     221.061 Petition for certificate; fee; hearing. 

    A person desiring a certificate authorizing operation as a 
 regular route common carrier of passengers, a class I carrier, 
 or petroleum carrier, or an extension of or amendment to that 
 certificate, shall file a petition with the commissioner which 
 must contain information as the board and commissioner, by rule 
 may prescribe. 

    Upon the filing of a petition for a certificate, the 
 petitioner shall pay to the commissioner as a fee for issuing 
 the certificate the sum of $300 and for a transfer or lease of 
 the certificate the sum of $300. 

    The petition must be processed as any other petition.  The 
 board shall cause a copy and a notice of hearing thereon to be 
 served upon a competing carrier operating into a city located on 
 the proposed route of the petitioner and to other persons or 
 bodies politic which the board deems interested in the 
 petition.  A competing carrier and other persons or bodies 
 politic are hereby declared to be interested parties to the 
 proceedings. 

    If, during the hearing, an amendment to the petition is 
 proposed which appears to be in the public interest, the board 
 may allow it when the issues and the territory are not unduly 
 broadened by the amendment.
