    (a) In general. Except as otherwise provided by law or by these 
rules, for good cause shown, the Commission or an Administrative Law 
Judge before whom a proceeding brought under Sec.  3.55, Sec.  3.56 or 
Sec.  3.60 is then pending, on their own motion or the motion of a 
party, may at any time extend or shorten the time limit prescribed by

that action.

prescribed for an action to be taken concerning any matter exceeds seven 
days from the date of the order establishing the time limit, requests 
for extension of time shall be filed at least five (5) days prior to the 
expiration of the time limit and shall explain why an extension of time 
is necessary.
