R746-110-2. Procedure

The applicant shall file in support of the request sworn statements and documents as may be necessary to establish the pertinent facts of the matter. Thereupon, the Commission may, without hearing, enter its Report and Order in tentative form not to be effective for a minimum of 20 days after its issuance. Provided, however, that in cases where the applicant shall establish good cause, the Commission may waive the 20-day tentative period and issue a final order. Section 63G-4-301 provides for review of final agency orders. The order shall provide that any person may file a protest prior to its effective date and that if the Commission finds the protest to be meritorious, the effective date shall be suspended pending further proceedings. The order shall be served by the applicant upon all persons deemed by the Commission to have an interest or potential interest in the subject matter, and the Commission may require public notice in the form designated by the Commission.

Absent meritorious protest, the order shall automatically become effective without further action.
