Section 15-141. RECONSIDERATION OF ORDERS ISSUED PURSUANT TO TITLE III OF THE ELECTRIC COMPANY INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT FINANCING ACT OF 2014
-
141.1 Any party affected by any final order or decision issued pursuant to Title III of the “Electric Company Infrastructure Improvement Financing Act of 2014” (“ECIIFA”) may within thirty (30) days after publication of the order or decision, file with the Commission an application in writing requesting a reconsideration or modification of the matters involved (See D.C. Official Code § 34-604(b)).
141.2 The parties shall identify with specificity in the application for reconsideration or modification error(s) of law or fact in the Commission’s final order that they seek to have corrected. The application for reconsideration or modification is not a vehicle for losing parties to rehash arguments earlier considered and rejected by the Commission where there exists no error of law or fact.
141.3Responses to applications for reconsideration or modification shall be filed with the Commission within five (5) business days after receipt of the application.
141.4The Commission may, in its discretion, permit or require oral argument or briefs or both upon application for reconsideration or modification. The Commission shall proceed to hear and determine the reconsideration application as expeditiously as practicable.
141.5The Commission shall, within thirty (30) days after the filing of the application, either grant or deny the application for reconsideration or modification. Failure by the Commission to act within that period shall be considered a denial of the, application. An application for reconsideration filed pursuant to this section will be given priority and acted upon by the Commission as expeditiously as practicable.
141.6If the Commission determines that more time is needed to address the issues in the application for reconsideration or modification and any responses thereto, the Commission may issue a tolling order extending the deadline for reconsideration or modification by no more than ten (10) days.
141.7If the application for reconsideration or modification is granted, the Commission shall, after notice to all parties, either with or without a hearing, rescind, modify, clarify or affirm its order or decision.
141.8The filing of an application for reconsideration or modification shall act as a stay upon the execution of the order or decision of the Commission until the final action of the Commission upon the application for reconsideration or modification; provided, that upon written consent of the affected utility such order or decision shall not be stayed unless otherwise ordered by the Commission.
141.9Any application for reconsideration or modification filed on the thirtieth (30th) day after the publication of the order or decision which the application seeks to have reconsidered or modified, shall be filed on or before the close of business of that day.
