Sec. 7. REGISTRATION OF INTERSTATE OPERATIONS WITHIN THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION EXEMPT

COMMERCIAL ZONES WITH THE COMMISSION. (a) Filing of Application Prior to Operation. Before any motor carrier operating pursuant

to Section 203(b)(8) of the Interstate Commerce Act within the exempt commercial zones as defined by said Interstate Commerce Act or the

Regulations of the Interstate Commerce Commission promulgated thereunder shall conduct any operations within the borders of the State of Indiana,

said carrier shall execute the application in triplicate and submit the filing fees required of interstate carriers by the Motor Carrier Act of 1935, as

amended, and by Rule 6 herein, on the form prescribed pursuant to said Act. In lieu of filing true copies of the interstate authority required by Rule

6, the carrier shall indicate by an exhibit attached to each copy of said application the nature of the operations which are to be conducted within the

borders of the State of Indiana.

(b) Acknowledgement Issued by Commission–Limitation. The Commission shall issue to the motor carrier an acknowledgement

of the filing of the application; no carrier may commence operations within any exempt commercial zone until it has received such acknowledgement

from this Commission. The issuance of such acknowledgement by this Commission shall not constitute a grant of authority for the intrastate

transportation of property or persons for hire between any point of origin and point of destination, both of which are within that part of an exempt

commercial zone within the borders of the State of Indiana.
