Section 17.9.540.15 - STATUS OF PROTESTANT DURING PROCEEDING
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
A. Unless the Commission or presiding officer directs otherwise the protestant or protestants who filed the protest shall be deemed parties to any proceeding to review the proposed rate or rates protested. Said protestants shall have the same status as intervenors and any reference to intervenors during the proceeding shall be deemed to include such protestants unless otherwise noted. These protestants need not file motions to intervene otherwise required by NMPSC Rule 110 [17.1.2 NMAC].
B. If more than one member filed the protest the Commission or the presiding officer may, to expedite the proceeding and avoid duplication, give intervenor status to fewer than all of the protestants and grant other intervenor status only upon a showing that their intervention will not be duplicative and will not unduly delay the proceeding.
