SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 10, 2005, the President 

signed into law the Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity 

Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) 

(Pub. L. 109–59, 119 Stat. 1144). Section 

1914 of SAFETEA–LU mandates the 

establishment of the Motorcyclist 

Advisory Council as follows: ‘‘The 

Secretary, acting through the 

Administrator of the Federal Highway 

Administration, in consultation with the 

Committee on Transportation and 

Infrastructure of the House of 

Representatives and the Committee on 

Environment and Public Works of the 

Senate, shall appoint a Motorcyclist 

Advisory Council to coordinate with 

and advise the Administrator on 

infrastructure issues of concern to 

motorcyclists, including— 

(1) Barrier design; 

(2) Road design, construction, and 

maintenance practices; and 

(3) The architecture and 

implementation of intelligent 

transportation system technologies.’’ 

In addition, section 1914 specifies the 

membership of the council: ‘‘The 

Council shall consist of not more than 

10 members of the motorcycling 

community with professional expertise 

in national motorcyclist safety 

advocacy, including— 

(1) At least— 

(A) One member recommended by a 

national motorcyclist association; 

(B) One member recommended by a 

national motorcycle rider’s foundation; 

(C) One representative of the National 

Association of State Motorcycle Safety 

Administrators; 

(D) Two members of State 

motorcyclists’ organizations; 

(E) One member recommended by a 

national organization that represents the 

builders of highway infrastructure; 

(F) One member recommended by a 

national association that represents the 

traffic safety systems industry; and 

(G) One member of a national safety 

organization; and 

(2) At least one, and not more than 

two, motorcyclists who are traffic 

system design engineers or State 

transportation department officials.’’ 

To carry out this requirement, the 

FHWA published a notice of intent to 

form an advisory committee in the 

Federal Register on December 23, 2005 

(70 FR 76353). This notice, consistent 

with the requirements of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 

announced the establishment of the 

Council and invited comments and 

nominations for membership. The 

FHWA announced the ten members 

selected to the Council in the Federal 

Register on October 5, 2006 (71 FR 

58903). An electronic copy of this 

document and the previous Federal 

Register notices associated with the 

MAC–FHWA can be downloaded 

through the Federal eRulemaking Portal 

at: http://www.regulations.gov and the 

Office of the Federal Register’s home 

page at: http://www.archives.gov/ 

federal_register. 

The FHWA anticipates that the MAC– 

FHWA will meet at least once a year, 

with meetings held in the Washington, 

DC, metropolitan area and the FHWA 

will publish notices in the Federal 

Register to announce the times, dates, 

and locations of these meetings. 

Meetings of the Council are open to the 

public and time will be provided in 

each meeting’s schedule for comments 

by members of the public. Attendance 

will necessarily be limited by the size of 

the meeting room. Members of the 

public may present oral or written

Ms. Fran Bents, Westat, 1650 Research 

Boulevard, Rockville, MD 20850–3195,

the meeting. 

The agenda topics for the meetings 

will include a discussion of the 

following issues: (1) Barrier design; (2) 

road design, construction, and 

maintenance practices; and (3) the 

architecture and implementation of

technologies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FWS 

currently controls one Federal Motor 

Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) 

registered passenger carrier, Cabana 

(MC–646780), a Florida limited liability 

company. Under the proposed 

transaction, FWS is seeking to acquire 

indirect control of Evergreen (MC– 

107638), a Washington corporation, and 

Horizon (MC–144339), a corporation 

formed under the laws of the Province 

of British Columbia, Canada 

(collectively, the acquired carriers),1

both of which are FMCSA registered 

motor passenger carriers, and to 

continue in control of Cabana. 

According to FWS, pursuant to the 

Board’s rules at 49 CFR 1013, all of his 

interests in Cabana currently are being 

held in a voting trust to avoid any 

unlawful control pending disposition of 

this proceeding. FWS states that the 

annual aggregate gross operating 

revenues of Cabana and the acquired 

carriers exceed the $2 million 

jurisdictional threshold of 49 U.S.C. 

14303(g). 

Following approval and 

consummation of the transaction, FWS 

states that he will indirectly own all of 

the outstanding shares of stock in 

Evergreen and Horizon through his 

ownership of all of the outstanding 

shares of stock in TMS West Coast, Inc. 

(TMS), a Washington corporation, and 

TMS Canada Holdings Ltd. (TMS–CA), 

a British Columbia corporation. FWS 

indicates that TMS will acquire all of 

the outstanding shares of Evergreen and 

TMS–CA will acquire all of the 

outstanding shares of Horizon. 

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

must approve and authorize a 

transaction we find 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(a)(7), to 

demonstrate that the proposed 

acquisition of control is consistent with 

the public interest under 49 U.S.C. 

14303(b). Applicant states that the 

proposed transaction will have no 

impact on the adequacy of 

transportation services available to the 

public, that the operations of the 

carriers involved will remain 

unchanged, that there are no fixed 

charges associated with the proposed 

transaction, and that no carrier 

employees will be adversely affected by 

the transaction, except for a small 

number of administrative employees 

who may lose their positions so that the 

acquired carriers can operate with 

increased efficiency. In addition, 

applicant has 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 

applicant’s representatives. 

On the basis of the application, we 

find that the proposed acquisition of 

control 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 website 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 finance transaction is 

approved and authorized, subject to the 

filing of opposing comments. 

2. If timely opposing comments are 

filed, the findings made in this notice 

will be deemed as having been vacated.
