Sec.  61.171   Adoption notice.

   When a carrier's name is changed, or its operating control transferred from
   one carrier to another in whole or in part, the successor carrier must file
   tariff revisions to reflect the name change. The successor carrier may
   either immediately reissue the entire tariff in its own name, or immediately
   file an adoption notice. Within 35 days of filing an adoption notice, the
   successor must reissue the entire tariff in its own name. The reissued
   tariff must be numbered in the series of the successor carrier, and must
   contain all original pages without changes in regulations or rates. The
   transmittal letter must state the tariff is being filed to show a change in
   the carrier's name pursuant to  Sec. 61.171 of the Commission's Rules. The
   adoption notice, if used, must read as follows:

   The (Exact name of successor carrier or receiver) here adopts, ratifies and
   makes its own in every respect, all applicable tariffs and amendments filed
   with the Federal Communications Commission by (predecessor) prior to (date).
