DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Surface Transportation Board
[STB No. MC-F-20906]


Capital Motor Lines, et al.--Pooling--Greyhound Lines, Inc.

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board; DOT.

ACTION: Notice of approval in part of pooling application and 
supplemental notice of proposed pooling application.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Applicants, Capital Motor Lines, d/b/a Capital Trailways, of 
Montgomery, AL, and Colonial Trailways, of Mobile, AL, and Greyhound 
Lines, Inc., of Dallas, TX, jointly seek approval under 49 U.S.C. 14302 
of an operations and revenue pooling agreement to govern their motor 
passenger and express transportation services between described points 
in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Notice of the 
application was published in the Federal Register on April 23, 1997 (62 
FR 19853). We have approved the application in part and have 
tentatively approved the remainder of the application in a decision 
served concurrently with this notice. The original notice did not 
completely describe the scope of the pooling agreement, necessitating 
this republication to describe more fully the transportation services 
governed by applicants' agreement and to provide additional opportunity 
for comment as to that part of the application for which approval has 
not been finally given.

DATES: Comments are due by October 27, 1997 and, if comments are filed, 
applicants' rebuttal is due by November 14, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Send an original and 10 copies of comments referring to STB 
No. MC-F-20906 to: Surface Transportation Board, Office of the 
Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, N.W., Washington, DC 
20423-0001. Also, send one copy of comments to applicants' 
representatives: Dennis N. Barnes, 1800 M Street, N.W. (#600N), 
Washington, DC 20036-5869; and Fritz R. Kahn, Suite 750 West, 1100 New 
York Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20005-3934.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beryl Gordon, (202) 565-1600. [TDD for 
the hearing impaired: (202) 565-1695.]

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The prior notice of the application stated 
that applicants' operations and revenue pooling agreement governs their 
motor passenger and express transportation services between Mobile and 
Birmingham, AL, and between Mobile and New Orleans, LA. No comments 
were received. However, in addition to the described routes, the 
pooling agreement also governs routes between Mobile and Montgomery, 
AL, and between Mobile and Jackson, MS, and between Montgomery and 
Birmingham, between Montgomery and Tallahassee, FL, between Montgomery 
and Meridian, MS, and between Montgomery and Columbus, GA. We have 
reviewed the application and have granted final approval for the 
proposed pooling of services that were specifically covered by our 
prior notice, and have tentatively approved the remainder of the 
application in a decision served September 25, 1997. Because the scope 
of the application is broader than the notice originally published, our 
approval for the broader portion is contingent upon publication of this 
notice and the opportunity for public comment. If no comments are 
received by the due date, our tentative approval of that part of the 
application will become final.
    Copies of the application may be obtained free of charge by 
contacting applicants' representatives. Copies of our decision 
tentatively approving the application may be purchased from DC News & 
Data, Inc., 1925 K Street, N.W., Suite 210, Washington, DC 20006. 
Telephone: (202) 289-4357. (Assistance for the hearing impaired is 
available through TDD services (202) 565-1695.) A copy of this notice 
will be served on the Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, 10th 
Street & Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20530.

    Decided: September 17, 1997.

    By the Board, Chairman Morgan and Vice Chairman Owen.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
