49 CFR Part 604
Charter Service; Address Change
AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Technical amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This technical amendment revises an address related to the
agency's charter bus requirements. The amendment is required because
the organization has moved.
EFFECTIVE DATE: August 25, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rita Daguillard, Attorney Advisor,
Office of the Chief Counsel, 202-366-1936.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 49 CFR part 604 of the Federal Transit
Administration's (FTA) regulations govern charter service that
recipients of FTA funding may provide using FTA funded equipment or
facilities. The regulation prohibits an FTA recipient from providing
charter service if there is a private charter operator willing and able
to provide the charter service proposed by the recipient.
In determining whether there are any willing and able operators to
provide this charter service, an FTA recipient must follow the
procedures set forth at 49 CFR 604.11. These include public
participation procedures, which require a recipient to send a notice to
all private charter operators in the proposed geographic area, and to
any private operator that requires notice, to determine if there is any
private operator willing and able to provide the charter service
proposed in the notice. Further, recipients must send a copy of this
notice to both the American Bus Association and the United Bus Owners
of America.
In this connection, the American Bus Association has changed its
location. This notice merely updates its address.
For the reasons set forth above, Title 49, Chapter VI of the Code
of Federal Regulations is amended as set forth below:
