Sec. 23. CONCURRENCES. (a) Forms of concurrences. The following forms shall be issued in giving to carriers subject to these rules concurrences in tariffs which are issued and filed by such carriers or their agents in which the carriers giving concurrences are participants. The provisions of Rule 20(g) and (h) will apply also to concurrences. If two or more carriers execute powers of attorney authorizing an agent to publish joint rates for them, it will not be necessary for those carriers to exchange concurrences with each other as to the joint tariffs issued by that agent under that authority.

(b) Specific. Form P.S.C.I. C1 shall be used in giving concurrrence in a particular tariff that is issued and filed by another carrier. The original of form P.S.C.I. C1 shall be forwarded to the carrier issuing the tariff and shall by such carrier be transmitted to the Commission with the tariff. This form when not restricted will serve as continuing evidence of participation in the tariff described in the concurrence and in all supplements to and successive issues thereof. If reference to successive issues be stricken out a new concurrence will be required for each successive issue of the tariff. Except as provided above, this form shall not be qualified in any way but must evidence concurrence in all rates, rules or other provisions contained in the tariff publication named therein.

(c) General. If general concurrence be given by a carrier in tariffs issued by another carrier or its agent, naming rates from or to points on its line or over its lines, form P.S.C.I. C2 shall be used. Form P.S.C.I. C2 may be executed as shown, when it will authorize publication of rates for the concurring carrier from and to points served by such carrier as well as from and to points served by other carriers where the concurring carrier acts as intermediate line. If it is desired to limit the authority granted to exclude publication of rates in connection with which the concurring carrier would act as either origin, intermediate, or destination line, the form may be modified to that extent by substituting the words "from-to" for words "between-and" or by use of other appropriate language to effect the modification authorized. When authority is given an agent to publish rates for a carrier participating under authority of a concurrence to another carrier, for whom such agent acts, care must be exercised that the rates published for the concurring carrier do not exceed the scope of the authority given.

(e) Revision of tariffs when authority revoked. When a power of attorney or concurrence is revoked, corresponding revision of the tariff or tariffs should be made effective upon statutory notice not later than the effective date stated in the notice of revocation. In the event of failure to so revise the applicable tariff or tariffs, the rates in such tariff or tariffs remain applicable until lawfully cancelled.

(f) Conflicting authority to be avoided. In giving concurrences care must be taken to avoid duplication authority to two or more carriers which, if used, would result in conflicting rates or rules.
