30 days from issuance of the notice (i.e., April 28, 2018), which 
fell on a Saturday, thus the filing deadline was the close of 
business on Monday, April 30, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In determining whether to grant a late motion to intervene, the 
Commission may consider such factors as whether the movant had good

represented by other parties to the proceeding; and whether granting 
the intervention might result in disruption to the proceeding or 
prejudice to other parties.\3\ Movants for late intervention must,
