         In re: A-00110033C0102

Dear Respondent:

   On July 26, 2001, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety instituted a complaint against Jet Lines, Inc., respondent, alleging failure to maintain proper evidence of current insurance in violation of the Public Utility Code. The respondent was duly notified that if acceptable evidence of insurance or an answer was not filed, the Bureau would request that the Secretary of the Commission revoke the certificate of public convenience issued to the respondent at A-00110033.

   The complaint and notice were published in the August 25, 2001 issue of the Pennsylvania Bulletin; to date, more than twenty (20) days later, neither evidence of insurance nor an answer to the complaint has been filed. Therefore, the allegation in the complaint is deemed to be admitted.

   The complaint at A-00110033C0102 is hereby sustained and the right(s) and the certificate of public convenience issued to the respondent at A-00110033 be and are hereby revoked; and the respondent has no other operatingauthority. The respondent is hereby notified to cease and desist from providing service previously authorized under the certificate of public convenience.

James J. McNulty,
Secretary
