Section 6 AAC 30.470 - Recommended decision(a) The administrative law judge or hearing examiner shall promptly recommend findings of fact, conclusions of law, and an order to the hearing commissioners. A copy of the recommendations will be served on the parties.(b) On any question that is determinative of the jurisdiction of the commission or the culpability of any party, the administrative law judge or hearing examiner may only make recommendations to the hearing commissioners.(c) When demeanor, inconsistency, or personal credibility is a basis for the recommendations, the administrative law judge or hearing examiner shall specifically note these observations in the recommendations.(d) Within 15 days after receipt of the examiner's recommendations, any party may file objections with the administrative law judge or hearing examiner and serve copies on the parties. Responses to objections may not be filed except at the direction of the administrative law judge or hearing examiner. The administrative law judge or hearing examiner may reconsider the recommendations objected to and may order oral argument. If reconsideration is denied, the hearing record together with the recommendations and the objections, if any, will be sent to the hearing commissioners for issuance of a final order. If the administrative law judge or hearing examiner does not rule on the objections within 20 days after the objections were filed, the objections will be considered denied.(e) The administrative law judge or hearing examiner may grant a reasonable extension to file objections if a party shows that a transcript is essential to make an objection, or for other good cause shown.Eff. 6/6/75, Register 54; am 12/17/76, Register 60; am 3/12/81, Register 77; am 12/14/2007, Register 1846 AAC 30.470(a), (b) and (c) were based on 6 AAC 30.055(b), (c) and (e), and 6 AAC 30.470(d) was based on 6 AAC 30.095(a) before 3/12/81.
