SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Applicant 

is a Washington corporation and 

controls five other Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Administration registered motor

Inc., d/b/a Gray Line of Seattle (MC– 

107638); (2) Westours Motor Coaches, 

Inc. (MC–118832); (3) Westmark Hotels

Horizon Coach Lines, Ltd. (MC–

Inc. (DAT) (MC–636105). RHT holds a 

minority non-controlling interest in 

DAT. Applicant states that the 

acquisition of control of RHT is part of 

an internal corporate restructuring 

including Applicant and several 

noncarrier subsidiaries and affiliates. 

Applicant states that it is likely that 

DAT will be merged into RHT upon 

completion of the proposed transaction, 

with RHT being the surviving entity. 

Applicant states that the annual 

aggregate gross revenues of the 5 carriers 

that it controls exceed $2 million. 

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. 

Applicant 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). Applicant states that the 

proposed transaction will improve 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 the interests of employees of RHT, 

other than possibly a small number of 

administrative employees, will not be 

adversely impacted. Applicants also 

state that the charter/tour bus segment 

is competitive, that the transaction will 

not adversely impact competition, and 

that this agency’s prior finding 

regarding low entry barriers in this 

segment continues to be accurate. 

Additional information, including a 

copy of the application, may be 

obtained from Applicant’s 

representative. A copy of the 

application is also available on the 

Board’s Web site at http:// 

www.stb.dot.gov. 

On the basis of the application, we 

find that the proposed acquisition 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.
