(c) Changes in identities shall be reported to and approval obtained from the Commission and the stewards.

(i) A stable name shall be plainly distinguishable from that of another registered stable name.
(j) With the consent of the Commission or the Commission’s steward, a stable name may be transferred. The fee for the transfer is $50, and a new application shall be made.
