreign air transportation under subsection (a) of this

---------------------------------

    In the section, the text of 49 App.:1371(j) (related to interstate 
and overseas transportation of persons) is omitted because of 49 
App.:1551(a)(1)(D). The text of 49 App.:1371(j) (related to other 
interstate and overseas air transportation and the domestic air 
transportation of mail) is omitted because a certificate of public 
convenience and necessity is no longer required. See H.R. Rept. 98-793, 
98th Cong., 2d Sess., p. 10 (1984). The text of 49 App.:1371(j) (related 
to essential air transportation) is omitted as superseded by 49 
App.:1389, restated as subchapter II of chapter 417 of title 49.
    In subsection (a)(1) and (2), the word ``place'' is substituted for 
``point'' for consistency in the revised title. The words ``by that 
decision'' are added for clarity.
    In subsection (a)(1), the words ``which it is providing'' are 
omitted as surplus. The word ``authority'' is substituted for ``agency'' 
for consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the United 
States Code.
    In subsection (a)(2), the words ``between those places'' are 
substituted for ``being provided by such air carrier under such 
certificate'' to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (b), the words ``by regulation or otherwise'' are 
omitted as surplus. The words ``when the Secretary finds the suspension 
is in'' are substituted for ``as may be'' for clarity and consistency.


                             Pub. L. 104-287

    This amends 49:41312(a)(1) to conform to the style of title 49.


                               Amendments

    1996--Subsec. (a)(1). Pub. L. 104-287 substituted ``Secretary of 
Transportation'' for ``Secretary''.
