# 49 U.S.C. § 41103 - All-cargo air transportation certificates of air carriers
## Text
(a) Applications.— A citizen of the United States may apply to the Secretary of Transportation for a certificate authorizing the citizen to provide all-cargo air transportation. The application must contain information and be in the form the Secretary by regulation requires.
(b) Issuance.— Not later than 180 days after an application for a certificate is filed under this section, the Secretary shall issue the certificate to a citizen of the United States authorizing the citizen, as an air carrier, to provide any part of the all-cargo air transportation applied for unless the Secretary finds that the citizen is not fit, willing, and able to provide the all-cargo air transportation to be authorized by the certificate and to comply with regulations of the Secretary.
(c) Terms.— The Secretary may impose terms the Secretary considers necessary when issuing a certificate under this section. However, the Secretary may not impose terms that restrict the places served or prices charged by the holder of the certificate.
(d) Exemptions and Status.— A citizen issued a certificate under this section—
(1) is exempt in providing the transportation under the certificate from the requirements of—
(A) section 41101(a)(1) of this title and regulations or procedures prescribed under section 41101(a)(1); and
(B) other provisions of this part and regulations or procedures prescribed under those provisions when the Secretary finds under regulations of the Secretary that the exemption is appropriate; and
(2) is an air carrier under this part except to the extent the carrier is exempt under this section from a requirement of this part.
