Section 096-40-12 - Time Extension of Time Within Which to Comply with Orders

A. Generally. In computing any period of time prescribed by statute or by these rules, Rules 6(a) and 6(e) of the Maine Rules of Civil Procedure shall apply. When by these rules or by law or order of the Board an act is required or allowed to be done at or within a specified time, the Board may for cause shown at any time within its discretion order the period enlarged if petition therefor is made before the expiration of the period originally prescribed; or upon petition made after the expiration of the period originally prescribed, where the failure to act was the result of excusable neglect.

B. Petitions for Extensions of Time Within Which to Comply with Orders. Any person affected by an order of the Board issued under these regulations may petition the Board for an extension of time within which to comply with the terms of such order. Such petition may be made no earlier than sixty (60) days before compliance with such order is required. Such a petition shall contain a concise statement by the petitioner of the facts which he believes warrant an extension; shall include, where appropriate, affidavits of engineers and contractors, engineering drawings and other material which will aid the Board in acting upon the petition, and shall state a definite date to which extension is desired.
