Text: {14} Under the provisions of the Motor Carrier Act at the time of Intervenors’ protest, motor carriers operating over the routes or in the territory involved in an application for a permit may protest an application for a permit to be heard on whether granting the permit would endanger or impair their operations contrary to the public interest. Under Commission Rule 27, such motor carriers have a right to intervene in the PRC proceedings and the PRC must conduct a public hearing on the application. We reverse and remand to the PRC for proceedings consistent with this opinion. {15} IT IS SO ORDERED. WE CONCUR: PATRICIO M. SERNA, PETRA JIMENEZ MAES, Justices and RICHARD C. BOSSON, Chief Justice (dissenting).
