Carriers proposing to make a change which would not substantially affect their operations, management, or own-ership, such as certificated carriers ap-plying for additional authority which
3、would not substantially change their operations, will be presumed to be fit and need not file any information re-lating to their fitness at time of the change. However, if the Department concludes, from its own analysis or based on information submitted by third parties, that such change may bring t
4、he carriers fitness into ques-tion, the Department may require the applicant carrier to file additional in-formation. 204.7 Revocation for dormancy. (a) An air carrier that has not com-menced any type of air transportation operations for which it was found fit, willing, and able within one year of t
5、he date of that finding, or an air carrier that, for any period of one year after the date of such a finding, has not pro-vided any type of air transportation for which that kind of finding is required, is deemed no longer to continue to be fit to provide the air transportation for which it was foun
6、d fit and, accordingly, its authority to provide such air trans-portation shall be revoked. (b) An air carrier found fit which commences operations within one year after being found fit but then ceases operations, shall not resume operations without first filing all of the data re-quired by 204.3 at
7、 least 45 days before it intends to provide any such air transportation.

9、certain which data are already available to the Department and need not be refiled. A carrier to which this paragraph applies shall not provide any air transportation for which it is required to be found fit, willing, and able until the Department decides that the carrier continues to be fit, willin
10、g, and able to perform such air transportation. During the pend-ency of the Departments consideration of a data submission under this para-graph, the expiration period set out in paragraph (a) of this section shall be stayed. If the decision or finding by the Department on the issue of the car-riers
11、 fitness is favorable, the date or that decision or finding shall be the date considered in applying paragraph (a) of this section. (c) For purposes of this section, the date of a Department decision or find-ing shall be the service date of the De-partments order containing such deci-sion or finding
12、, or, in cases where the Departments decision or finding is made by letter, the date of such letter. (d) For purposes of this section, ref-erences to operations and to the pro-viding of air transportation shall refer only to the actual performance of flight operations under an operating certificate
