 (c)  An entity subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the Commission, or its trustee in bankruptcy, shall file a copy of the reorganization plan for itself or for its bankrupt parent, subsidiary or affiliate for Commission review within 10 days after the debtor has filed the plan, its supplements and amendments, or has received notice that the plan has been filed with the court.

 (d)  If the reorganization plan submitted under subsection (c) contemplates the abandonment of service, the submittal must include an application under Chapter 11 of the act (relating to certificates of public convenience).

§ 1.62. Filing and record of securities certificate in bankruptcy proceedings.

 After final approval of a plan by the bankruptcy court, but before issuing or changing the terms and conditions of securities, the debtor or its successor shall file with the Commission a securities certificate in respect to the issuance or change. Development of a record in the proceeding, however, may be unnecessary, if the petition contains a stipulation that the record in a previous proceeding relating to the plan may be considered by the Commission in passing upon the securities certificate.
