We are also concerned that the Rule 48 exemptions could result in great variation in applicability of rules among carriers. If several carriers request an extension of time to implement the same rule, the Commission shall consider consolidating and treating these extension requests as a petition to modify this decision, and require a Commission vote before the requests may be approved in full or in part.
