(b) An air carrier may do business in such other and different name or names as the Board may by order permit, upon a finding that the use of such other name or names is not contrary to the public interest. Any such permission may be made conditional upon the abandonment of the use of the name in which its letter of registration is issued and outstanding, in air transportation service by the air carrier concerned, or otherwise be made subject to such reasonable terms and conditions as the Board may find necessary to protect the public interest.

(c) Slogans shall not be considered names for the purposes of this section, and their use is not restricted hereby.

(d) Neither the provisions of this section nor the grant of a permission hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a finding for purposes other than for this section, or to effect a waiver of, or exemption from, any provisions of the Civil Aeronautics Act, or any orders, rules, or regulations issued thereunder.

NOTE: In order to assist carriers in complying with this section, applications should generally conform to the pertinent portions of the Rules of Practice Applicable to Exemption Proceedings (§§ 302.400 to 302.409 of this chapter). An executed original and 19 true copies of each application, properly subscribed, should be filed with the Docket Section, Civil Aeronautics Board, Washington 25, D. C., which will assign a docket number thereto. In accordance with its regular practice, the Docket Section will summarize the contents of the application in the "Weekly Notice of Applications Filed" which is available to the public on request through the Board's Publications Section.

The applicant should set forth in detail the facts relied upon to establish a due showing that the use of the other name proposed would not be contrary to the public interest. Specifically, the application should contain the following information:

1. The name of the carrier as contained in its current certificate of public convenience and necessity or other economic authorization from the Board.

2. The other name which the carrier proposes to use in connection with its air transportation operations.

3. Evidence in support of the required due showing that the use of the other name will not be adverse to the public interest.

If the applicant alleges that it has developed good will in the other name, it must in addition set forth in detail facts to show the nature and extent thereof. In this connection, the application should set forth evidence showing the following:

1. The existence of the good will.

2. The length of time which the other name has been used by the applicant.

3. The amount of money invested in the development of the good will.

4. That the use of the other name does not constitute an unfair or deceptive practice or method of competition in air transportation.

The application should be accompanied by a statement of supporting economic data and a record of service upon other interested parties. Service of the application should be made upon other interested carriers such as those which use a name similar in whole or in part to that proposed by the applicant.

The Board urges, in the interest of facilitating compliance with the new regulations, that any air carrier seeking permission to use a name different from the one now authorized should file its application with the Board as soon as possible.

SOURCE: The provisions of this Part 292 contained in ER-410, 29 F.R. 9822, July 22, 1964.

An Alaskan air carrier which holds a certificate of public convenience and necessity issued by the Board may make charter trips and render other special services between points on routes which it is authorized by its certificate to serve. Charter trips and other special services may also be rendered to or from any other point within or without Alaska: Provided, however, That such trips originate at or are destined to a point in Alaska which is named in the carrier's certificate or which is located within 25 miles of the airline course over the carrier's regular route and is actually being served by the carrier as an intermediate point pursuant to a schedule on file with the Board under section 405 (b) of the Act; And provided further, That all such trips to and from points outside of Alaska are casual, occasional, or infre

quent, and are not made in such manner as to result in establishing a regular or scheduled service.

§ 292.3

Procedural requirements.

Notwithstanding the requirements of any other regulation, order or rule of the Board, the following special provisions shall apply in the case of Alaskan air carriers:

(a) Filing of documents with Alaska Liaison Office. A true copy of every application, motion, petition or complaint filed with the Board by or in behalf of any Alaskan air carrier or in connection with air transportation performed or sought to be performed by such air carrier shall be sent simultaneously by air mail to the Board's Alaska Liaison Office, Anchorage, Alaska. Such copy need not bear original signatures.

(b) Posting and preservation of documents. The Alaska Office copies of all documents subject to this part which are required by the Act, or by the regulations, orders, or rules of the Board thereunder to be posted in the offices of the Board in Washington, D.C., shall be posted in the office of the authorized representative of the Board in the Alaska Liaison Office; and the Alaska Office copies of documents which are required by section 1103 of the Act to be preserved as public records in the custody of the Secretary of the Board shall be preserved as public records in the custody of the authorized representative of the Board in the Alaska Liaison Office under such reasonable arrangements as he may make for public inspection thereof. Such posting and preservation as public records shall be in addition to those in the Board's offices in Washington, D.C.

§ 292.4 Off-route schedules; filing requirements and effect thereof.

(a) An Alaskan air carrier which desires to include in schedules which it files under section 405 (b) of the Act any new off-route point, pursuant to a provision in its certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing it to serve as an intermediate point any point not more than 25 miles off the airline course over its regular route, shall file such schedule not later than 30 days prior to the desired effective date. The schedule shall be accompanied by a statement setting out all applicable economic data bearing on the need for the proposed service: Provided, That the Board

may permit the filing of such schedules within less than 30 days prior to the desired effective date upon a showing that the public interest will thereby be served.

(b) A flight schedule filed pursuant to this section may be operated according to its terms unless, at least five days prior to the effective date thereof, the Board notifies the carrier that inauguration of such service shall be deferred. Nothing herein contained shall alter the provision in an Alaskan air carrier's certificate whereby the Board may require the holder, without advance notice and without hearing, to suspend indefinitely, or for some other period, further operation of any such service which may have been inaugurated.

This part establishes the terms, conditions, and limitations of transatlantic supplemental air transportation.

§ 295.2 Definitions.

As used in this part, unless the context otherwise requires

(a) "Transatlantic supplemental air transportation" means charter flights in air transportation performed pursuant to a certificate of public convenience and necessity issued under section 401(d) (3) of the Act authorizing the holder to engage in supplemental air transportation of persons and their personal baggage between points within the 48 contiguous States of the United States, on the one hand, and points in Greenland, Iceland, the Azores, Europe, Africa, and Asia, as far east as (and including) India, on the other hand.

(b) "Charter flight" means air transportation performed by a direct air carrier on a time, mileage or trip basis where (1) the entire capacity of one or more aircraft has been engaged for the movement of persons and their personal baggage

(i) By a person for his own use (including a direct air carrier when such aircraft is engaged solely for the transportation of company personnel or commercial passenger traffic in cases of emergency); or

(ii) By a representative (or representatives acting jointly) of a group for the use of such group (provided no such representative is professionally engaged in the formation of groups for the transportation or in the solicitation or sale of transportation services);

or (2) one-half the capacity of an aircraft has been engaged by a person for his own use or by a representative or representatives of a group for the use of such

group and the remaining half of the capacity of such aircraft has been engaged by another person for his own use or by a representative or representatives of a second group (provided no such representative is professionally engaged in the formation of groups for the transportation or in the solicitation or sale of transportation services).

With the consent of the charterer, the direct air carrier may utilize any unused space for the transportation of the carrier's own personnel and property.

(c) "Pro rata charter" means a charter the cost of which is divided among the passengers transported.

(d) "Single entity charter" means a charter the cost of which is borne by the charterer and not by individual passengers, directly or indirectly.

(e) "Mixed charter" means a charter the cost of which is borne, or pursuant to contract may be borne, partly by the charter participants and partly by the charterer.

(f) "Person" means any individual, firm, association, partnership, or corporation.

(g) "Travel agent" means any person engaged in the formation of groups for transportation or in the solicitation or sale of transportation services.

(h) "Charter group" means that body of individuals who shall actually participate in the charter flight.

(i) "Charter organization" means that organization, group or other entity from whose members (and their immediate families) a charter group is derived.

(j) "Immediate family" means only the following persons who are living in the household of a member of a charter organization, namely, the spouse, dependent children, and parents, of such member.

(k) "Bona fide members" means those members of a charter organization who have not joined the organization merely to participate in the charter as the result of solicitation directed to the general public. Presumptively persons are not bona fide members of a charter organization unless they are members at the time the organization first gives notice to its members of firm charter plans and unless they have actually been members for a minimum period of six months prior to the starting flight date. This presumption will not be applicable in the case of charters composed of (1) students and educational staff of a single

school, and immediate families thereof, (2) employees of a single Government agency, industrial plant, or mercantile establishment, and immediate families thereof, or (3) participants in a formal academic study course abroad. In the case of all other charters, rebuttal to this presumption may be offered for the Board's consideration by request for waiver.

(1) "Solicitation of the general public" means:

(1) A solicitation going beyond the bona fide members of an organization (and their immediate families). This includes air transportation services offered by an air carrier under circumstances in which the services are advertised in mass media, whether or not the advertisement is addressed to members of a specific organization, and regardless of who places or pays for the advertising. Mass media shall be deemed to include radio and television, and newspapers and magazines. Advertising in such media as newsletters or periodicals of membership organizations, industrial plant newsletters, college radio stations and college newspapers shall not be considered advertising in mass media to the extent that

(i) The advertising is placed in a medium of communication circulated mainly to members of an organization that would be eligible to obtain charter service, and

(ii) The advertising states that the charter is open only to members of the organization referred to in subdivision (i) of this subparagraph, or only to members of a subgroup thereof. In this context, a subgroup shall be any group with membership drawn primarily from members of the organization referred to in subdivision (i) of this subparagraph: Provided, That this paragraph shall not be construed as prohibiting air carrier advertising which offers charter services to bona fide organizations, without reference to a particular organization or flight.

(2) The solicitation, without limitation, of the members of an organization so constituted as to ease of admission to membership, and nature of membership, as to be in substance more in the nature of a segment of the public than a private entity.

[ER-408, 29 F.R. 6005, May 7, 1964, as amended by ER-427, 30 F.R. 2656, Mar. 2, 1965]

§ 295.5

Records and record retention.

(a) Prior to performing any supplemental air transportation pursuant to this part the carrier shall execute, and require the travel agent (if any) and charterer to execute, the form "Statement of Supporting Information" attached hereto and made a part hereof.

(b) Each air carrier operating pursuant to this part shall comply with the applicable record-retention provisions of Part 249 of this subchapter, as amended. [ER-408, 29 F.R. 6005, May 7, 1964, as amended by ER-421, 29 F.R. 14025, Oct. 10, 1964]

The carrier shall also require that the charterer and any travel agent involved shall furnish it in due time for review before flight the information required in §§ 295.36 and 295.22, respectively.

No air carrier shall perform any supplemental air transportation unless such air carrier shall have on file with the Board a currently effective tariff showing all rates, fares, and charges for the use of the entire capacity or one-half the capacity of one or more aircraft in such supplemental air transportation and showing all rules, regulation practices and services in connection with such supplemental air transportation, including eligibility requirements for charter groups not inconsistent with those established in this part.

§ 295.14 Terms of service.

(a) The total charter price and other terms of service rendered pursuant to this part shall conform to those set forth in the applicable tariff on file with the Board and in force at the time of the respective charter flight and the contract must be for the entire capacity or for one-half the capacity of one or more aircraft. Where a carrier's charter charge computed according to a mileage tariff includes a charge for ferry mileage, the carrier shall refund to the charterer any sum charged for ferry mileage which is not in fact flown in the performance of the charter: Provided, That the carrier shall not charge the charterer for
