Section 23.71 - Filing on less than 30 days' notice

(a) No carrier may file a tariff or supplement on less than 30 days' notice, unless it shall have first received special permission from the Commission to do so.

(b) Applications for authority to file tariffs or supplements on less than the prescribed notice shall be made in duplicate under oath by a responsible officer of the applicant in the form set forth in subsection (c).

(c) Short notice authority will be granted only in cases where actual emergency and real merit are shown. A desire to meet the rates of a competing carrier which have been established in the regular manner will not in itself be considered as sufficient cause for permitting changes in rates or other provisions without observance of the usual filing period.
