COMPACT, ANY FARE OTHER THAN THE FARE WHICH IT WAS
AUTHORIZED TO CHARGE FOR SUCH TRANSPORTATION IMMEDIATELY
PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS SECTION, UNDER THE
LAW UNDER WHICH IT WAS THEN REGULATED.
(E) PROPOSED CHANGE OF FARE.
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 SUBSECTION 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.
6. POWER TO PRESCRIBE FARES, REGULATIONS, AND
PRACTICES.
(A) PROCEDURE WHEN TARIFF FILED; FACTORS TO BE
CONSIDERED.
(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 §5 OF THIS
TITLE (EXCEPT A TARIFF TO WHICH §5 (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 AFFECTED THEREBY, A NOTIFICATION
IN WRITING OF SUCH SUSPENSION. IN DETERMINING WHETHER
ANY PROPOSED CHANGE SHALL BE SUSPENDED, THE COMMISSION
SHALL GIVE CONSIDERATION TO, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE CARRIER, ITS REVENUE
REQUIREMENTS, AND WHETHER THE CARRIER IS BEING OPERATED
ECONOMICALLY AND EFFICIENTLY. THE PERIOD OF SUSPENSION
SHALL TERMINATE NINETY (90) DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH
THE FARE, REGULATION, OR PRACTICE INVOLVED WOULD
OTHERWISE GO INTO EFFECT, UNLESS THE COMMISSION EXTENDS
SUCH PERIOD AS PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH (2).
(2) IF, AFTER HEARING HELD UPON REASONABLE
NOTICE, THE COMMISSION FINDS THAT ANY FARE, REGULATION OR
PRACTICE RELATING THERETO, SO SUSPENDED IS UNJUST,
UNREASONABLE, OR UNDULY PREFERENTIAL OR UNDULY
DISCRIMINATORY EITHER BETWEEN RIDERS OR SECTIONS OF THE
METROPOLITAN DISTRICT, IT SHALL ISSUE AN ORDER
PRESCRIBING THE LAWFUL FARE, REGULATION, OR PRACTICE TO
BE IN EFFECT. THE FARE, REGULATION, OR PRACTICE SO
PRESCRIBED SHALL TAKE EFFECT ON THE DATE SPECIFIED IN
SUCH ORDER. IF SUCH AN ORDER HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED WITHIN
THE NINETY (90) DAY SUSPENSION PERIOD PROVIDED FOR IN
