Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Unless otherwise provided by rule,
				  decision, or General Order, a protest or response must be filed within 30 days
				  of the date the notice of the filing of the application first appears in the
				  Daily Calendar.
(b) A protest
				  objecting to the granting, in whole or in part, of the authority sought in an
				  application must state the facts or law constituting the grounds for the
				  protest, the effect of the application on the protestant, and the reasons the
				  protestant believes the application, or a part of it, is not justified. If the
				  protest requests an evidentiary hearing, the protest must state the facts the
				  protestant would present at an evidentiary hearing to support its request for
				  whole or partial denial of the application.
(c) Any person may file a response that does
				  not object to the authority sought in an application, but nevertheless presents
				  information that the person tendering the response believes would be useful to
				  the Commission in acting on the application.
(d) Any person protesting or responding to an
				  application shall state in the protest or response any comments or objections
				  regarding the applicant's statement on the proposed category, need for hearing,
				  issues to be considered, and proposed schedule. Any alternative proposed
				  schedule shall be consistent with the proposed category, including a deadline
				  for resolving the proceeding within 12 months or less (adjudicatory proceeding)
				  or 18 months or less (ratesetting or quasi-legislative proceeding) or deadline
				  for issuance of a proposed decision within 12 months or less (catastrophic
				  wildfire proceeding).
(e) An
				  applicant may file replies to protests and responses within 10 days of the last
				  day for filing protests and responses, unless the Administrative Law Judge sets
				  a different date. Replies must be served on all protestants, all parties
				  tendering responses, and the assigned Administrative Law Judge.
