Title: Federal-Aid Highway

Construction Equal Employment

Opportunity.

Abstract: Under the provisions of

Title 23 U.S.C. Part 140(a), the Federal

Highway Administration (FHWA) is

required to ensure equal opportunity in

contractors’ employment practices on

federal-aid highway projects. In order to

implement this provision of the law,

FHWA regulation, 23 CFR 230, Subpart

A, requires that contractors submit to

State Departments of Transportation

(State DOTs) an annual report providing

employment workforce data, which

includes the number of minorities,

women, and non-minority group

employees in each construction craft.

The information is reported on Form

PR–1391, Federal-Aid Highway

Construction Contractors Annual EEO

Report. The regulation also requires

State DOTs to submit an annual report

to FHWA summarizing PR–1391 data.

This summary is provided on Form PR–

1392, Federal-aid Highway

Construction, Summary of Employment

Data.

Affected Public: Approximately 4,500

Federal-aid contractors and 52 State

Departments of Transportation.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 3,916. FHWA estimates that

approximately 4,500 federal-aid

contractors are required to complete and

submit Form PR–1391 for

approximately 7,000 projects and that

each report takes approximately 30

minutes. In addition, FHWA estimates

that it takes each State DOT

approximately 8 hours to complete and

submit Form PR–1392.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Stagecoach is a public limited

corporation organized under the laws of

Scotland. With operations in several

countries, Stagecoach is one of the

world’s largest providers of passenger

transportation services. Stagecoach had

annual revenues of $3.29 billion for the

fiscal year ending April 30, 2000. Coach

is a Delaware corporation that currently

controls over 80 motor passenger

carriers.

Stagecoach and its subsidiaries

currently control Coach,1 its noncarrier

regional management subsidiaries, and

the motor passenger carriers jointly

controlled by Coach and the

management subsidiaries.2 In previous

Board decisions, Coach management

subsidiaries, including Coach USA

West, Inc., have obtained authority to

control motor passenger carriers jointly

with Coach.3

Applicants state that, on July 25,

2000, Coach purchased all of the stock

of Royal, a motor passenger carrier

holding federally authorized operating

authority. Simultaneously with that

acquisition, Coach placed the stock of

Royal into an independent voting trust.

The control transaction that is the

subject of this application will not

involve any further transfer of the

federal operating authority held by

Royal and will not entail any change in

its operations.4 Royal will also be jointly

controlled by Coach USA West, Inc.

Applicants have submitted

information, as required by 49 CFR

1182.2(a)(7), to demonstrate that the

proposed acquisition of control is

consistent with the public interest

under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b). Applicants

state that the proposed transaction will

not reduce competitive options,

adversely impact fixed charges, or

adversely impact the interests of the

employees of Royal. Applicants assert

that granting the application will allow

Royal to take advantage of economies of

scale and substantial benefits offered by

applicants, including interest cost

savings and reduced operating costs. In

addition, applicants have submitted all

of the other statements and

certifications required by 49 CFR

1182.2. Additional information,

including a copy of the application, may

be obtained from the applicants’

representatives.

Under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b), we must

approve and authorize a transaction we
