  On April 23, 1999, the Commission approved a filing by Shuttle Express, Inc. 
(Shuttle), C-975, in Docket TC-990604.  Provisions contained in the filing 
established rates for a fuel surcharge.  An LSN application accompanied the 
filing (which was granted) requesting an effective date of April 24, 1999, and 
requesting a waiver of customer notification requirements.

  At the open public meeting of April 28, 1999, the Commission lowered the 
above fuel surcharge based on updated information that the price of fuel paid 
by Shuttle was less than originally believed.  Those reductions were ordered in 
the First Supplemental Order to this docket and became effective on April 29, 
1999.

  Information now obtained from the company indicates that fuel prices have 
declined even further and the company has requested via letter dated April 29, 
1999, that the fuel surcharge be canceled entirely, effective immediately.

  The Commission finds that pursuant to ongoing declining fuel prices and a 
review of all other facts including the company's own request, it is in the 
public interest to immediately end Shuttle's temporary fuel surcharge of Docket 
TC-990604 contained in Supplement No. 1 to Tariff No. 6.   

O R D E R

  IT IS ORDERED That the Special Fuel Surcharge Supplement No. 1 to Shuttle 
Express, Inc's. Tariff No. 6, be, and hereby is, canceled, effective 
immediately.

  DATED and signed at Olympia, Washington this 12th day of May, 1999.
