such a carrier.7 Pacific intends to begin
operations before the end of 2026, (id.).
• FlixBus Peru S.A.C., a Peruvian
corporation headquartered in Lima,
Peru, that provides a brokerage network
technology platform for intercity
passenger motor carrier travel in Peru,
and which is 99.9% owned by LATAM
and 0.1% owned by Flix SE, (id. at 9);
• Flixbus Mexico S.A. de C.V., a
Mexican corporation headquartered in
Mexico City, Mexico, that provides a
brokerage network technology platform
for intercity passenger motor carrier
travel in Mexico, and which is 99.998%
owned by LATAM and 0.002% owned
by Flix North America, (id. at 9); and
• LATAM, a Mexican corporation
headquartered in Mexico City, Mexico,
that provides various support services
by contract for the Americas Affiliates,
including accounting and human
resources, and which is 99.998% owned
by Flix SE and 0.002% owned by Flix
North America, (id.).
In the application, Applicants seek
Board approval to continue in control of
Midwest upon it obtaining authority to
operate as a regulated passenger motor
carrier.8 According to Applicants,
Greyhound intends to move routes
currently operated by Greyhound into
the operations of Midwest, with the
service anticipated to include the
Atlanta-Cleveland, Atlanta-Detroit,
Atlanta-Memphis, Baltimore-Pittsburgh,
Chicago-Atlanta, Chicago-Baltimore,
Chicago-Detroit, Chicago-Minneapolis,
Detroit-Montgomery, Detroit-New York
City, Detroit-Pittsburgh, and PittsburghWashington, DC, origin-destination
lines. (Id. at 11.) The application states
that Greyhound, through Midwest, seeks
to regionalize its operational structure
in this region in order to operate more
efficiently and deliver stronger results
for customers. (Id.)
Under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b), the Board
must approve and authorize a
transaction that it finds is 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 resulting from the
proposed transaction, and (3) the
interest of affected carrier employees.
Here, Applicants have submitted the
information required by 49 CFR 1182.2,
including (1) information to
demonstrate that Applicants’
continuance in control of Midwest upon
it becoming a regulated passenger motor

as an interstate motor passenger carrier and thus is
not granted by this decision. See 49 CFR pt. 365.

carrier is consistent with the public
interest under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b), see 49
CFR 1182.2(a)(7); and (2) a jurisdictional
statement under 49 U.S.C. 14303(g) that
the aggregate gross operating revenues
of the involved carriers exceeded $2
million during the 12-month period
immediately preceding the filing of the
application, see 49 CFR 1182.2(a)(5).
Applicants submit evidence that
granting the application would be
consistent with the public interest.
(Appl. 11–13.) According to Applicants,
Applicants and Midwest have identified
service areas that will be operated by
Midwest as a regional affiliate of
Greyhound, instead of as presently
operated by Greyhound. (Id. at 12.)
Accordingly, Applicants anticipate that
services available to the public will not
change, except for the expected
improvements in services to be gained
through the efficiencies of a
regionalized operational structure. (Id.)
Applicants concede that this
transaction may result in additional
fixed costs to the extent that Midwest
borrows funds to finance a portion of
equipment acquisition over time. (Id. at
12.) However, Applicants assert that any
such increase will not have a material
impact on the transaction or Midwest’s
implementation of services. (Id.)
Applicants further state that the
proposed transaction will not adversely
affect Midwest’s employees, as Midwest
is a newly formed entity that has no
current employees. (Id.) Applicants state
that the contemplated action and
resulting assumption of scheduled
intercity passenger service will continue
to require the same jobs for drivers,
mechanics, and other support
personnel. (Id.) Thus, the application
concludes, employee interests, although
future in nature, will be served to the
greatest degree possible. (Id.)
Based on their representations, the
Board finds that Applicants’
continuance in control of Midwest is
consistent with the public interest. The
application will be tentatively approved
and authorized. If any opposing
comments are timely filed, these
findings 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. If
no opposing comments are filed by
expiration of the comment period, this
notice will take effect automatically and
will be the final Board action in this
proceeding.
This action is categorically excluded
from environmental review under 49
CFR 1105.6(c).

approval to renew an information
collection. The Federal Register Notice
with a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments on the following collection of
information was published on April 22,
2026. The Federal Aviation
Administration Extension, Safety, and

the FAA to ‘‘issue or revise regulations
to ensure that an individual may operate
as pilot in command of a covered
aircraft’’ without having to undergo the
medical certification process prescribed
by FAA regulations if the pilot and
aircraft meet certain prescribed
conditions as outlined in FESSA. This
collection enables those eligible airmen
to establish their eligibility with the
FAA.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by July 27, 2026.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public
Comments Invited: You are asked to
comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for FAA’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity

Requirements (BasicMed).
Form Numbers: FAA form 8700–2.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Background: The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following
collection of information was published
on April 22, 2026 (91 FR 21591). The
FAA will use this information to
determine that individual pilots have
met the requirements of section 2307 of
Public Law 114–190. It is important for
the FAA to know this information as the
vast majority of pilots conducting
operations described in section 2307 of
Public Law 114–190 must either hold a
valid medical certificate or be
conducting operations using the
requirements of section 2307 as an
alternative to holding a medical
certificate.
The FAA published a final rule,
Alternative Pilot Physical Examination
and Education Requirements, to
implement the provisions of section
2307, on January 11, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under

part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), this document
provides the public notice that by letter
received May 6, 2026, VMT petitioned
FRA for a waiver of compliance from
certain provisions of the Federal
railroad safety regulations contained at
49 CFR part 230 (Steam Locomotive
Inspection and Maintenance Standards).
FRA assigned the petition Docket
Number FRA–2026–1057.
Specifically, VMT seeks relief from
the requirements of § 230.61(c), Arch
tubes, water bar tubes, circulators and
thermic siphons—method of
examination, for locomotive Norfolk
and Western 611. VMT requests relief
from the requirement to remove a
locomotive’s arch brick when
performing an annual inspection and
contends that the brick usually breaks
during the removal process. In its
petition, VMT states that the arch is
exposed on the bottom side and
sufficiently accessible for an ultrasonic
examination by removing small pieces
of brick from the upper side. In
addition, VMT notes that the arch tubes
were renewed in July 2025.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested party desires
an opportunity for oral comment and a
public hearing, they should notify FRA,
in writing, before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis
for their request.
Communications received by August
24, 2026 will be considered by FRA
before final action is taken. Comments
received after that date will be
considered if practicable.
