carrier, and (2) to the extent required by regulations of the Com-
mission, the regulations and practices of such carrier affecting such
fares. Such tariffs shall be filed, posted, and published in such form
and manner, and shall contain such information, as the Commission
by regulation shall prescribe. The Commission may reject any tariff
so filed which is not consistent with this section and such regulations.
Any tariff so rejected shall be void.

(b)  Each carrier which, immediately prior to the effective date of
this section, was engaged in transportation specified in Section 284
(a) of this Title II, shall file a tariff in compliance with sub-section
(a) of this Section 288 within ninety (90) days after such date. The
fares shown in such tariff shall be the fares which such carrier was
authorized to charge, immediately prior to such date, under the law
under which it was then regulated, and the regulations and practices
affecting such fares which shall be shown in such tariff shall be such
of the regulations and practices, then in effect under such law, as
the Commission shall by regulations require. Such tariff shall become
effective upon filing. Pending the filing of such tariff, the fares
which such carrier was authorized to charge immediately prior to
the effective date of this sub-title under the law under which it was
then regulated, and the regulations and practices relating to such
fares, shall be the lawful fares and practices and regulations.

(c)  Every carrier shall keep currently on file with the Commis-
sion, if the Commission so requires, the established divisions of all
joint fares for transportation subject to this sub-title in which such
carrier participates.

(d)  No carrier shall charge, for any transportation subject to this
sub-title, any fare other than the applicable fare specified in a tariff
filed by it under this section and in effect at the time. During the
period before a tariff filed by it under this section has become effec-
tive, no carrier referred to in sub-section (b) shall charge, for any
transportation subject to this sub-title, any fare other than the fare
which it was authorized to charge for such transportation imme-
diately prior to the effective date of this section, under the law under
which it was then regulated.

(e)  Any carrier which desires to change any fare specified in a
tariff filed by it under this section, or any regulation or practice
specified in any such tariff affecting such a fare, shall file a tariff
in compliance with this section, showing the change proposed to be
made and shall give notice to the public of the proposed change by
posting and filing such tariff in such manner as the Commission may
by rule, regulation or order provide. Each tariff filed under this
sub-section shall state a date on which the new tariff shall take effect,
and such date shall be at least thirty (30) days after the date on
which the tariff is filed, unless the Commission by order authorizes
its taking effect on an earlier date.

Power to Prescribe Fares, Regulations, and Practices.

289. (a) (1) The Commission, upon complaint or upon its own
initiative, may suspend any fare, regulation, or practice shown in a
tariff filed with it under Section 288 (except a tariff to which Section
288 (b) applies), at any time before such fare, regulation, or practice
would otherwise take effect. Such suspension shall be accomplished
by filing with the tariff, and delivering to the carrier or carriers
