Sec.  9008.15  Extensions of time.

    (a) It is the policy of the Commission that extensions of time under 
11 CFR part 9008 will not be routinely granted.
    (b) Whenever a committee has a right or is required to take action 
within a period of time prescribed by 11 CFR part 9008 or by notice 
given thereunder, the committee may apply in writing to the Commission 
for an extension of time in which to exercise such right or take such 
action. The committee shall demonstrate in the application for extension 
that good cause exists for its request.
    (c) An application for extension of time shall be made at least 7 
calendar days prior to the expiration of the time period for which the 
extension is sought. The Commission may, upon a showing of good cause, 
grant an extension of time to a committee that has applied for such 
extension in a timely

manner. The length of time of any extension granted hereunder shall be 
decided by the Commission and may be less than the amount of time sought 
by the committee in its application.
    (d) If a committee fails to seek an extension of time, exercise a 
right or take a required action prior to the expiration of a time period 
prescribed by 11 CFR part 9008, the Commission may, on the committee's 
showing of excusable neglect:
    (1) Permit such committee to exercise its right(s), or take such 
required action(s) after the expiration of the prescribed time period; 
and
    (2) Take into consideration any information obtained in connection 
with the exercise of any such right or taking of any such action before 
making decisions or determinations under 11 CFR part 9008.
