        certificates of air carriers
        
    (a) Issuance.--The Secretary of Transportation may issue a

United States authorizing the citizen to provide any part of the 
following air transportation the citizen has applied for under section 
41108 of this title:
        (1) air transportation as an air carrier.

    period.
        (3) charter air transportation as a charter air carrier.

    (b) Findings Required for Issuance.--(1) Before issuing a 
certificate under subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary must 
find that the citizen is fit, willing, and able to provide the 
transportation to be authorized by the certificate and to comply with 
this part and regulations of the Secretary.
    (2) In addition to the findings under paragraph (1) of this 
subsection, the Secretary, before issuing a certificate under subsection 
(a) of this section for foreign air transportation, must find that the 
transportation is consistent with the public convenience and necessity.
    (c) Temporary Certificates.--The Secretary may issue a certificate 
under subsection (a) of this section for interstate air transportation 
(except the transportation of passengers) or foreign air transportation 
for a temporary period of time (whether the application is for permanent 
or temporary authority) when the Secretary decides that a test period is 
desirable--
        (1) to decide if the projected services, efficiencies, methods, 
    and prices and the projected results will materialize and remain for 
    a sustained period of time; or
        (2) to evaluate the new transportation.

    (d) Foreign Air Transportation.--The Secretary shall submit each 
decision authorizing the provision of foreign air transportation to the 
President under section 41307 of this title.

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

    In this section, the words ``citizen of the United States'' and 
``citizen'' are substituted for ``applicant'' for clarity and 
consistency because only a citizen of the United States may be an ``air 
carrier'' as defined in section 40102(a) of the revised title, and only 
an air carrier may be a ``charter air carrier'' as defined in section 
40102(a). The word ``provide'' is substituted for ``perform'' for 
consistency in the revised title.
    In subsection (a), before clause (1), the words ``of public 
convenience and necessity'' are added for clarity. The words ``any part 
of'' are substituted for ``the whole or any part of'' to eliminate 
unnecessary words. In clauses (2) and (3), the words ``In the case of'' 
are omitted as surplus. In clause (3), the words ``for such periods'' 
are omitted as surplus.
    In subsection (b)(1), the word ``comply'' is substituted for 
``conform'' for consistency in the revised title. The words ``properly'' 
and ``requirements'' are omitted as surplus. The word ``rules'' is 
omitted as being synonymous with ``regulations''.
    In subsection (b)(2), the words ``foreign air transportation'' are 
added because 49 App.:1551(a)(1)(A) provides that 49 App.:1371(d)(1)-(3) 
no longer applies to interstate or overseas transportation of persons. 
After January 1, 1985, other interstate and overseas air transportation 
and the domestic air transportation of mail do not require a certificate 
of public convenience and necessity. See H. Rept. 98-793, 98th Cong., 2d 
Sess., p.10 (1984).
    In subsection (c), before clause (1), the words ``issue a 
certificate'' are substituted for ``grant an application'' for 
consistency in this chapter. The words ``for interstate air 
transportation (except the transportation of passengers) or foreign air 
transportation'' are added for clarity and consistency. The word 
``only'' is omitted as surplus. In clause (1), the word ``prices'' is 
substituted for ``rates, fares, charges'' because of the definition of 
``price'' in section 40102(a) of the revised title. The words ``in 
fact'' are omitted as surplus. In clause (2), the words ``to assess the 
impact of the new services on the national air route structure, or 
otherwise'' are omitted as surplus.
    Subsection (d) is added for clarity.
