Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 185 / Wednesday, September 24, 2014 / Notices
Academy Express also states that MCIZ
has a bus stop in New York City and
licenses for two park-and-ride facilities
in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, NY.
According to Academy Express, Go
Bus and MCIZ have decided to cease
acting as motor carriers. Under the
proposed transaction, Academy Express
seeks to acquire the interstate and
intrastate operating authorities of Go
Bus, its customer lists, telephone
numbers, Web sites, and trade name, as
well as MCIZ’s contract with the New
York City Board of Education, its bus
stop in New York City and its licenses
for the two park-and-ride facilities in
Nassau and Suffolk Counties, NY.3
Academy Express states that, if the
transaction is approved, it would
provide most, if not all, of the
operations currently provided by Go
Bus and MCIZ.
Under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b), the Board
must approve and authorize a
transaction that it finds consistent with
the public interest, taking into
consideration at least: (1) The effect of
the proposed transaction on the
adequacy of transportation to the public;
(2) the total fixed charges that result;
and (3) the interest of affected carrier
employees. Academy Express has
submitted information, as required by
49 CFR 1182.2, including the
information to demonstrate that the
proposed transaction is consistent with
the public interest under 49 U.S.C.
14303(b), and a statement pursuant to
49 U.S.C. 14303(g) that the 12-month
aggregate gross operating revenues of
Academy Express exceeded $2 million.
With respect to the effect of the
transaction on the adequacy of
transportation to the public, Academy
Express states that the proposed
acquisition would benefit the patrons of
Go Bus and MCIZ. According to
Academy Express, passengers would be
able to travel in newer, more
comfortable, and better maintained
buses, and would have more frequent
service at a lower cost than was offered
by Go Bus or MCIZ. Academy Express
states that the proposed transaction
would have little or no effect on
competitive conditions in the special
and charter bus markets. Academy
Express states that it would compete
with Greyhound Lines, Inc., Peter Pan
Bus Lines, Inc., Martz Trailways, Magic
Carpet Tours, and Majestic Tours, Inc.,
in providing service between New York
City and Cambridge and Newton.
Academy Express also states that it
3 According to the application, Academy Express
would not acquire Go Bus and MCIZ’s buses.
Instead, those buses would be conveyed to a
company called ABC Companies, a noncarrier.

would compete with various services of
the Metropolitan Transportation
Authority in rendering service between
Glen Cove and New York City, as well
as in competing for the contract with the
New York City Board of Education.
Academy Express states that the
proposed transaction would have no
effect on total fixed charges. Further,
Academy Express states that the
transaction would have little or no effect
upon Go Bus and MCIZ’s employees, as
the substantial majority of these
employees would continue to be
employed by the affiliate or other
related entities of Go Bus, or may be
offered employment with Academy
Express.
On the basis of the application, the
Board finds that the proposed
acquisition of control is consistent with
the public interest and should be
tentatively approved and authorized. If
any opposing comments are timely
filed, this finding will be deemed
vacated, and, unless a final decision can
be made on the record as developed, a
procedural schedule will be adopted to
reconsider the application. See 49 CFR
1182.6(c). If no opposing comments are
filed by the expiration of the comment
period, this notice will take effect
automatically and will be the final
Board action.
Academy Express’s application and
supplemental filing, as well as Board
decisions and notices, are available on
our Web site at www.stb.dot.gov.
This decision will not significantly
affect either the quality of the human
environment or the conservation of
energy resources.
It is ordered:
1. The proposed transaction is
approved and authorized, subject to the
filing of opposing comments.
2. If opposing comments are timely
filed, the findings made in this notice
will be deemed as having been vacated.
3. This notice will be effective
November 11, 2014, unless opposing
comments are timely filed.
4. A copy of this decision will be
served on: (1) The U.S. Department of
Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590; (2)

and (3) the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Office of the General
Counsel, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE.,
Washington, DC 20590.
Decided: September 18, 2014.

Abstract: The data collected on VA
Form 21–0571 is used to determine
whether children’s income can be
excluded from consideration in

income may be excluded if it is
unavailable or if including that income
would cause a hardship.
