CUSA
CSS is a new company wholly owned
and created by CUSA, LLC (CUSA) to
undertake this transaction. CUSA is a
noncarrier which owns 19 federally
regulated and non-federally regulated
motor carriers. CUSA is, in turn, wholly
owned by noncarrier KBUS Holdings,
LLC (KBUS), which acquired the assets
and business operations of the federally
regulated motor carriers formerly owned
by Coach USA, Inc., and then
consolidated those assets/operations
into the motor passenger carriers now
controlled by CUSA.2 These carriers
have more than 3,700 employees and
operate approximately 1,100 motor
coaches and over 700 other revenue
vehicles in 35 states. Annual revenues
for the companies controlled by CUSA
exceeded $220 million for 2004.
According to Applicant, the
experienced senior management team
that CUSA now has in place has
identified the acquisition of Crew as a
strategic way to expand its contract
passenger business in the Pacific
Northwest.
Crew is a motor passenger contract
carrier that has served businesses,
principally in the railroad industry, for
many years in the Pacific Northwest
pursuant to federal operating authority
granted in Docket No. MC–264436.
Applicant has entered into an agreement
with Seller and its shareholders to buy
Seller’s assets, including vehicles and
business operations.
CUSA CSS has submitted
information, as required by 49 CFR
1182.2(a)(7), to demonstrate that the
proposed transaction is consistent with
the public interest under 49 U.S.C.
14303(b). Applicant states that the
proposed acquisition will not adversely
impact fixed charges or adversely
impact the interests of employees of
companies whose assets and businesses
are being acquired. It asserts that
granting the application will allow
CUSA CSS to take advantage of
economies of scale and substantial
benefits offered by CUSA’s centralized
management system, including interest
cost savings and reduced operating
costs. In addition, applicant has
submitted all of the other statements
and certifications required by 49 CFR
1182.2. Additional information,

AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the
Department of the Treasury, Office of
Domestic Finance, Fiscal Service gives
notice of a proposed system of records.
The new system contains records about
individuals who apply for digital
certificates under the Fiscal Service
Certificate Authority which is
administered under the Department of
the Treasury Certificate Policy. A new
Privacy Act System is proposed in order
to accomplish the Department’s
obligations to protect privacy, to ensure
the security of data and to maintain
required records.
DATES: Comments must be received no
later than July 1, 2005. The proposed
system of records will be effective July
11, 2005, unless the Bureau of the
Public Debt receives comments which
would result in a contrary
determination.
Send any comments to the
Disclosure Officer, Administrative
Resource Center, Bureau of the Public
Debt, Department of the Treasury, 200
Third Street, Avery 5th, Parkersburg,
WV 26101–5312. All comments
received will be posted without change
to https://www.publicdebt.treas.gov. The
posting will include any personal
information that you provide in the
submission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Government Paperwork Elimination Act
(GPEA) directs Federal agencies to
implement systems that will enable the
electronic collection and dissemination
of information. In order to carry out the
GPEA, the Department of the Treasury,
Office of Domestic Finance, Fiscal
Service has implemented Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) technology, known
as the Fiscal Service Certificate
Authority (Fiscal Service CA), to
support electronic commerce between

the Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD) or
the Financial Management Service
(FMS), and their customers.
PKI is a set of hardware, software,
policies and procedures used to provide
several important security services for
electronic business activities. PKI
technology protects the integrity and
confidentiality of information submitted
electronically. Customers submit a
request to BPD or FMS for a digital
certificate, which enables the customer
to download and use cryptographic
software to create the encryption keys
necessary for electronic identity
verification and secure transactions.
This digital certificate is required in
order to access secure online systems
that are provided through the Fiscal
Service CA, such as obtaining access to
services offered by BPD and FMS.
For example, the Department of the
Treasury, through FMS, operates
Federal payment systems and disburses
approximately 85 percent of all Federal
payments. All vouchers submitted to
FMS for payment must be signed
(certified) by a Federal program agency’s
duly designated certifying officer.
Previously, payment requests were
submitted through the Treasury
Electronic Certification System (ECS), a
DOS-based system. FMS is replacing
ECS with the Secure Payment System
(SPS). SPS is a mechanism which
employs digital certificates, issued by
the Fiscal Service CA, to initiate
payment and certification requests
providing for the positive identification
of agency certifying officers who
authorize vouchers for payment. SPS
provides enhanced operating
capabilities and much greater
information integrity than ECS.
Additionally, FMS operates the
Automated Standard Application for
Payments (ASAP) program. ASAP is a
mechanism by which FMS makes grant
payments to state agencies and other
authorized grantee organizations. Digital
certificates will be issued to Federal
employees who approve the funding
amounts in grantees’ accounts. The
grantees will request draw downs, and
delivery of Federal funds, from accounts
held in the ASAP.GOV system.
FMS requires that applicants who
seek access to SPS, ASAP, and other
similar systems, request a digital
certificate by submitting an application
form. The forms are available for
download from the FMS Web sites
located at: https://www.fms.treas.gov.
In conjunction with the application
process, the applicant will be required
to submit personal information that is
subject to the Privacy Act of 1974. The
information collected will be used only
to establish and verify the identity and

eligibility of applicants for certificates.
No other use of the information is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Government Paperwork Elimination Act
(GPEA) directs Federal agencies to implement systems that will enable
the electronic collection and dissemination of information. In order to
carry out the GPEA, the Department of the Treasury, Office of Domestic
Finance, Fiscal Service has implemented Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
technology, known as the Fiscal Service Certificate Authority (Fiscal
Service CA), to support electronic commerce between
[[Page 31560]]
the Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD) or the Financial Management Service
(FMS), and their customers.
PKI is a set of hardware, software, policies and procedures used to
provide several important security services for electronic business
activities. PKI technology protects the integrity and confidentiality
of information submitted electronically. Customers submit a request to
BPD or FMS for a digital certificate, which enables the customer to
download and use cryptographic software to create the encryption keys
necessary for electronic identity verification and secure transactions.
This digital certificate is required in order to access secure online
systems that are provided through the Fiscal Service CA, such as
obtaining access to services offered by BPD and FMS.
For example, the Department of the Treasury, through FMS, operates
Federal payment systems and disburses approximately 85 percent of all
Federal payments. All vouchers submitted to FMS for payment must be
signed (certified) by a Federal program agency's duly designated
certifying officer. Previously, payment requests were submitted through
the Treasury Electronic Certification System (ECS), a DOS-based system.
FMS is replacing ECS with the Secure Payment System (SPS). SPS is a

payments to state agencies and other authorized grantee organizations.
Digital certificates will be issued to Federal employees who approve
the funding amounts in grantees' accounts. The grantees will request
draw downs, and delivery of Federal funds, from accounts held in the

FMS requires that applicants who seek access to SPS, ASAP, and
other similar systems, request a digital certificate by submitting an
application form. The forms are available for download from the FMS Web
sites located at: https://www.fms.treas.gov.
In conjunction with the application process, the applicant will be
required to submit personal information that is subject to the Privacy
Act of 1974. The information collected will be used only to establish
and verify the identity and eligibility of applicants for certificates.
No other use of the information is permitted.
The new system of records report, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r)
of the Privacy Act, has been submitted to the Committee on Government
Reform and Oversight of the House of Representatives, the Committee on
