Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 5, September 4, 2024

Rule 199-7.27 - Rehearing and reconsideration

(1)Application for rehearing or reconsideration. Any party to a contested case may file an application for rehearing or reconsideration of the final decision. The application for rehearing or reconsideration shall be filed within 20 days after the final decision in the contested case is issued. This subrule shall not be construed as prohibiting reconsideration of commission orders in other than contested cases. The commission shall either grant or refuse an application for rehearing within 30 days after the filing of the application or may, after giving the interested parties notice and opportunity to be heard and after consideration of all the facts, including those arising since the making of the order, abrogate or modify its order. A failure by the commission to act upon the application for rehearing within the above period shall be deemed a refusal of the application.

(2)Contents of application. Applications for rehearing or reconsideration shall specify the findings of fact and conclusions of law claimed to be erroneous, with a brief statement of the alleged grounds of error. Any application for rehearing or reconsideration asserting that evidence has arisen since the final order was issued as a ground for rehearing or reconsideration shall present the evidence by affidavit that includes an explanation of the competence of the person to sponsor the evidence and a brief description of the evidence sought to be included.

(3)Requirements for objections to applications for rehearing or reconsideration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subrule 7.9(2), an answer or objection to an application for a rehearing or reconsideration must be filed within 14 days of the date the application was filed with the commission unless otherwise ordered by the commission.
