Whenever the Commission upon investigation instituted upon its own motion or upon petition of any code member, district board, State or political subdivision thereof, or the consumers' counsel, after hearing finds that transactions in coal in intrastate commerce by any person or in any locality cause any undue or un- reasonable advantage, preference, or prejudice as between persons and local ities in suc h comm erce o n the one ha nd and inter state com- merce in coal on the other hand, or any undue, unreasonable, or unjust discrimination against interstate commerce in coal, or in any manner directly affect interstate commerce in coal, the Commission shall by order so declare and thereafter coal sold, delivered or offered for sale in such intrastate commerce shall be subject to the provisions of section 4 . Any producer believing that any commerce in coal is not subject to the provisions of section 4 or to the provisions of the first para- graph of this section may file with the Commission an application, ve rifie d by oath or af firma tion for e xempt ion, setti ng fo rth t he facts upon which such claim is based .

If the Commission has reason to believe that such exemption during the period prior to action upon the application is likely to permit evasion of the Act with respect to commerce in coal properly subject, to the provisions of section 4 or of the first paragraph of this section, it may suspend the exemption for a period not to exceed ten days . Within a reasonable time after the receipt of any application for exemption the Com- mission shall enter an order granting, or, after notice and oppor- tunity for hearing, denying or otherwise disposing of such appli- cation. As a condition to the entry of and as a part of any order granting such application, the Commission may require the appli- cant to apply periodically for renewals of such order and to file such periodic reports as the Commission may find necessary or appropriate to enable it to determine whether the conditions sup- porting the exemption continue to exist .
