				settlement of matters. The following procedures are available for informal
				dispute resolution that may make more elaborate proceedings under the
				Administrative Procedure Act unnecessary.

			 resolution to disputes whenever possible. Any person whose interest in a matter
			 before an agency may be resolved by settlement shall communicate his or her
			 request or complaint to the agency, setting forth all pertinent facts and
			 particulars and the desired remedy. If the agency requires additional
			 information to resolve the matter informally, it shall promptly provide to the
			 person who is seeking relief an opportunity to supply such information.
			 Settlement negotiations shall be informal and without prejudice to rights of a
			 participant in the negotiations; Provided, however, that any time limit
			 applicable to filing an application for an adjudicative proceeding shall not be
			 extended because settlement attempts are pending.
(b) In the event an early, informal
			 resolution is reached, the agency is responsible for providing a written
			 description of the resolution to the person(s) involved.
