§ 302.1501 - Applicability.

This subpart sets forth the rules applicable to certain contractual arrangements between the Postal Service and certificated air carriers for the transportation of mail by air entered into pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 5402(a), 84 Stat. 772. Such contracts must be for the transportation of at least 750 pounds of mail per flight, and no more than 5 percent, based on weight, of the international mail transported under any such contract may consist of letter mail. Any such contract is required by the statute to be filed with the Department not later than 90 days before its effective date, and unless the Department disapproves the contract not later than 10 days prior to its effective date, the contract automatically becomes effective.
