SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Fenway 

Partners is a Delaware limited 

partnership organized in 2005 by 

Fenway Partners, Inc. (Fenway), a 

private equity firm that invests in 

numerous different businesses, 

including other transportation-related 

entities, through various limited 

partnerships and other investment 

entities. Fenway has $1.6 billion under 

management. Fenway Partners owns all 

of the outstanding stock of Coach Am 

Holdings Corp. (Coach Am Holdings), a 

Delaware corporation organized to 

consummate this transaction. Coach Am 

Holdings in turn owns all of the stock 

of Coach Am Acquisition Corp. (Coach 

Am Acquisition), another Delaware 

corporation set up for purposes of this 

transaction. Coach Am Acquisition will 

be merged into Coach America, with 

Coach America left as the surviving 

company. Following the merger, Coach 

America will be wholly owned by 

Coach Am Holdings, and, indirectly, by 

Coach Am Holdings’ parent, Fenway 

Partners. No operating authorities will 

be transferred as a result of the 

transaction. 

Coach America, a Delaware 

corporation, controls the previously 

named federally regulated motor 

carriers through its subsidiaries Coach 

America Group, Inc., and KBUS 

Holdings, LLC. The motor carriers 

controlled by Coach America had gross 

operating revenues for the 12-month 

period ending October 31, 2006, greater 

than the $2 million threshold required 

for Board jurisdiction (gross revenues of 

approximately $330 million in 2005). 

Under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b), the Board 

must approve and authorize a 

transaction found to be consistent with 

the public interest, taking into 

consideration at least: (1) The effect of 

the transaction on the adequacy of 

transportation to the public; (2) the total 

fixed charges that result; and (3) the 

interest of affected carrier employees. 

Applicants have 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). They 

state that the proposed transaction will 

have no impact on the adequacy of 

transportation services available to the 

public, that the proposed transaction 

will not have an adverse effect on total 

fixed charges, and that there will be no 

material adverse impact on the 

employees of the Coach Americacontrolled carriers. Additional 

information, including a copy of the 

application, may be obtained from the 

applicants’ representative. 

On the basis of the application, we 

find that the proposed acquisition of 

control is consistent with the public 

interest and should be 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. 

Board decisions and notices are 

available on our Web site at http:// 

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 finance transaction is 

approved and authorized, subject to the 

filing of opposing comments. 

2. If timely opposing comments are 

filed, the findings made in this notice 

will be deemed as having been vacated. 

3. This notice will be effective 

February 12, 2007, unless timely 

opposing comments are filed. 

4. A copy of this notice will be served 

on: (1) the U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Administration, 400 7th Street, 

SW., Room 8214, Washington, DC 

20590; (2) the U.S. Department of

Decided: December 22, 2006.

support for or goods or services in 

support of, the narcotics trafficking 

activities of persons designated in or

determined by the Secretary of the 

Treasury, in consultation with the 

Attorney General and the Secretary of 

State, to be owned or controlled by, or
