For the purposes of this part:

An "affiliate" of a long-haul motor carrier or an air freight forwarder means a person who controls such carrier or is controlled by such carrier or by another person who controls or is controlled by such carrier. A person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10 percent or more of the outstanding issued capital stock of a carrier, in the absence of a proper showing to the Board that he does not control the carrier despite his stock ownership, shall be deemed to control the carrier for purposes of this part. "Air Freight Forwarding Operations" means the operations of the reporting forwarder conducted under its own air waybills (or other documents serving the same purpose)—and not its operations as an agent of a shipper or of a direct air carrier.

"Consolidation" means air freight, handled in the air freight forwarding operations of the forwarder, which is tendered to a direct air carrier (or other freight forwarder in the case of joint loading) where the reporting forwarder is consignor and consignee.

"Cooperative Shippers Association" means any indirect air carrier classified and defined as such in Part 296 of this chapter.

"Domestic" shall apply to operations between or within any of the states of the United States and the District of Columbia.

"Freight Forwarder" means any indirect air carrier classified and defined as an "Air Freight Forwarder" in Part 296 of this chapter or as an "International Air Freight Forwarder" in Part 297 of this chapter.

"Long-haul motor carrier" means a motor carrier holding operating rights issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission to haul general commodities be

tween any pair of points which are over 500 air miles apart, or an affiliate of such a carrier.

"Overseas/Foreign" shall apply to all operations other than Domnestic; including but not limited to overseas operations between a place in a State, or the District of Columbia and any place in a territory or possession of the United States, or between a place in a territory or possession of the United States, and a place in any other territory or possession of the United States and foreign operations between a place in the United States and any place outside thereof.

"Originating Air Station" means any air station at which the reporting forwarder receives shipments as a freight forwarder by air and tenders them to direct air carriers at such station whether such activity is undertaken directly by the reporting forwarder or through an agent.

"Shipment" means (1) a single consignment of one or more pieces, from one shipper, at one time, at one address, receipted for in one lot, and moving on one air waybill to one consignee at one destination address (with respect to Schedule T-1, Item 9 and Schedule T-2) or (2) air freight which the reporting carrier does not handle in its air freight forwarding operations (with respect to Schedule T-1, Items 10-12).

§ 244.2 Applicability.

(a) Every freight forwarder holding effective authority from the Board shall periodically prepare and file the financial, operating and insurance report entitled "Report of Air Freight Forwarders and International Air Freight Forwarders," (CAB Form 244) as provided in this part whether or not such forwarder is actively engaged in air freight forwarding operations.1

(b) Each cooperative shippers association shall annually file with the Board the financial and operating report, entitled "Annual Report of Cooperative Shippers Associations", (CAB Form 244A) hereinafter described. Each such association shall fille this report regardless of whether it is inactive during the

report period and where items are not applicable the word "none" should be inserted.

§ 244.3 Extension of filing time.

If circumstances prevent the filing of a report within the prescribed time limit, consideration will be given to the granting of an extension upon receipt of a written request therefor. Such a request must give good and sufficient reason to justify granting the extension, must set forth the date when the report can be filed, and be submitted sufficiently in advance of the due date to permit proper time for consideration and communication to the indirect air carrier of the action taken. Except in cases of emergency no such request will be entertained which is not received in sufficient time to enable the Civil Aeronautics Board to pass thereon before the prescribed due date. If a request is denied, the indirect air carrier remains subject to the filing requirements to the same extent as if no request for extension of time had been made.

[blocks in formation]

A waiver of any provision of this regulation may be granted by the Board upon its own initiative or upon the submission by an indirect air carrier of a written request therefor, provided that such a waiver is in the public interest and it appears to the Board that temporary or particular conditions warrant a departure from the provisions set forth herein.

§ 244.5 Separability.

If any provision of this part or the application thereof to any indirect air carrier or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of this part and the application of such provision to other indirect air carriers or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
