If a respondent can reasonably show a need for additional time to prepare a defense to alleged statutory or regulatory violations, the presiding officer may, in his or her complete discretion, grant an extension of time for a reasonable period. Such continuances or extensions of time will be granted for good cause only. A second request for a continuance or extension of time advanced by a respondent in any show cause hearing proceeding will only be granted in consequence of extraordinary circumstances.
