Current through June 11, 2024
1. Except as
				otherwise provided in subsection 3, a common motor carrier who is subject to
				the provisions of NAC 706.010 to 706.4019, inclusive, shall not interrupt any
				service established pursuant to the provisions of NRS
				NRS
				706.011 to
				706.791,
				inclusive, for more than 48 hours in any 180-day period without filing a
				petition and obtaining an order granting the petition from the Authority. The
				Authority will give public notice and, if a protest is filed, hold a hearing on
				the petition before granting the petition. The Authority may hold a hearing on
				the petition if no protests are filed. If the Authority does not act on the
				petition within 45 days after its filing, the petitioner may temporarily
				suspend operations until a final order is entered by the Authority.
2. A carrier who interrupts such service for
				less than 48 hours must provide notice to the Authority if the service being
				interrupted is the transportation of passengers. A notice required pursuant to
				this subsection must include, without limitation, the justification for the
				interruption of service. Financial or economic hardship may not be used to
				justify such an interruption. An interruption of less than 48 hours may not be
				renewed or extended unless the carrier files a petition and obtains an order in
				accordance with subsection 1.
3. If
				an interruption of service for more than 48 hours is caused by an unforeseeable
				event which is beyond the control of the carrier, the carrier must provide
				written notice to the Authority within 24 hours after the event. If service is
				not resumed within 10 days after such an interruption, the carrier must file a
				petition in accordance with subsection 1.
4. An order of the Authority granting the
				temporary interruption of service expires 180 days after the date on which the
				petition was filed. If the carrier has not resumed service on a permanent basis
				upon the expiration of such an order, the staff of the Authority shall, within
				30 days after the expiration of the order, forward a recommendation to the
				Authority stating whether the Authority should issue an order to show cause why
				the certificate of public convenience and necessity of the carrier should not
				be revoked.
