No party petitioned for review of the ID, the Commission declined to review it, and it therefore became the determination of the Commission. The hearing, which had been scheduled to commence on June 22, 2005, could not be held as scheduled. The ALJ issued Order No. 15 on July 27, 2005, rescheduling the hearing for October 5, 2005. On August 10, 2005, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 6) extending the target date for completion of the investigation until June 14, 2006. No party petitioned for review of the ID and the Commission has determined not to review the ID, permitting it to become the determination of the Commission.
