Basis and Purpose:
The revisions adopted in this rulemaking proceeding address several suggestions for improvements to the Procedural Rules that have come to the Commission's attention since the last revisions of this regulation in 1994.
Section 2.1.6 has been revised to conform with separate but parallel revisions recently adopted to the Regulations for the Site Application Process, 2.2.0.
The prehearing procedures for adjudicatory hearings in section 2.1.4 have been revised to more closely conform with the procedures used in the last several adjudicatory hearing proceedings.
Section 2.1.4 , regarding the conduct of adjudicatory hearings, has been revised to conform with the most recent version of the Colorado Administrative Procedures Act.
In addition, several typographical errors in the regulation have been corrected and references to the Colorado Revised Statutes have been put into a consistent form.
