				  made on the regular meeting agenda. Examples include, but are not limited to:
(1) Activities that severely impair or
				  threaten to severely impair public health or safety.
(2) Crippling disasters that severely impair
				  public health or safety.
(3)
				  Administrative disciplinary matters, including, but not limited to,
				  consideration of proposed decisions and stipulations, and pending litigation,
				  that require immediate attention.
(4) Consideration of applications for
				  licenses or certificates for which a decision must be made in less than ten
				  days.

				  extraordinary conditions in which time is of the essence.
(7) Deadlines for Commission action imposed
				  by legislative bodies, courts, other administrative bodies or tribunals, the

A rate increase is not an unforeseen emergency
					 situation.

				  raises issues of major significance for the Commission because the challenged
				  order or decision:

				  precedent or departs from existing Commission precedent without adequate
				  explanation;
(2) changes or refines
				  existing Commission precedent;
(3)
				  presents legal issues of exceptional controversy, complexity, or public
