To expedite action and the resolution of uncontested applications/petitions the Board hereby resolves to:  

1.         discard the requirement of notice by registered mail to affected operators by applications/petitions for extension of validity of expiring/expired Certificates of Public Convenience and the approval of petitions for the sale and transfer of valid and subsisting CPCs, considering that the basic requirement of public convenience and necessity has already been established when the original CPCs were issued;

2.         require applicants/petitioners to submit with their Formal Offer of Evidence, four (4) copies of the pro-forma draft decision in the form duly approved by the Board, copies of which shall be made available by the Legal Division; and,

3.         deny or withhold action on the uncontested applications/petitions should the draft decisions submitted not to be required approved form and the data therein contained does not conform with the evidence or data on record.

With respect to the recording of the necessary data for the issuance of verifications and/or confirmation of duly authorized or franchised units under the CPCs issued by the Board, the motor/engine numbers of the units shall no longer be indicated, since what is controlling are the chassis numbers and yellow license plates issued by the LTO upon registration of the franchise units.

Previous issuances or parts thereof that are inconsistent with this memorandum circular are hereby modified or repealed to conform with this Memorandum Circular.

This circular shall take effect fifteen (15) days after the filing of three (3) copies thereof with the U.P. Law Center pursuant to Presidential Memorandum Circular No. 11 dated 09 October 1992.

Adopted: 07 June 2001
