(3) Motor carriers of household goods operating under certificates may publish and file tariffs with the Commission thirty days in advance of the effective date thereof, effecting changes in the said rates, fares, charges, rules or regulations and such tariffs shall, unless rejected by the Commission prior to the said effective date, be deemed to be approved by the Commission subject to complaint and further order; provided, however, that the filing of such tariffs with the Commission shall not be construed as an approval of any of the rates, fares or charges, rules or regulations which advance a charge or decrease a service, which change was not previously authorized by the Commission. Initial tariffs, rules, etc., when filed with an application for a Certificate to begin operations shall, unless rejected, be deemed to be approved by the Commission effective as of the date that such certificate is issued.
