as from time to time may be prescribed and approved by the Commission.

(b) Carriers Engaged in Both Intrastate and Interstate Commerce. Motor carriers engaged in both intrastate and interstate commerce

required to file annual reports with the Interstate Commerce Commission may file copies thereof with this Commission, which will be considered

in full compliance with this rule [this section].

shall not be required to file annual reports with the Commission.

(e) Failure to File Annual Reports. Upon the failure or refusal of any motor carrier to file an annual report in accordance with Paragraphs

(a) and (b) of this Rule [this section], the carrier's certificate or permit and all operations thereunder shall be suspended for a period of thirty

(30) days by order of the Commission. During said suspension period the delinquent annual report shall be filed with and be subject to the approval

of the Commission, which filing and approval by the Commission automatically shall act as a termination of the suspension and as a reinstatement
