AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board, DOT. Notice of filing of petition for exemption. ACTION: National Express Corporation (NEC), a noncarrier, seeks an exemption, under 49 U.S.C. 13541, from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 14303(a)(5) and 49 CFR 1182 to acquire control of Vogel Bus Company, Inc. (Vogel), a motor passenger carrier. Expedited action has been requested.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julia Farr, (202) 245–0359 (Federal Information Relay (FIRS) for the hearing impaired: 1–800–877–8339). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a petition filed with the Board on October 25, 2010, NEC, a noncarrier, requests an exemption under 49 U.S.C. 13541 from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 14303(a)(5) and 49 CFR 1182 for the acquisition of Vogel, a motor passenger carrier (MC–274520). NEC indirectly owns and controls one interstate motor passenger carrier, Durham School Services, L.P. (DSSLP) (MC–163066), which primarily provides transportation of school children to and from school in 30 states under contract with regional and local school jurisdictions. Vogel also primarily provides transportation of school children, in New Jersey. School bus transportation is not subject to Board regulation. However, both DSSLP and Vogel provide limited interstate charter bus transportation to the public, thus bringing the proposed acquisition within the Board’s jurisdiction. NEC proposes to acquire control of Vogel through its acquisition of all of the shares of Vogel pursuant to a Share Purchase and Sale Agreement. If granted, an exemption would preempt review of the proposed transaction and approval by state and local authorities, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 14303(f). In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 13541, the Board will exempt a motor carrier transaction if: (1) Regulation is not necessary to carry out the transportation policy of 49 U.S.C. 13101; (2) regulation either is not needed to protect shippers from the abuse of market power or the transaction or service is of limited scope; and (3) an exemption is in the public interest. According to NEC, the transaction will advance Federal transportation policy by, among other things, enabling it to provide more efficient service. NEC states that its transaction is limited in scope because DSSLP’s and Vogel’s Board-regulated operations (interstate charter services) are small in size, and because there is WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES DATES: VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:30 Nov 23, 2010 Jkt 223001 little overlap among the areas served by DSSLP and Vogel. Finally, NEC states that the transaction is in the public interest because, among other things, NEC anticipates that its existing expertise and resources will improve Vogel’s limited charter passenger services, which inures to the benefit of the public. A copy of this notice will be served on: (1) The 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, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20530; and (3) the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of the General Counsel, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a petition filed with the Board on 
October 25, 2010, NEC, a noncarrier, requests an exemption under 49 
U.S.C. 13541 from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 
14303(a)(5) and 49 CFR 1182 for the acquisition of Vogel, a motor 
passenger carrier (MC-274520). NEC indirectly owns and controls one 
interstate motor passenger carrier, Durham School Services, L.P. 
(DSSLP) (MC-163066), which primarily provides transportation of school 
children to and from school in 30 states under contract with regional 
and local school jurisdictions. Vogel also primarily provides 
transportation of school children, in New Jersey. School bus 
transportation is not subject to Board regulation. However, both DSSLP 
and Vogel provide limited interstate charter bus transportation to the 
public, thus bringing the proposed acquisition within the Board's 
jurisdiction. NEC proposes to acquire control of Vogel through its 
acquisition of all of the shares of Vogel pursuant to a Share Purchase 
and Sale Agreement. If granted, an exemption would preempt review of 
the proposed transaction and approval by state and local authorities, 
pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 14303(f).
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 13541, the Board will exempt a motor 
carrier transaction if: (1) Regulation is not necessary to carry out 
the transportation policy of 49 U.S.C. 13101; (2) regulation either is 
not needed to protect shippers from the abuse of market power or the 
transaction or service is of limited scope; and (3) an exemption is in 
the public interest. According to NEC, the transaction will advance 
Federal transportation policy by, among other things, enabling it to 
provide more efficient service. NEC states that its transaction is 
limited in scope because DSSLP's and Vogel's Board-regulated operations 
(interstate charter services) are small in size, and because there is 
little overlap among the areas served by DSSLP and Vogel. Finally, NEC 
states that the transaction is in the public interest because, among 
other things, NEC anticipates that its existing expertise and resources 
will improve Vogel's limited charter passenger services, which inures 
to the benefit of the public.

Justice, Antitrust Division, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington,
