    Applicant states that New Dawn is a New York limited liability 
company that holds authority from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 
Administration as a motor carrier of passengers (MC-932702). Applicant 
explains that all of the issued and outstanding membership equity 
interest of New Dawn is owned and held by Indra Fouche, an individual 
(the Seller). Applicant further states that the Seller has no direct or 
indirect ownership interest in any other interstate passenger motor 
carrier.
    According to Applicant, New Dawn operates primarily as a provider 
of non-regulated school bus transportation services, transporting 
children to and from school throughout the metropolitan area of New 
York City. Applicant adds that New Dawn maintains a fleet of 140 buses 
and has approximately 154 drivers, and that it also operates as a motor 
passenger carrier providing charter service to the public using its 
fleet of buses.
    Applicant explains that National Express would assume direct 100 
percent control of New Dawn through the membership ownership.
    Under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b), the Board must approve and authorize a 
transaction that it finds consistent with the public interest, taking 
into consideration at least: (1) The effect of the proposed 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 submitted information, as required by 49 CFR 
1182.2, including information to demonstrate that the proposed 
transaction is consistent with the public interest under 49 U.S.C. 
14303(b), and a statement that the aggregate gross operating revenues 
of the National Express Affiliated Carriers and New Dawn exceeded $2 
million for the preceding 12-month period. See 49 U.S.C. 14303(g).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Applicants with gross operating revenues exceeding $2 
million are required to meet the requirements of 49 CFR 1182.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Applicant submits that the proposed transaction would have no 
significant impact on the adequacy of transportation services to the 
public, as New Dawn would continue to provide the services it currently 
provides using the same names for the foreseeable future. Applicant 
states that New Dawn ``will continue to operate, but going forward, it 
will be operating within the National Express corporate family, an 
organization already thoroughly experienced in passenger transportation 
operations.'' (Appl. 12.)
    Applicant states that ``[t]he addition of [New Dawn] to the 
carriers held by National Express is consistent with the practices 
within the passenger motor carrier industry of strong, well-managed 
transportation organizations adapting their corporate structure to 
operate several different passenger carriers within the same market, 
but in different geographic areas.'' (Id.) Applicant asserts that New 
Dawn is experienced in some of the same market segments already served 
by some of the National Express Affiliated Carriers. Applicant expects 
the transaction to result in operating efficiencies and cost savings 
derived from economies of scale, all of which would help to ensure the 
provision of adequate service to the public.
    Applicant further asserts that the acquisition of New Dawn would 
serve to enhance the viability of the overall National Express 
organization and the operations of the National Express Affiliated 
Carriers, which would ensure the continued availability of adequate 
passenger transportation service for the public. (Id.)
    Applicant also claims that neither competition nor the public 
interest would be adversely affected. Applicant states that New Dawn is 
a relatively small carrier in the overall markets in which it competes: 
Unregulated metropolitan school bus operations, and provider of charter 
services. Applicant states that school bus operators typically occupy a 
limited portion of the charter business because (i) the equipment 
offered is not as comfortable as that offered by motor coach operators; 
and (ii) scheduling demands imposed by the primary school bus operation 
impose major constraints on charter services that can be offered. It 
further explains that the charter services offered by New Dawn are 
geographically dispersed from those of the National Express Affiliated 
Carriers, and that there is limited overlap in service areas and/or in 
customer bases among the National Express Affiliated Carriers and New 
Dawn. Thus, Applicant states that the impact of the contemplated 
transaction on the regulated motor carrier industry would be minimal at 
most and that neither competition nor the public interest would be 
adversely affected.
    Applicant asserts that there are no fixed charges associated with 
the contemplated transaction. Applicant also states that it does not 
anticipate a measurable reduction in force or changes in compensation 
levels and/or benefits to employees. Applicant submits, however, that 
staffing redundancies could potentially result in limited downsizing of 
back-office or managerial level personnel.
    The Board finds that the acquisition 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 deemed vacated, and, unless a final decision can be 
made on the record as developed, a procedural schedule will

[[Page 63852]]

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.
    This action is categorically excluded from environmental review 
under 49 CFR 1105.6(c).
    Board decisions and notices are available on our Web site at 
WWW.STB.GOV.
    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 November 1, 2016, unless opposing 
comments are filed by October 31, 2016.
    4. A copy of this notice will be served on: (1) The U.S. Department
