§ 63.63 Emergency discontinuance, reduction, or impairment of service.
(a) Application for authority for emergency discontinuance, reduction,
or impairment of service shall be made by filing an informal request in
quintuplicate as soon as practicable but not later than 15 days in the
case of public coast stations; or 65 days in all other cases, after the
occurrence of the conditions which have occasioned the discontinuance,
reduction, or impairment. The request shall make reference to this
section and show the following:
(1) The effective date of such discontinuance, reduction, or
impairment, and the identification of the service area affected;
(2) The nature and estimated duration of the conditions causing the
discontinuance, reduction, or impairment;
(3) The facts showing that such conditions could not reasonably have
been foreseen by the carrier in sufficient time to prevent such
discontinuance, reduction, or impairment;
(4) A description of the service involved;
(5) The nature of service which will be available or substituted;
(6) The effect upon rates to any person in the community;
(7) The efforts made and to be made by applicant to restore the
original service or establish comparable service as expeditiously as
possible.
(b) Authority for the emergency discontinuance, reduction, or
impairment of service for a period of 60 days shall be deemed to have
been granted by the Commission effective as of the date of the filing
of the request unless, on or before the 15th day after the date of
filing, the Commission shall notify the carrier to the contrary.
Renewal of such authority may be requested by letter or telegram, filed
with the Commission not later than 10 days prior to the expiration of
such 60-day period, making reference to this section and showing that
such conditions may reasonably be expected to continue for a further
period and what efforts the applicant has made to restore the original
or establish comparable service. If the same or comparable service is
reestablished before the termination of the emergency authorization,
the carrier shall notify the Commission promptly. However, the
Commission may, upon specific request of the carrier and upon a proper
showing, contained in such informal request, authorize such
discontinuance, reduction, or impairment of service for an indefinite
period or permanently.
