1、680 49 CFR Subtitle A (10110 Edition) 89.45 all or part of the debt is not past-due or legally enforceable. (However, this does not extend the regulatory period for submitting written statements or for requesting an administrative hear-ing on the merits of an alleged viola-tion, nor does it extend t

2、he period to appeal an assessed civil penalty.) To comply with this procedure, the debtor must: (1) Send a written request for a re-view of the information to the address provided in the notice. (2) State in the request the amount disputed and the reasons why the debt-or believes that the debt is no

3、t past- due or legally enforceable. (3) Include in the request any docu-ments which the debtor wishes to be considered or state that additional in-formation will be submitted within the remainder of the 60 day period. (b) Submission of information. The debtor may submit information show-ing that all

4、 or part of the debt is not past-due or not legally enforceable along with the notification required by paragraph (a) of this section. Failure to submit the information within the re-mainder of the 60 day period will be in-terpreted as there is no additional in-formation for consideration. (c) Revie

5、w of the information. The De-partment considers all available infor-mation related to the issue of whether the debt is past-due and the issue of whether the debt is legally enforceable. After a decision has been reached, the Department notifies the debtor wheth-er the Department has sustained amende

6、d, or cancelled its determina-tion that the debt is past-due and le-gally enforceable. 89.45 Department determination. (a) Following review of the informa-tion, the Department notifies the debt-or with a written decision that in-cludes the supporting rationale. (b) If the Department either sustains

7、or amends its determination, it shall notify the debtor that the debt is being referred to the IRS for offset against the debtors Federal income tax refund. If the Department determines that there is no legally enforceable debt or that full payment has been made, the case will be closed. 89.47 Stay

8、of offset. If the debtor timely notifies the De-partment that he or she is complying with the procedures in 89.43(a) of this subpart and timely submits additional information in accordance with 89.43(b) of this subpart, the debt will not be referred to the IRS while the matter is under review by the

9、 Depart-ment. Referral will not be made until the issuance of a written decision, in accordance with 89.45 of this subpart, which sustains or amends the Depart-ments original determination.

29、ecretary shall, on the basis of the application and such other data as may be available, com-pute the amount to which such carrier is entitled. (e) Subject to the provisions of 91.13(b), upon approving the computa-tion made by the Assistant Secretary, the Secretary shall issue such certifi-cate as w

30、ill entitle each such carrier to payment from the account maintained by the Secretary of the Treasury for this purpose. 91.11 Standards. (a) To minimize the burden of imple-menting this part on the United States, on U.S. flag air carriers and on foreign air carriers, estimates and peri-odic adjustme

31、nts will be used to deter-mine the amount of discrimination and compensatory charges therefor. (b) For the purpose of determining the amount of excessive or otherwise discriminatory charges imposed upon U.S. flag air carriers by an entity: (1) A service or use of airport or air-way property includes

32、, but is not lim-ited to, fueling, food service, ticketing, baggage handling, runways, ramps, parking areas, navigational aids, com-munications facilities or any other service necessary and incidental to the conduct of a flight. (2) An excessive or otherwise dis-criminatory charge includes, but is n

33、ot limited to, a charge substantially above the cost of providing a service or any charge for a service that is sub-stantially inferior to that which the U.S. flag air carrier could have pro-vided for itself, at the same cost, by contract or otherwise (see also 91.3). (c) In determining the amount o

34、f compensatory charge: (1) The total amount of excessive or otherwise discriminatory charges lev-ied against U.S. flag air carriers will be estimated in dollars. (2) The total volume of operations to the United States by air carriers of the nation concerned will be estimated for the succeeding six-m

35、onth period. (3) The total amount of excessive or otherwise discriminatory charges in paragraph (c)(1) of this section will be divided by the total volume of oper-ations in paragraph (c)(2) of this sec-tion, and (4) The quotient thus computed (which may be adjusted to reflect the type of aircraft) w

36、ill constitute the compensatory charge to be collected as a condition to acceptance of the gen-eral declaration at the time of landing or takeoff of such air carriers of the nation concerned. 91.13 Refunds. (a) Where, in his discretion, the Sec-retary finds that good cause has been shown, the Secret

37、ary may authorize a refund of collected compensatory charges. For purposes of this section, good cause includes, but is not limited to, an error of fact, a miscalculation, or a determination that an original conclusion of entitlement was insuffi-cient, invalid, erroneous or invalidated by subsequent

38、 events. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of 91.9(e) the Secretary may suspend for a reasonable time the issuance of a cer-tificate of entitlement upon a showing by a payor of compensatory charges that there is a substantial likelihood that the payor will make a showing of good cause under 91.13(a

39、). (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, the issuance of a certificate of entitle-ment under 91.9(e) or the distribution to U.S. flag air carriers of funds col-lected under this part shall be with prejudice to any claim for refund under this section.
