[STB No. MC–F–20906]

Capital Motor Lines, et al.—Pooling—

Greyhound Lines, Inc.

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board;

DOT.

ACTION: Notice of approval in part of

pooling application and supplemental

notice of proposed pooling application.

SUMMARY: Applicants, Capital Motor

Lines, d/b/a Capital Trailways, of

Montgomery, AL, and Colonial

Trailways, of Mobile, AL, and

Greyhound Lines, Inc., of Dallas, TX,

jointly seek approval under 49 U.S.C.

14302 of an operations and revenue

pooling agreement to govern their motor

passenger and express transportation

services between described points in

Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,

and Mississippi. Notice of the

application was published in the

Federal Register on April 23, 1997 (62

FR 19853). We have approved the

application in part and have tentatively

approved the remainder of the

application in a decision served

concurrently with this notice. The

original notice did not completely

describe the scope of the pooling

agreement, necessitating this

republication to describe more fully the

transportation services governed by

applicants’ agreement and to provide

additional opportunity for comment as

to that part of the application for which

approval has not been finally given.

DATES: Comments are due by October

27, 1997 and, if comments are filed,

applicants’ rebuttal is due by November

14, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Send an original and 10

copies of comments referring to STB No.

MC–F–20906 to: Surface Transportation

Board, Office of the Secretary, Case

Control Unit, 1925 K Street, N.W.,

Washington, DC 20423–0001. Also, send

one copy of comments to applicants’

representatives: Dennis N. Barnes, 1800

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Beryl Gordon, (202) 565–1600. [TDD for

the hearing impaired: (202) 565–1695.]

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The prior

notice of the application stated that

applicants’ operations and revenue

pooling agreement governs their motor

passenger and express transportation

services between Mobile and

Birmingham, AL, and between Mobile

and New Orleans, LA. No comments

were received. However, in addition to

the described routes, the pooling

agreement also governs routes between

Mobile and Montgomery, AL, and

between Mobile and Jackson, MS, and

between Montgomery and Birmingham,

between Montgomery and Tallahassee,

FL, between Montgomery and Meridian,

MS, and between Montgomery and

Columbus, GA. We have reviewed the

application and have granted final

approval for the proposed pooling of

services that were specifically covered

by our prior notice, and have tentatively

approved the remainder of the

application in a decision served

September 25, 1997. Because the scope

of the application is broader than the

notice originally published, our

approval for the broader portion is

contingent upon publication of this

notice and the opportunity for public

comment. If no comments are received

by the due date, our tentative approval

of that part of the application will

become final.

Copies of the application may be

obtained free of charge by contacting

applicants’ representatives. Copies of

our decision tentatively approving the

application may be purchased from DC

News & Data, Inc., 1925 K Street, N.W.,

Suite 210, Washington, DC 20006.

Telephone: (202) 289–4357. (Assistance

for the hearing impaired is available

through TDD services (202) 565–1695.)

A copy of this notice will be served on

the Department of Justice, Antitrust

Division, 10th Street & Pennsylvania

Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20530.

Decided: September 17, 1997.

By the Board, Chairman Morgan and Vice

Chairman Owen.

Vernon A. Williams,

Secretary.

Rio Valley Railroad, Inc. and Rio Valley

Switching Company—Lease and

Operation Exemption—Southern

Pacific Transportation Company

Rio Valley Railroad, Inc. (RVRI) and

Rio Valley Switching Company (RVSC),

Class III rail carriers, have filed a joint

verified notice of exemption under 49

CFR 1150.41 for RVRI to lease a total of

12.79 miles of rail lines owned by

Southern Pacific Transportation

Company, and for RVSC to operate these

lines pursuant to an operating

agreement with RVRI. The transaction

was expected to be consummated on or

shortly after September 11, 1997, the

effective date of the exemption.

The lines involved in the lease and

operation are described as follows: (1) A

portion of the Brownsville branch at or

near Edinburg, TX, between milepost

142.65 at the west leg of the wye track

and milepost 145.0, a short distance east

of the plant of Inland Paperbox

Packaging, a distance of 2.35 miles; and,

(2) a portion of the McAllen branch

between milepost 141.52 at the end of

the Edinburg line at or near Edinburg,

TX, and milepost 151.96 at the point of

connection of that line with the line of

Union Pacific Railroad Company at or

near McAllen, TX, a distance of 10.44

miles.1

If the notice contains false or

misleading information, the exemption

is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the

exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)

may be filed at any time. The filing of

a petition to revoke will not

automatically stay the transaction.

An original and 10 copies of all

pleadings, referring to STB Finance

Docket No. 33459, must be filed with

the Surface Transportation Board, Office

of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925
