                          PUBLIC UTILITY REGULATION
                                  CHAPTER 6
                         PROCEDURE BEFORE COMMISSION
                                AND IN COURTS
    61-626.  RECONSIDERATION -- PROCEDURE -- ORDER NOT STAYED -- CHANGE OF
ORIGINAL ORDER. (1) After an order has been made by the commission, any
corporation, public utility or person interested therein shall have the right,
within twenty-one (21) days after the date of said order, to petition for
reconsideration in respect to any matter determined therein. Within seven (7)
days after any corporation, public utility or person has petitioned for
reconsideration, any other corporation, public utility, or person may
cross-petition for reconsideration in response to any issues raised in any
petition for reconsideration. Cross-petitions for reconsideration may be
granted if any petition for reconsideration to which they respond is granted
on the issues to which the cross-petition is directed, but cross-petitions for
reconsideration will be denied when the petitions for reconsideration to which
they are directed are denied.
    (2)  Within twenty-eight (28) days after the filing of a petition for
reconsideration the commission shall determine whether or not it will grant
such reconsideration, and make and enter its order accordingly. If
reconsideration be granted, said order shall specify how the matter will be
reconsidered and whether any cross-petitions for reconsideration will be
granted. The matter must be reheard, or written briefs, comments or
interrogatories must be filed, within thirteen (13) weeks after the date for
filing petitions for reconsideration. If reconsideration is ordered, the
commission must issue its order upon reconsideration within twenty-eight (28)
days after the matter is finally submitted for reconsideration.
    (3)  A petition for such reconsideration shall not excuse any corporation,
public utility or person from complying with or obeying any order or any
requirement of any order of the commission or operate in any manner, to stay
or postpone the enforcement thereof, except as the commission may by order
direct. If after reconsideration, including consideration of matters arising
since the making of the order, the commission shall be of the opinion that the
original order or any part thereof is in any respect unjust or unwarranted or
should be changed, the commission may abrogate or change the same. An order
made after any such reconsideration, abrogating or changing the original
order, shall have the same force and effect as an original order, and shall
not affect any right or the enforcement of any right arising from or by virtue
of the original order.
