                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

ISSUANCE OF TEMPORARY AUTHORITY (§ 46.2-2011.1)

To enable the provision of service for which there is an immediate and urgent
need to a point or between points in Virginia where certificated carriers are
unable to perform the service, or within a territory having no certificated
carrier, the Department may, in its discretion and without hearings or other
proceedings, grant temporary authority for such service by a carrier that would
otherwise be required to obtain a certificate under this chapter. Such temporary
authority, unless suspended or revoked in accordance with § 46.2-2011.26, shall
be valid for such time as the Department shall specify, but for not more than an
aggregate of 180 days, and shall create no presumption that corresponding
permanent authority will be granted thereafter.
