Consumers Energy Company; Notice of Petition for Rate Approval, 68871-68872 [E7-23624]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 234 / Thursday, December 6, 2007 / Notices the amendment application on June 8, 2005, and published notice in the Federal Register on June 15, 2005.3 Movant therefore was on notice of licensee’s application, but failed to timely respond to it.4 Allowing late intervention at this point in the proceedings would create prejudice and additional burdens on the Commission and its applicants. The Commission expects parties to intervene in a timely manner based on the reasonably foreseeable issues arising from the applicant’s filings and the Commission’s notice of proceedings.5 The Commission has held that the party bears the responsibility for determining when a proceeding is relevant to its interests, such that it should file a motion to intervene. When a party fails to intervene in a timely fashion, the party assumes the risk that the case will be settled in a manner that is not to its liking.6 The Commission has previously explained that an entity cannot ‘‘sleep on its rights’’ and then seek untimely intervention.7 Therefore, Friends of the River’s argument that it would not have known of its actual need to become a party in the proceeding until the Commission issued its environmental determinations in the EA is without merit. Movant has failed to demonstrate good cause standard for granting late intervention. The motion for late intervention in these proceedings filed by movant is therefore denied. This notice constitutes final agency action. Requests for rehearing by the Commission of this rejection must be filed within 30 days of the date of issuance of this notice, pursuant to 18 CFR 385.713 (2007). Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary.
