Section 017-21-8 - Requests for reconsideration

A person aggrieved by a decision of the Commission may request that the Commission reconsider that decision. A request for reconsideration must be made in writing within 10 business days after the Commission's decision and may be made for:

1. Correction of any part of the decision that the party believes to be in error, or

2. An opportunity to present new or additional evidence that was not readily available at any prior time in the proceedings,

The request must set forth the findings or conclusions to which the party objects, the basis of the objections, the nature of any new or additional evidence to be offered and the nature of the relief requested. Within 30 days of receiving a complete reconsideration request, the Commission shall decide whether to reconsider its decision. The Commission may hold a hearing if it desires to reconsider its decision.

In considering the request, the Commission may grant the party in full or in part or deny the request. The Commission shall provide reasonable notice to the party and other parties in the underlying proceedings.

The Commission may allow the record to be supplemented when it finds that the evidence offered is relevant and material and that an interested party seeking to supplement the record has shown that bringing the evidence to the process earlier in the proceeding was not possible.
