				notice shall be given by filing with the Commission and keeping open for public
				inspection new schedules stating plainly the change(s) to be made and the time
				when they shall take effect.

				The Commission shall have the authority, either upon written complaint or upon

				such rate, fare, charge, or service. Pending such hearing and the decision
				thereon, the Commission, may suspend the operation of such schedule and defer

				unreasonable burden on intrastate commerce. In the case of a complaint, the
				burden of proof shall be on the complaining party to prove the allegations
				made;
(b) Shall, unless otherwise
				ordered by the Commission, require 15 days' notice for the filing of decreases

				charges;

				day's notice by motor passenger carriers for reductions published to meet the

				carriers.

Current through Rules and Regulations filed through June 27, 2024
(1) Motor carriers engaged in interstate
				commerce within the borders of this state under authority issued by the Federal
				Motor Carrier Safety Administration shall comply with provisions of the Uniform
				Carrier Registration ("UCR") Program as provided for
				49 USCA §
										13908 and Federal Motor Carrier Regulations
				issued there under and in Commission Transportation Rule 515-16-3. To the
				extent the UCR has not been fully implemented to date, the Single State
				Registration System ("SSRS") will continue to apply.
(2) For convenience, certain definitions from
				Chapter 515-16-3 are repeated here:
(a)
				Unified Carrier Registration System or URS means the national registration
				system established by the FMCSA pursuant to
				49 USC §
											13908, which is superseding SSRS.
(b) Single State Registration Receipt means a
				registration receipt issued to interstate motor carriers by their base state,
				identifying the carrier and specifying the states in which the carrier is
				authorized to operate pursuant to 49 CFR § 367.5.
(c) Single State Registration System (SSRS)
				means the requirements for registration of interstate carriers with their base
				state for issuance of registration receipts as described in 49 CFR Part 367 ;
				and SSRS is being superseded by Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) when and if
				the FMCSA completes refining of the computer database and programming for
				UCR.
