Sec. 17.43  Posthearing briefs.

    Any party may file a posthearing brief. The presiding officer shall 
fix the time for filing such briefs (which shall be filed 
simultaneously), which shall not exceed 60 days from the date the 
parties received the transcript of the hearing or, if applicable, the 
stipulated record. Such briefs may be accompanied by proposed findings 
of fact and conclusions of law. The presiding officer may permit the 
parties to file responsive briefs. No brief may exceed 30 pages 
(exclusive of proposed findings and conclusions) unless the presiding 
officer has previously found that the issues in the proceeding are so 
complex, or the administrative record is so voluminous, as to justify 
longer briefs, in which case the presiding officer may set a longer page 
limit. Proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law shall not exceed 
30 pages unless the presiding officer has previously found that the 
issues in the proceeding are so complex, or the administrative record is 
so voluminous, as to justify longer proposed findings and conclusions, 
in which case the presiding officer may set a longer page limit.
