notice of exemption on parties of record within 5 days after the verified notice of exemption is filed and shall publish that notice in the Federal Register. The publication of notices under 1180.2d will indicate the labor protection required.

v The filing of a petition to revoke under 49 U.S.C. 10502d does not stay the effectiveness of an exemption.
Except for notices filed under 1180.2d9, stay petitions must be filed at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective. For notices filed under 1180.2d9, stay petitions should be filed as soon as possible before the exemption becomes effective.
