PART 374_PASSENGER CARRIER REGULATIONS--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart E_Incidental Charter Rights
 
Sec. 374.503  Authority.

    Motor carriers transporting passengers, in interstate or foreign 
commerce, over regular routes authorized in a certificate issued as a 
result of an application filed before January 2, 1967, may transport 
special or chartered parties, in interstate or foreign commerce, between 
any points and places in the United States (including Alaska and 
Hawaii). The term ``special or chartered party'' means a group of 
passengers who, with a common purpose and under a single contract, and 
at a fixed charge for the vehicle in accordance with the carrier's 
tariff, have acquired the exclusive use of a passenger-carrying motor 
vehicle to travel together as a group to a specified destination or for 
a particular itinerary.
