Idaho Admin. Code r. 31.01.01.352
Settlements in which one (1) or more parties agree to dismiss an appeal, cross-appeal, or issue on appeal or cross-appeal in conjunction with the alteration, amendment or rescission of a Commission order, are called settlements calling for Commission action. If any party to an appeal wishes to negotiate a settlement calling for Commission action, it must notify the Commission and all other parties to the appeal of its intention to do so. If the Commission believes that settlement negotiations are in the public interest, it may authorize the Commission Staff to enter into settlement negotiations. In conducting those negotiations, the Staff must abide by Rule 272 regarding active settlements of issues before the Commission. Settlement negotiations are confidential, unless all participants to the negotiation agree to the contrary.
