FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julia 

Farr, (202) 245–0359 (Federal 

Information Relay (FIRS) for the hearing 

impaired: 1–800–877–8339). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a 

petition filed with the Board on October 

25, 2010, NEC, a noncarrier, requests an 

exemption under 49 U.S.C. 13541 from 

the prior approval requirements of 49 

U.S.C. 14303(a)(5) and 49 CFR 1182 for 

the acquisition of Vogel, a motor 

passenger carrier (MC–274520). NEC 

indirectly owns and controls one 

interstate motor passenger carrier, 

Durham School Services, L.P. (DSSLP) 

(MC–163066), which primarily provides 

transportation of school children to and 

from school in 30 states under contract 

with regional and local school 

jurisdictions. Vogel also primarily 

provides transportation of school 

children, in New Jersey. School bus 

transportation is not subject to Board 

regulation. However, both DSSLP and 

Vogel provide limited interstate charter 

bus transportation to the public, thus 

bringing the proposed acquisition 

within the Board’s jurisdiction. NEC 

proposes to acquire control of Vogel 

through its acquisition of all of the 

shares of Vogel pursuant to a Share 

Purchase and Sale Agreement. If 

granted, an exemption would preempt 

review of the proposed transaction and 

approval by state and local authorities, 

pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 14303(f). 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 13541, 

the Board will exempt a motor carrier 

transaction if: (1) Regulation is not 

necessary to carry out the transportation 

policy of 49 U.S.C. 13101; (2) regulation 

either is not needed to protect shippers 

from the abuse of market power or the 

transaction or service is of limited 

scope; and (3) an exemption is in the 

public interest. According to NEC, the 

transaction will advance Federal 

transportation policy by, among other 

things, enabling it to provide more 

efficient service. NEC states that its 

transaction is limited in scope because 

DSSLP’s and Vogel’s Board-regulated 

operations (interstate charter services) 

are small in size, and because there is 

little overlap among the areas served by 

DSSLP and Vogel. Finally, NEC states 

that the transaction is in the public 

interest because, among other things, 

NEC anticipates that its existing 

expertise and resources will improve 

Vogel’s limited charter passenger 

services, which inures to the benefit of 

the public.
