 CHAPTER X--SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 
                               (Continued)
 
PART 1312_REGULATIONS FOR THE PUBLICATION, POSTING AND FILING OF TARIFFS 
 
Sec. 1312.15  Change of carrier or agent.

    (a) Change in carrier. When a carrier's name is lawfully changed, or 
a fiduciary assumes possession and control of a carrier's property, all 
affected tariffs must be amended to reflect the change. The amendments 
required by this paragraph shall be filed promptly and, if possible, 
prior to their effective date, but in no case later than 60 days 
thereafter. Regardless of the date the tariff is actually filed, the 
effective date for an amendment required by this paragraph is the date 
the event occurs.
    (b) Change of agent. When a new agent is appointed to take over an 
agency, or when an alternate agent assumes the duties of the principal 
agent, each of the superseded agent's effective tariffs shall 
immediately be amended to reflect the change, bearing an effective date 
the same as the date of the transfer. In the case of a new agent, this 
may only occur after one or more of the participating carriers issues a 
power of attorney to the new agent, and revokes the previous power of 
attorney. At the same time, all affected tariffs will be amended to 
reflect the new powers of attorney, and all carriers who have not issued 
them must be canceled from the tariff.
