DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

[Docket 37554]


Notice of Order Adjusting the Standard Foreign Fare Level Index

    Section 41509(e) of Title 49 of the United States Code requires 
that the Department, as successor to the Civil Aeronautics Board, 
establish a Standard Foreign Fare Level (SFFL) by adjusting the SFFL 
base periodically by percentage changes in actual operating costs per 
available seat-mile (ASM). Order 80-2-69 established the first interim 
SFFL, and Order 96-6-41 established the currently effective two-month 
SFFL applicable through July 31, 1996.
    In establishing the SFFL for the two-month period beginning August 
1, 1996, we have projected non-fuel costs based on the year ended March 
31, 1996 data, and have determined fuel prices on the basis of the 
latest available experienced monthly fuel cost levels as reported to 
the Department.
    By Order 96-8-21 fares may be increased by the following adjustment 
factors over the October 1979 level:

Atlantic--1.4533
Latin America--1.5470
Pacific--1.5278

    For further information contact: Keith A. Shangraw.

    By the Department of Transportation.
Patrick V. Murphy,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs.
