(c) (1) Whenever there is filed with the regulatory body any schedule proposing a change in any rates, charges, or rules, the regulatory body shall have authority, either upon complaint or upon its own initiative, and upon reasonable notice, to enter upon a hearing concerning the propriety of the rate, charge, or rule. (2) Pending the hearing and the decision thereon, the regulatory body, upon filing of the schedule or after the schedule should be filed, and upon delivering to the carriers or public service corporations affected thereby a statement in writing of its reasons for such a suspension, may suspend the operation of the schedule and defer the use of the rate or charge.
