            Subpart A_General Rules of Practice and Procedure

 

Sec. 1.46  Motions for extension of time.



    (a) It is the policy of the Commission that extensions of time shall 

not be routinely granted.

    (b) Motions for extension of time in which to file responses to 

petitions for rulemaking, replies to such responses, comments filed in 

response to notice of proposed rulemaking, replies to such comments and 

other filings in rulemaking proceedings conducted under Subpart C of 

this part shall be filed at least 7 days before the filing date. If a 

timely motion is denied, the responses and comments, replies thereto, or 

other filings need not be filed until 2 business days after the 

Commission acts on the motion. In emergency situations, the Commission 

will consider a late-filed motion for a brief extension of time related 

to the duration of the emergency and will consider motions for 

acceptance of comments, reply comments or other filings made after the 

filing date.

    (c) If a motion for extension of time in which to make filings in 

proceedings other than notice and comment rule making proceedings is 

filed less than 7 days prior to the filing day, the party filing the 

motion shall (in addition to serving the motion on other parties) orally 

notify other parties and Commission staff personnel responsible for 

acting on the motion that the motion has been (or is being) filed.
