                          CHAPTER 415--PRICING
 
Sec. 41505. Uniform methods for establishing joint prices, and 
        divisions of joint prices, applicable to commuter air carriers
        
    (a) Definition.--In this section, ``commuter air carrier'' means an 
air carrier providing transportation under section 40109(f) of this 
title that provides at least 5 scheduled roundtrips a week between the 
same 2 places.
    (b) General.--Except as provided in subsection (c) of this section, 
when the Secretary of Transportation prescribes under section 41508 or 
41509 of this title a uniform method generally applicable to 
establishing joint prices and divisions of joint prices for and between 
air carriers holding certificates issued under section 41102 of this 
title, the Secretary shall make that uniform method apply to 
establishing joint prices and divisions of joint prices for and between 
air carriers and commuter air carriers.
    (c) Notice Required Before Modifying, Suspending, or Ending 
Transportation.--A commuter air carrier that has an agreement with an 
air carrier to provide transportation for passengers and property that 
includes through service by the commuter air carrier over the commuter 
air carrier's routes and air transportation provided by the air carrier 
shall give the air carrier and the Secretary at least 90 days' notice 
before modifying, suspending, or ending the transportation. If the 
commuter air carrier does not give that notice, the uniform method of 
establishing joint prices and divisions of joint prices referred to in 
subsection (b) of this section does not apply to the commuter air 
carrier.

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

    In subsection (a), the text of 49 App.:1482a(2)(A) is omitted as 
unnecessary because the definition of ``air carrier'' in 49 App.:1301(3) 
is restated in section 40102(a) of the revised title and applies to this 
section and because the functions of the Civil Aeronautics Board under 
49 App.:1482a were transferred to the Secretary of Transportation by 49 
App.:1551(b)(1)(E) and the complete name of the Secretary is used the 
first time the term appears in a section. The text of 49 App.:1482a(3) 
is omitted as executed. The reference in the source provisions to 
``section 416(b)(3) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 [49 App. U.S.C. 
1386(b)(3)]'' has been restated as though it were a reference to section 
416(b)(4) to correct an apparent error in the Airline Deregulation Act 
of 1978 (Public Law 95-504, 92 Stat. 1705). Section 24 of H.R. 12611 of 
the 95th Congress (the derivative source for 416(b)(4)), added section 
416(b)(3) to the Federal Aviation Act. Section 29(c) added provisions 
that eventually were classified as 49 App.:1482a. Those provisions 
contained a reference to section 416(b)(3). When S. 2493 (passed in lieu 
of the House bill after being amended to contain much of the text of the 
House bill) was reported by the conference committee and enacted into 
law, section 32 added what had been a new 416(b)(3) as a new 416(b)(4). 
However, the conference committee did not make a corresponding change in 
the cross-reference in section 37(c), that added 49 App.:1482a. See 124 
Cong. Rec. 30714, 30716, 36521, 36524. The word ``scheduled'' is 
substituted for ``pursuant to flight schedules'' to eliminate 
unnecessary words. The words ``the same 2 places'' are substituted for 
``one pair of points'' for consistency in the revised title and with 
other titles of the United States Code.
    In subsection (b), the words ``Except as provided in subsection (c) 
of this section'' are added for clarity. The words ``pursuant to its 
authority'' are omitted as surplus.
    In subsection (c), the word ``passengers'' is substituted for 
``persons'' for consistency in the revised title and with other titles 
of the Code. The words ``through service by the commuter air carrier 
over the commuter air carrier's routes'' are substituted for 
``transportation over its routes'' for clarity. The words ``between air 
carriers and commuter air carriers'' are omitted as surplus.
