(d) A petitioner for an abandonment
exemption must serve a copy of the petition on the persons receiving notices
of exemption under § 1152.50(d). The petition must include the following statement: ‘‘Based on information in our
possession, the line (does) (does not)

carriers that receive authority to abandon a line by individual exemption
under 49 U.S.C. 10502 must file with the
