(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), a motor carrier may not operate motor vehicles upon any public highway in interstate commerce under a certificate of public convenience and necessity or permit issued to the carrier by the United States Department of Transportation until the carrier has:
(1) registered the certificate or permit with the department annually in the form and manner required by the department; and

Upon registration by a motor carrier under subsection (a), the department shall issue an acknowledgment.
(c) An interstate certificate of registration or permit, or an acknowledgment of a certificate or permit, may be issued by the department without a public hearing.
