Abstract

Patrick O. Regan (Applicant) filed an application seeking authority to acquire control of Faribault Transportation Service, Inc. (FTS), through a corporate reorganization in which Applicant would become the majority shareholder in MNC Holding Company, a new entity created to serve as a holding company for FTS and other motor carriers and noncarrier entities. Applicant also seeks after-the-fact authority for several already-consummated transactions that ultimately resulted in Applicant's acquisition of control of six passenger motor carriers: Minnesota Coaches, Inc., Marschall Line, Inc., Rehbein Transit Co., Inc., Minn-Dakota Coaches, Inc., Voyageur Bus Company, Inc., and Ready Bus Company, Inc. (collectively, Affiliated Carriers). The Board is tentatively approving and authorizing these transactions. If no opposing comments are timely filed, this notice will be the final Board action.
