The carrier must notify the Commission when there is: (1) A change in the legal name of the carrier; (2) A transfer of all of the carrier's properties; or (3) A change in ownership of only a portion of the carrier's property. (b) Notification. The carrier must provide notice of these occurrences by tariff publication, filed as soon as possible but no later than 30 days following such occurrence. The filing of adoption notices and adoption supplements requires no notice period. (c) Complete adoption. (1) When a carrier changes its legal name, or when ownership of all a carrier's properties is transferred, the adopting carrier must file and post an adoption notice, numbered in its own FERC Tariff series, reading as follows:
The [legal name of adopting carrier] hereby adopts and makes its own all tariff publications of [name of adopted carrier], effective [date]. (2) The adopting carrier must concurrently file a consecutively numbered supplement to each of the adopted carrier's tariffs covered by the adoption notice, reading as follows:
Effective [date shown on adoption notice] this tariff publication became the tariff of the [legal name of adopting carrier] as per its adoption notice FERC No. [number]. (3) The supplements issued under this section may contain no other matter, and must refer to §341.6. (4) The adopting carrier must transfer into its FERC Tariff series the rates applying locally on the adopted lines. The transfer must be made within 30 days of the filing of the adoption notices and supplements. The adopting carrier must give 30 days notice as provided for in §341.2(b). (d) Partial adoption. (1) When the ownership of a portion of a carrier's properties is transferred to another carrier the adopting carrier must file and post an adoption notice, numbered in its own FERC Tariff series, containing the statement as follows:
The [legal name of adopting carrier] hereby adopts and makes its own, the tariffs of [legal name of former owner] for transportation movements [describe by FERC tariff number, origin, and destination points], effective [date of adoption]. (2) When a point on the transferred portion of a carrier's properties will continue to remain a point on the former owner's line, a reference must be provided in connection with the name of that point, explaining the common junction point. (3) The former owner must immediately file a consecutively numbered supplement to each of its tariffs covered by the adoption notice, reading as follows:
Effective [date of adoption notice] this tariff became the tariff of [legal name of adopting carrier] for transportation movements [identify origin and destination points], as per its adoption notice FERC No. [number]. (4) The adoption supplements issued under this section may contain no other matter, and must refer to §341.6. (5) Rates applying locally on the transferred portion must be transferred into the FERC Tariff series of the adopting carrier within 30 days of the filing of the adoption notices and supplements. The adopting carrier must file and post its tariff publication as provided for in §341.2(b). Where rates are transferred from tariffs of the former owner to tariffs of the adopting carrier, the adopting carrier must establish the rates in its tariffs and the former owner must cancel the corresponding rates in its tariffs effective on the same date. The former owner must reference the FERC Tariff number of the adopting carrier for rates applying thereafter. [58 FR 58773, Nov. 4, 1993, as amended by Order 606, 64 FR 44404, Aug. 16, 1999]
