Abstract: Chapter 301 of title 49 of the
United States Code, the Secretary of
Transportation is authorized to require
manufacturers of motor vehicles and
motor vehicle equipment to conduct
owner notification and remedy, i.e., a

vehicles and motor vehicle equipment.
To make this determination, the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) solicits
information from vehicle owners which
is used to identify and evaluate possible
safety-related defects and provide the
necessary evidence of the existence of
such a defect. Under the Authority of
chapter 301 of Title 49 of the United
States Code, the Secretary of
Transportation is authorized to require
manufacturers of motor vehicle and
motor vehicle equipment which do not
comply with the applicable Federal
motor vehicle safety standards or
contains a defect that relates to motor
vehicle safety to notify each owner that
their vehicle contains a safety defect or
noncompliance. Also, the manufacturer
of motor vehicle replacement equipment
presented for remedy pursuant to such
notification shall cause such defect or
noncompliance to be remedied without
charge. In the case of a motor vehicle
presented for remedy pursuant to such
notification, the manufacturer shall
cause the vehicle remedied by
whichever of the following means he
elects: (1) By repairing such vehicle; (2)
by replacing such motor vehicle without
charge; or (3) by refunding the purchase
price less depreciation. To ensure these
objectives are being met, NHTSA audits
recalls conducted by manufacturer.
These audits are performed on a
randomly selected number of vehicle
owners for verification and validation
purposes.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households.

Hours: 11,814.

[STB Docket No. MCF 21061]
Frank Sherman, FSCS Corporation,
TMS West Coast, Inc., Evergreen
Trails, Inc., and Horizon Coach Lines
NC Inc.—Intra-Corporate Family
Transaction Exemption
Frank Sherman, FSCS Corporation
(FSCS), Evergreen Trails, Inc.
(Evergreen), TMS West Coast, Inc.
(TMS), and Horizon Coach Lines NC
Inc. (Horizon NC) (collectively,
Applicants), have filed a verified notice
of exemption under the Board’s class
exemption procedures at 49 CFR
1182.9.1 Frank Sherman is an individual
who controls motor passenger carrier
Evergreen and is the controlling
shareholder of FSCS. Evergreen, which
conducts its motor passenger carrier
operations using d/b/a/ Horizon Coach
Lines, is directly owned by the
noncarrier holding company TMS,
which in turn is owned by the
noncarrier holding company FSCS.
Horizon NC is directly owned by FSCS.
Currently, Horizon NC is not operating
as a motor carrier and does not hold any
motor carrier assets. Both Horizon NC
and Evergreen are ultimately controlled
by Mr. Sherman.
Applicants state that the purpose of
this reorganization is to enhance the
efficiency of the North Carolina
operations and avoid certain costs that
would otherwise be incurred if
Evergreen continued to conduct the
operations. This notice will permit a
transaction to go forward that will allow
Horizon NC, an affiliate of Evergreen, to
acquire and operate Evergreen’s North
Carolina assets, including its intrastate
operating authority, motor carrier
passenger services, and certain key
management personnel. This transaction
will allow Evergreen to limit its
reporting obligations in North Carolina
1 The Board has exempted intra-corporate family
transactions of motor carriers of passengers that do
not result in significant operational changes,
adverse changes in service levels, or a change in the
competitive balance with carriers outside the
corporate family in Class Exemption for Motor
Passenger Intra-Corporate Family Transactions, FD
33685 (STB served Feb. 18, 2000).

to drivers and operations statewide,
rather than nationwide. Applicants state
that there would be no change in
services currently offered or the
management and assets used to provide
these services. Applicants point out that
the existing services being performed by
Evergreen and its assets would simply
be controlled by a different corporate
entity within Evergreen’s corporate
family.
This is a transaction within a
corporate family of the type specifically
exempted from prior review and
approval under 49 CFR 1182.9.
Applicants state that the transaction has
not and will not result in any change in
service levels, significant operational
changes, or any change in the
competitive balance with carriers
outside the corporate family. Applicants
also state that (1) Horizon NC will
acquire control of Evergreen’s North
Carolina assets through an internal
arrangement that will be entered into
between Horizon NC and Evergreen, and
(2) the only effect on employees is that
employees currently employed by
Evergreen in North Carolina will be
employed Horizon NC.
Applicants state that the transaction
will not be consummated until at least
seven days after the filing date of the
verified notice of exemption. The notice
was filed on December 31, 2014;
therefore, consummation could occur on
or after January 7, 2015.
If the verified notice contains false or
misleading information, the Board shall
summarily revoke the exemption and
require divestiture. Petitions to revoke
the exemption under 49 U.S.C. 13541(d)
may be filed at any time. See 49 CFR
1182.9(c).
An original and ten copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. MCF
21061, must be filed with the Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In
addition, a copy of each pleading must
be served on David H. Coburn, Steptoe
& Johnson LLP, 1330 Connecticut
Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20036.
