A. Interested participants: Entry of appearance: Any person who wishes to be treated as an interested participant and to cross-examine witnesses at the hearing shall file and serve upon all parties an entry of appearance at least fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing. For purposes of this subsection, a statement of intent to present evidence filed under 20.1.2.206 NMAC shall be considered an entry of appearance if the person has not previously filed a separate entry of appearance. The entry of appearance shall identify the person wishing to be treated as an interested participant and any individual who may appear on behalf of that person.

B. Participation by the general public: Any person who has not timely filed either an entry of appearance or a statement of intent to present evidence may present a general non-technical statement as follows.

(1) Any member of the general public may testify at the hearing. No prior notification is required to present general non-technical statements in support of or in opposition to the petition. Any such member may also offer exhibits in connection with his testimony, so long as the exhibit is non-technical in nature and not unduly repetitious of the testimony.

(2) A member of the general public who wishes to submit a written statement for the record, in lieu of providing oral testimony at the hearing, shall file the written statement prior to or at the hearing.
