Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Application for rehearing of a Commission
				  order or decision shall be filed within 30 days after the date the Commission
				  mails the order or decision, or within 10 days of mailing in the case of an
				  order relating to (1) security transactions and the transfer or encumbrance of
				  utility property as described in Public Utilities Code Section
				  1731(b),
				  or (2) the Department of Water Resources as described in Public Utilities Code
				  Section
				  1731(c).
(b) Filing of an application for rehearing
				  shall not excuse compliance with an order or a decision. An application filed
				  ten or more days before the effective date of an order suspends the order until
				  the petition is granted or denied. Absent further Commission order, this
				  suspension will lapse after 60 days. The Commission may extend the suspension
				  period.
(c) Applications for
				  rehearing shall set forth specifically the grounds on which the applicant
				  considers the order or decision of the Commission to be unlawful or erroneous,
				  and must make specific references to the record or law. The purpose of an
				  application for rehearing is to alert the Commission to a legal error, so that
				  the Commission may correct it expeditiously.
(d) A response to an application for
				  rehearing is not necessary. Any response may be filed and served no later than
				  fifteen days after the day the application for rehearing was filed. In
				  instances of multiple applications for rehearing the response may be to all
				  such applications, and may be filed 15 days after the last application for
				  rehearing was filed. The Commission is not obligated to withhold a decision on
				  an application for rehearing to allow time for a response to be
				  filed.
(e) An application for
				  rehearing or a response to an application for rehearing shall not exceed 50
				  pages.
