. If any person or corporation subject to this chapter is in
default of the preparation and submission of any report or the
payment of any fee required by this chapter for a period of 30 days
or more, the commission may suspend or revoke the certificate of
public convenience and necessity, permit, or other operating
authority of the person or corporation or order the person or
corporation to cease and desist from conducting all operations
subject to the jurisdiction of the commission, and the commission may
estimate from all available information the appropriate fee and may
add to the amount of that estimated fee a penalty not to exceed 25
percent of the amount on account of the failure, refusal, or neglect
to prepare and submit the report or to pay the fee, and the person or
corporation shall be estopped to complain of the amount of the
commission's estimate.
Upon payment of the fee so estimated and penalty, if applicable,
the certificate, permit, or other operating authority of the person
or corporation suspended in accordance with this section shall be
reinstated or the order to cease and desist revoked. The commission
may grant a reasonable extension of the 30-day period to any person
or corporation upon written application and a showing of the
necessity of the extension.
Upon revocation of any certificate, permit, or other operating
authority or issuance of an order to cease and desist pursuant to
this section, all fees in default shall become due and payable
immediately.
