Information Relay Service (FIRS) for the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Academy 

is a motor carrier licensed by the 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA) (MC–646780) 

and primarily provides charter bus 

operations in Florida. Academy is 

owned by Academy Bus (Florida) ESB 

Trust, which is controlled by Francis 

Tedesco, sole trustee. The Tedesco 

Family ESB Trust, a separate trust of 

which Francis Tedesco and Mark 

Tedesco are beneficiaries, directly 

controls the following noncarriers: 

Academy Bus, L.L.C. (ABL) 1; Franmar 

Logistics, Inc.; Franmar Equities, Inc.; 

and Log Re, Inc. ABL owns the 

following carriers: Academy Express, 

L.L.C., Academy Lines, L.L.C., and 

Number 22 Hillside, L.L.C. Evergreen, a 

motor carrier licensed by FMCSA (MC– 

107638), provides charter operations in 

North Carolina and other locations. 

Evergreen is owned by TMS West Coast, 

Inc., a noncarrier holding company, 

which is in turn owned by FSCS 

Corporation, another noncarrier holding 

company. Francis W. Sherman is the 

controlling shareholder of FSCS 

Corporation, which also owns 

noncarriers TMS Canada Holdings, Ltd. 

and Horizon Coach Lines NC, Inc. 

Under the proposed transaction, 

Academy seeks to acquire the sublease 

to Evergreen’s Durham, N.C. terminal, 

certain charter contracts, all furniture, 

fixtures, equipment, computers, 

machinery apparatus, appliances, 

signage, supplies, parts inventory, 

forklifts, shop tools, office equipment, 

desks, telephones, telex and telephone 

facsimile numbers and other directory 

listings, goodwill and other intangible 

assets, advertising, marketing and 

promotional materials, studies, reports, 

and all other printed or written 

materials used in and relating solely and 

exclusively to Evergreen’s business 

operations from its Durham terminal.2

Academy states that this acquisition 

would allow it to expand its charter 

operations to serve the southeastern area 

of the United States. Academy further 

states that if the transaction is approved, 

it would continue to serve potential 

charter parties in the vicinity of the 

Durham terminal. 

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

must approve and authorize a 

transaction that it finds 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 that result; 

and (3) the interest of affected carrier 

employees. Academy has 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), and a 

statement that Academy and its motor 

carrier affiliated companies and Francis 

W. Sherman and his motor carrier 

affiliated companies have aggregate 

gross annual operating revenues in 

excess of $2 million.3

Applicant asserts that the proposed 

transaction is in the public interest 

because the acquisition would allow 

continued operations from the Durham 

terminal by an ‘‘experienced and 

successful motorbus operator.’’ 4

Academy states that the proposed 

transaction would not diminish 

competition, as Evergreen would 

continue to operate from other locations 

in North Carolina. Academy further 

states that the proposed transaction 

would not result in an increase to total 

fixed charges. Finally, Academy states 

that the transaction would have no 

adverse effect upon the Durham 

terminal’s employees, as these 

employees would have the opportunity 

to gain employment with Academy. 

On the basis of the application, the 

Board finds that the proposed 

transaction is consistent with the public 

interest and should 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(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. 

The party’s application and Board 

decisions and notices are available on 

our Web site at 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 transaction is 

approved and authorized, subject to the 

filing of opposing comments. 

2. If opposing comments are timely 

filed, the findings made in this notice 

will be deemed as having been vacated. 

3. This notice will be effective April 

21, 2015, unless opposing comments are 

timely filed.

[Docket No. NHTSA–2013–0019] 

Greenkraft Inc.; Grant of Application 

for a Temporary Exemption From 

FMVSS No. 108 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of grant of petition for a 

temporary exemption from paragraph 

S10 of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety 

Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, Lamps, 

Reflective Devices, and Associated 

Equipment. 

SUMMARY: This notice grants the petition 

of Greenkraft, Inc. (Greenkraft) for a 

temporary exemption from the 

headlamp requirements of FMVSS No. 

108 for the company’s 1061 and 1083 

model trucks for headlamps complying 

with European regulatory requirements. 

The exemption is limited to 120 

vehicles. The agency has considered 

Greenkraft’s petition for exemption and 

has determined that the exemption 

would facilitate the development or 

field evaluation of a low-emission motor 

vehicle and would not unreasonably 

reduce the safety level of that vehicle if
