FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julia 

Farr (202) 245–0359. [Federal 

Information Relay Service (FIRS) for the 

hearing impaired: 1–800–877–8339.] 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Stagecoach, headquartered in Scotland, 

is one of the world’s largest providers of 

passenger transportation services. It 

operates in several countries, including 

the United States, through a series of 

operating divisions. Coach USA is a 

Delaware corporation that currently 

controls numerous passenger carriers, 

including KILT, one of the subjects of 

this transaction.1 KILT is currently 

listed in Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA) records as 

Pawtuxet Valley Bus Lines, Inc. 

Applicants state that KILT will request 

that FMCSA update its records to reflect 

the name KILT d/b/a Eastern following 

approval of the transaction. 

Under the proposed transaction, 

applicants seek permission to acquire 

certain assets of Eastern, including 

Eastern’s name, buses, customer lists, 

any property leases, sales records, Web 

site, and other assets. Eastern currently 

operates 12 motorcoaches, and provides 

regular route service between several 

points in the Mid-Atlantic States, 

including between New York, NY, and 

Washington, DC; New York and 

Baltimore, MD; and New York and 

Richmond, VA. The proposed 

transaction contemplates the cessation 

of operations by Eastern on these and 

other routes. Utilizing Eastern’s assets in 

combination with KILT’s, applicants 

state that there will be a seamless 

continuation of services previously 

provided by Eastern through KILT. 

Under 49 U.S.C. 14303, the Board 

must approve and authorize a 

transaction it finds 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), and a statement that the 12- 

month aggregate gross operating 

revenues of all motor carrier parties and 

all motor carriers controlling, controlled 

by, or under common control with any 

party exceeded $2 million. Applicants 

state that the proposed transaction will 

have no impact on the adequacy of 

transportation services available to the 

public inasmuch as the operations of 

Eastern will remain unchanged, and that 

fixed charges associated with the 

proposed transaction will not be 

adversely impacted. Eastern currently 

employs approximately 24 persons, and 

applicants state that KILT is evaluating 

its employment needs with a view to 

employing qualified personnel that are 

currently employed by Eastern to 

operate the relevant services. Additional 

information, including a copy of the 

application, may be obtained from the 

applicants’ representatives. 

On the basis of the application, the 

Board finds that the proposed 

acquisition of assets 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 the Board’s 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 acquisition and 

operation of certain assets of Eastern by 

applicants is approved and authorized, 

subject to the filing of opposing 

comments. 

2. If timely opposing comments are 

filed, the findings made in this decision 

will be deemed as having been vacated. 

3. This decision will be effective on 

November 3, 2008, unless timely 

opposing comments are filed. 

4. A copy of this decision will be 

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

Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590; (2) 

the U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust 

Division, 10th Street & Pennsylvania

and (3) the U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Office of the General 

Counsel, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., 

Washington, DC 20590. 

Decided: September 11, 2008. 

By the Board, Chairman Nottingham, Vice 

Chairman Mulvey, and Commissioner
