Section 4 CCR 723-1-1305 - Rejection or Suspension of Proposed Tariffs, Price Lists, or Time Schedules(a) Protests. (I) During the initial notice period, any person may file a written protest against a proposed tariff, price list, or time schedule.(II) If the Commission sets a proposed tariff, price list or time schedule for hearing, a person who registers a protest shall not be permitted to participate as a party unless that person then intervenes as provided in rule 1401 and paragraph (d) of this rule.(b) The Commission may, pursuant to § 40-6-111(3), C.R.S., reject any proposed tariff, price list, or time schedule that is not submitted in the format required by statute or the Commission's orders or rules.(c) The Commission may determine that a hearing is required to investigate and determine the propriety of any proposed tariff, price list, or time schedule. Such a decision thereby suspends the effective date of the proposed tariff, price list, or time schedule pending a decision by the Commission, pursuant to § 40-6-111(1)(a) and (b). Any decision requiring a hearing shall be served upon the regulated entity proposing the tariff, price list, or time schedule.(d) Any person wishing to participate as a party in any hearing the Commission may hold on a suspended tariff, price list, or time schedule, must file a notice of intervention as of right or motion to permissively intervene as provided in rule 1401. The regulated entity filing the suspended tariff, price list, or time schedule is a party and does not need to file an intervention.(e) A suspension shall not extend more than 120 days beyond the proposed effective date of the tariff, price list, or time schedule unless the Commission, by separate decision, extends the suspension for an additional period of time not to exceed 130 days.(f) No change sought by a suspended tariff, price list, or time schedule, shall become effective unless the Commission fails to issue a decision on the merits within the suspension period. If the Commission orders a change to be made to the suspended tariff, price list, or time schedule and states the time when the change shall take effect, and states the manner in which it shall be filed and published, the suspended tariff shall be permanently suspended and the regulated entity shall make a compliance filing that incorporates the ordered changes.38 CR 02, January 25, 2015, effective 2/14/201538 CR 20, October 25, 2015, effective 11/14/201543 CR 13, July 10, 2020, effective 7/30/202045 CR 07, April 10, 2022, effective 4/30/2022
