Action
Withdrawal of rulemaking.
Summary
This document withdraws the rulemaking in which the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) proposed to amend its requirements on charter bus service. On June 23, 1997, FTA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in which it sought public comment on proposed amendments to the charter service regulations. Based on a review of the comments to the NPRM, FTA has concluded that there is no consensus that the proposed changes will improve the ability of public operators to utilize the existing regulatory exceptions to the prohibition against providing charter service when a private charter operator is willing and able to do so. Accordingly, FTA hereby withdraws this rulemaking.
