regulations to suspend service at
Benton Harbor/St. Joseph, Michigan
---------- --      -- -- -- -- --

                       ORDER EXTENDING SERVICE OBLIGATION

On April 4, 1986, Air Wisconsin, Inc. filed a 90-day notice  of its intent
to suspend all of its service to Benton Harbor/St. Joseph, Michigan,  effec-
tive July 4, 1986.  By Order 86-7-16, the Department prohibited  Air Wisconsin's
suspension and requested proposals to provide essential  air service to Benton
Harbor/St. Joseph from all interested carriers.  Also, we  indicated that we
would undertake a review of the communities' essential  air service requirements
once we received proposals.

Since proposals for replacement service are not due  until August 10, we must
require Air Wisconsin to continue to provide essential  air service to the
communities.  Therefore, in accordance with section 419(a)(6)  of the Act,
we will extend Air Wisconsin's service obligation at Benton  Harbor/St. Joseph
for a 30-day period through September 2, 1986, or until  completion of the es-
sential air service case, whichever occurs first.

This order is issued under authority assigned  in 14 CFR Part 385.

ACCORDINGLY,

1.  The Department requires Air Wisconsin,  Inc., to maintain essential air
service between Benton Harbor/St. Joseph, Michigan  and Chicago, Illinois,
for  30 days, through September 2, 1986, or until a replacement carrier that
is capable of providing essential air  service actually begins service, which-
ever  occurs first;

2.  The Department directs Air Wisconsin to  retain all books, records and
other  sources and summary documentation, including copies of interline
flight  coupons, to support claims for payments for the service the carrier
is  being required to maintain and to preserve and maintain such documentation
in  d manner that readily permits the audit and examination thereof by repre-
sentatives of the Department  of Transportation; and
