Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				  Applications. By resolution at each Commission business meeting, the Commission
				  shall preliminarily determine, for each proceeding initiated by application
				  filed on or after the Commission's prior business meeting, the category of the
				  proceeding. The preliminary determination may be held for one Commission
				  business meeting if the time of filing did not permit an informed
				  determination. The preliminary determination is not appealable, but shall be
				  confirmed or changed by assigned Commissioner's ruling pursuant to Rule 7.3,
				  and such ruling as to the category is subject to appeal under Rule
				  7.6.
(b) Complaints. For each
				  proceeding initiated by complaint, the Chief Administrative Law Judge, in
				  consultation with the President of the Commission, shall determine the category
				  of the proceeding. The determination as to the category will be stated in the
				  instructions to answer and is appealable under Rule 7.6.
(c) Investigations. An order instituting
				  investigation shall determine the category of the proceeding and attach a
				  preliminary scoping memo. The order, only as to the category, is appealable
				  under the procedures in Rule 7.6.
(d) Rulemakings. An order instituting
				  rulemaking shall preliminarily determine the category and shall attach a
				  preliminary scoping memo. The preliminary determination is not appealable, but
				  shall be confirmed or changed by assigned Commissioner's ruling pursuant to
				  Rule 7.3, and such ruling as to the category is subject to appeal under Rule
				  7.6.
(e) Commission Discretion in
				  Categorization.
(1) When a proceeding may fit
				  more than one category as defined in Rules 1.3(a), (b), (f), and (g), the
				  Commission may determine which category appears most suitable to the
				  proceeding, or may divide the subject matter of the proceeding into different
				  phases or one or more new proceedings.
(2) When a proceeding does not clearly fit
				  into any of the categories as defined in Rules 1.3(a), (b), (f), and (g), the
				  proceeding will be conducted under the rules applicable to the ratesetting
				  category unless and until the Commission determines that the rules applicable
				  to one of the other categories, or some hybrid of the rules, are best suited to
				  the proceeding.
(3) In exercising
				  its discretion under this rule, the Commission shall so categorize a proceeding
				  and shall make such other procedural orders as best to enable the Commission to
				  achieve a full, timely, and effective resolution of the substantive issues
				  presented in the proceeding.

				  address the schedule, the issues to be considered, and any other matter
				  specified in the ruling setting the prehearing conference.

				  discretion not to set a prehearing conference in a quasi-legislative
				  proceeding.
