Sec. 16.209  Extension of time.

    (a) Extension by oral agreement. The parties may agree to extend for 
a reasonable period of time for filing a document under this part. If 
the parties agree, the hearing officer shall grant one extension of time 
to each party. The party seeking the extension of time shall submit a 
draft order to the hearing officer to be signed by the hearing officer 
and filed with the hearing docket. The hearing officer may grant 
additional oral requests for an extension of time where the parties 
agree to the extension.
    (b) Extension by motion. A party shall file a written motion for an 
extension of time with the hearing officer not later than 7 days before 
the document is due unless good cause for the late filing is shown. A 
party filing a written motion for an extension of time shall serve a 
copy of the motion on each party.
    (c) Failure to rule. If the hearing officer fails to rule on a 
written motion for an extension of time by the date the document was 
due, the motion for an extension of time is deemed denied.
    (d) Effect on time limits. In a hearing required by section 519(b) 
of the Airport and Airways Improvement Act, as

amended in 1987, 49 U.S.C. 47106(e) and 47111(d), the due date for the 
hearing officer's initial decision and for the final agency decision are 
extended by the length of the extension granted by the hearing officer 
only if the hearing officer grants an extension of time as a result of 
an agreement by the parties as specified in paragraph (a) of this 
section or, if the hearing officer grants an extension of time as a 
result of the sponsor's failure to adhere to the hearing schedule. In 
any other hearing, an extension of time granted by the hearing officer 
for any reason extends the due date for the hearing officer's initial 
decision and for the final agency decision by the length of time of the 
hearing officer's decision.
