Intervenors play a more formal role in the process.
Among other things, intervenors have the right to receive copies of case-related Commission documents and filings by other intervenors. Likewise, each intervenor must provide 14 copies of its filings to the Secretary of the Commission and must send a copy of its filings to all other parties on the Commission's service list for this proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. The date for filing timely motions to intervene in this proceeding has passed having ended on March 26, 1998.
