OPINION ON PETITION TO MODIFY DECISION (D.) 00-06-073
Petitioner Mickey's Space Ship Shuttle (Mickey's) has petitioned for modification of D.00-06-073, claiming that the decision does not grant the authority requested in its application. Specifically, Mickey's asks that we add the following route description to Appendix PSC-5244, Section III, to clarify that it has authority to provide scheduled service from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to John Wayne International Airport (SNA) in Orange County:
"Route C. LAX - Orange County
"Commencing from LAX, as described in Section II B1, then over the most convenient streets, expressways, and highways to SNA, as described in Section II B2."
Mickey's asserts that this language is necessary to clarify the decision, because the present Section III only grants authority to operate between Orange County points other than SNA and LAX, and between Orange County points and SNA.
We disagree that modification of the order is necessary to address Mickey's concern. Section II A2, defining the points which Mickey's may serve under scheduled service, Route A, LAX - Orange County, already encompasses SNA. No further authority from this Commission is required to permit Mickey's to provide service at SNA on this route. Of course, the approval of SNA's governing authority may be necessary when Mickey's seeks to establish such service, if it intends to enter upon SNA property.
We will deny the petition to modify D.00-06-073. To the extent that our opinion and order today explain our rationale for denying the request, we expect it to clarify any ambiguity that may exist in the earlier decision and alleviate Mickey's concern.
