The Secretary must act not later than 90 days after receiving the complaint. However, the Secretary may extend this 90-day period for not more than an additional 90 days if, on the last day of the initial 90-day period, the Secretary finds that— (A) negotiations with the government have progressed to a point that a satisfactory resolution of the complaint appears imminent; (B) an air carrier has not been subjected to economic injury by the government or entity as a result of filing the complaint; and (C) the public interest requires additional time before the Secretary acts on the complaint.
