Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 11, 2024 / Notices
Applicants assert that the transaction
is consistent with the public interest.
Applicants state that STA’s operating
subsidiaries and WPT have contractual
obligations to provide outsourced
transportation services and a
competitive incentive to maintain and
improve existing services because doing
so enhances their chances of success
when new outsourcing opportunities
arise or when existing contracts are recompeted. (Id.) According to
Applicants, contract renewals in the
school transportation sector often
involve highly visible and intense
negotiation processes between multiple
bidders, governmental bodies, unions,
political activists and other interested
parties. (Id. at 6.) Thus, Applicants
claim that STA will have ‘‘strong
incentives to maintain high service
levels in order to fend off competitive
bids’’ from other bus transportation
providers. (Id.) Applicants also note that
STA’s operating subsidiaries will face
competition from school districts and
local government entities that can
provide bus transportation ‘‘in-house.’’
(Id.)
With respect to fixed charges,
Applicants state that there are no
current plans to finance the proposed
acquisition in a manner that would
affect fixed charges payable by STA or
its affiliates. (Id.) Applicants further
note that funding for the transaction
‘‘will be drawn from STA’s current
credit facility, and WPT (like other STA
subsidiaries) will become a co-obligor
under that facility.’’ (Id.)
Regarding the effect of the acquisition
on current employees, Applicants state
that it is highly unlikely that any
employees of WPT would be adversely
affected to any significant degree by the
proposed transaction. (Id. at 7.) They
again emphasize STA and WPT’s
contractual obligations and competitive
incentives to maintain and improve
existing services, and claim that STA
and WPT ‘‘do not have, and rationally
could not have, any intention of
significantly reducing employment
levels involving drivers, dispatchers or
vehicle maintenance personnel’’ as a
result of the acquisition. (Id.) Applicants
further state that there is a
‘‘longstanding shortage of qualified
drivers and maintenance personnel,’’
and assert that STA continues to
actively recruit additional employees.
(Id.)
Based on Applicants’ representations,
the Board finds that the acquisition as
proposed in the application is
consistent with the public interest and
should be tentatively approved and
authorized. If any opposing comments
are timely filed, these findings will be
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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. If no
opposing comments are filed by
expiration of the comment period, this
notice will take effect automatically and
will be the final Board action.
This action is categorically excluded
from environmental review under 49
CFR 1105.6(c).

It is ordered:
1. The proposed transaction is
approved and authorized, subject to the
filing of opposing comments.
2. If opposing comments are timely
filed, the findings made in this notice
will be deemed vacated.
3. This notice will be effective
October 29, 2024, unless opposing
comments are filed by October 28, 2024.
If any comments are filed, Applicants
may file a reply by November 12, 2024.
