    Section 63.19(a)(1) states that the carrier shall notify all 
affected customers of the planned discontinuance, reduction or 
impairment at least 30 days prior to its planned action. Notice shall 
be in writing to each affected customer unless the Commission 
authorizes in advance, for good cause shown, another form of notice.
    Section 63.19(a)(2) states that the carrier shall file with this 
Commission a copy of the notification on the date on which notice has 
been given to all affected customers. The filing may be made by letter 
(sending an original and five copies to the Office of the Secretary, 
and a copy to the Chief, International Bureau) and shall identify the 
geographic areas of the planned discontinuance, reduction or impairment 
and the authorization(s) pursuant to which the carrier provides 
service.
    Section 63.24(c) requires that a transfer of control is a 
transaction in which the authorization remains held by the same entity, 
but there is a change in the entity or entities that control the 
authorization holder. A change from less than 50 percent ownership to 
50 percent or more ownership shall always be considered a transfer of 
control. A change from 50 percent or more ownership to less than 50

all other situations, whether the interest being transferred is 
controlling must be determined on a case-by-case basis. Once a carrier 
determines that there has been a transfer of control, it must file an 
application with the Commission.
