05/2004

APPENDIX B

CODE-SHARE CONDITONS

(a)  The statement of authorization will remain in effect as long as:
(i) American and China Eastern continue to hold the necessary underlying
authority to operate the code-share services at issue; and, (ii) the
code-share agreement providing for the code-share operations remain in
effect.

(b) American and China Eastern must promptly notify the Department
(Office of International Aviation) if the code-share agreement providing
for the code-share operations is no longer effective or if the carriers
decide to cease operating all or a portion of the approved code-share
services.  Such notices should be filed in Docket OST-2005-23473 and
OST-2005-23741.

(c) American and/or China Eastern must notify the Department no later
than 30 days before they begin any new code-share service under the
code-share services authorized here.  Such notice shall identify the
market(s) to be served, which carrier will be operating the aircraft in
the code-share market added, and the date on which the service will
begin.  Such notices should be filed in Docket OST-2005-23473 and
OST-2005-23471.

(d) The code-sharing operations conducted under this authority must
comply with 14 CFR 257 and with any amendments to the Department’s
regulations concerning code-share arrangements that may be adopted.
Notwithstanding any provisions in the contract between the carriers, our
approval here is expressly conditioned upon the requirements that the
subject foreign air transportation be sold in the name of the carrier
holding out such service in the computer reservation systems and
elsewhere; that the carrier selling such transportation (i.e., the
carrier shown on the ticket) accept responsibility for the entirety of
the code-share journey for all obligations established in its contract
of carriage with the passenger; that the passenger liability of the
operating carrier be unaffected; and that the operating carrier shall
not permit the code of its U.S. code-sharing partner to be carried on
any flight that enters, departs, or transits the airspace of any area
for whose airspace the Federal Aviation Administration has issued a
flight prohibition.

(e)  The authority to operate to third countries is subject to the
condition that any service provided under the statement of authorization
shall be consistent with all applicable agreements between the United
States and the foreign countries involved.  Furthermore, (i) nothing in
the award of this blanket statement of authorization should be construed
as conferring upon American and China Eastern rights (including
code-share, fifth freedom intermediate and/or beyond rights) to serve
markets where U.S. carrier rights are limited unless American and China
Eastern notify us of their intent to serve such a market and unless and
until the Department has completed any necessary carrier selection
procedures to determine which carrier(s) should be authorized to
exercise such rights; and (ii) should there be a request by any carrier
to use the limited-entry route rights that are included in American and
China Eastern’s authority by virtue of the blanket statement of
authorization granted here, but that are not being used by American and
China Eastern, the holding of such authority will not be considered as
providing any preference for American and China Eastern in a competitive
carrier selection proceeding to determine which carrier(s) should be
entitled to use the authority at issue; and

(f) The authority granted here is specifically conditioned so that
neither American nor China Eastern shall give any force or effect to any
contractual provisions between themselves that are contrary to these
conditions.

(g) We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted at any time
without hearing at our discretion.

 American initially proposes to code share to cities in China by placing
its designator code on China Eastern’s flights connecting to
American’s Chicago-Shanghai service and China Eastern’s Los
Angeles/San Francisco-Beijing/Shanghai services.  (China Eastern is
already authorized to display American’s code on China Eastern’s Los
Angeles/San Francisco-Beijing/Shanghai flights.  See Notice of Action
Taken, Docket OST-1998-3622, and undocketed, May 8, 1998.)
Specifically, the initial city pairs involved are Shanghai, on the one
hand, and Beijing, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing, Dalian, Fuzhou,
Guangzhou, Guilin, Harbin, Kunming, Nanchang, Ningbo, Qingdao, Shenzhen,
Shenyang, Wenzhou, Wuhan, Xiamen, and Xian, on the other hand.

 We expect this notification to be received within 10 days of such
non-effectiveness or of such decision.

 The notice referenced in condition (c) above may be used for this
notification.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon written request, copies available from: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC
20549.

Extension:
    Rule 17i-4; SEC File No. 270-530; OMB Control No. 3235-0594.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a
request for extension of the previously approved collection of
information discussed below.
    Section 231 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 \1\ (the
``GLBA'') amended Section 17 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (the ``Act'' or the ``Exchange Act'') to create a
regulatory framework under which a holding company of a broker-dealer
(``investment bank holding company'' or ``IBHC'') may voluntarily be
supervised by the Commission as a supervised investment bank holding
company (or ``SIBHC'').\2\ In 2004, the Commission promulgated rules,
including Rule 17i-4, (17 CFR 240.17i-4.) to create a framework for the
Commission to supervise SIBHCs.\3\ This framework includes
qualification criteria for SIBHCs, as well as recordkeeping and
reporting requirements. Among other things, this regulatory framework
for SIBHCs is intended to provide a basis for non-U.S. financial
regulators to treat the Commission as the principal U.S. consolidated
home-country supervisor for SIBHCs and their affiliated broker-
dealers.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Pub. L. 106-102, 113 Stat. 1338 (1999).
    \2\ See 15 U.S.C. 78q(i).
    \3\ See Exchange Act Release No. 49831 (Jun. 8, 2004), 69 FR
34472 (Jun. 21, 2004).
    \4\ See H.R. Conf. Rep. No. 106-434, 165 (1999). See also
Exchange Act Release No. 49831, at 6 (Jun. 8, 2004), 69 FR 34472, at
34473 (Jun. 21, 2004).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 17i-4 requires an SIBHC to comply with present Exchange Act
Rule 15c3-4 \5\ as though it were a broker-dealer, which requires that
the firm establish, document and maintain a system of internal risk
management controls to assist it in managing the risks associated with
its business activities (including market, credit, operational,
funding, and legal risks). In addition, Rule 17i-4 requires that an
SIBHC establish, document, and maintain procedures for the detection
and prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing as part of
its internal risk management control system. Finally, Rule 17i-4
requires that an SIBHC periodically review its internal risk management
control system for integrity of the risk measurement, monitoring, and
management process, and accountability, at the appropriate
organizational level, for defining the permitted scope of activity and
level of risk.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 17 CFR 240.15c3-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The collection of information required pursuant to Rule 17i-4 is
needed so that the Commission can adequately supervise the activities
of these SIBHCs, and to allow the Commission to effectively determine
whether supervision of an IBHC as an SIBHC is necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of Section 17 of the Act. Without this
information, the Commission would be unable to adequately supervise the
SIBHC as provided for under the Exchange Act.
    We estimate that three IBHCs will file Notices of Intention with
the Commission to be supervised by the Commission as SIBHCs. An SIBHC
will require, on average, about 3,600 hours to assess its present
structure, businesses, and controls, and establish and document its
risk management control system. In addition, an SIBHC will require, on
average, approximately 250

hours each year to maintain its risk management control system.
Consequently, the total initial burden for all SIBHCs is approximately
10,800 hours \6\ and the continuing annual burden is about 750
hours.\7\ Thus, the total burden relating to Rule 17i-4 for all SIBHCs
is approximately 11,550 hours \8\ in the first year, and approximately
750 hours each year thereafter.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ (3,600 hours x 3 SIBHCs) = 10,800 hours.
    \7\ (250 hours per year x 3 SIBHCs) = 750 hours per year.
    \8\ (3,600 hours x 3 SIBHCs) + (250 hours per year x 3 SIBHCs).
    \9\ (250 hours per year x 3 SIBHCs).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We believe that an IBHC likely will upgrade its information
technology (``IT'') systems in order to more efficiently comply with
certain of the SIBHC framework rules (including Rules 17i-4, 17i-5,
17i-6 and 17i-7), and that this would be a one-time cost. Depending on
the state of development of the IBHC's IT systems, it would cost an
IBHC between $1 million and $10 million to upgrade its IT systems to
comply with the SIBHC framework of rules. Thus, on average, it would
cost each of the three IBHCs about $5.5 million to upgrade their IT
systems, or approximately $16.5 million in total. It is impossible to
determine what percentage of the IT systems costs would be attributable
to each Rule, so we allocated the total estimated upgrade costs equally
(at 25% for each of the above-mentioned Rules), with $4,125,000
attributable to Rule 17i-4.
    The records required to be created pursuant to Rule 17i-4 must be
preserved for a period of not less than three years.\10\ The collection
of information is mandatory and the information required to be provided
to the Commission pursuant to this Rule is deemed confidential pursuant
to Section 17(j) of the Exchange Act and Section 552(b)(3)(B) of the
Freedom of Information Act,\11\ notwithstanding any other provision of
law.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 17 CFR 240.17i-5(b)(5).
    \11\ 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(3)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
    Comments should be directed to: (i) the Desk Officer for the
Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New
Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503 or by sending an e-mail
to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Shirley
Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an e-
mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Comments must be submitted to OMB within
30 days of this notice.
