Article 69-02 - Practice and Procedure
Chapter 69-02-02 - Pleadings
Section 69-02-02-07 - Amendments and withdrawals

1. Amendments. The commission may, after notice to the other parties to a proceeding, allow any pleading to be amended and may permit any party affected by the amendment a reasonable time to prepare to meet the changed issues. If the amendment is to an application by a public utility for a rate increase based in whole or in part on the utility's revenue and profitability, and the amendment substantially changes the application, the change must be considered a new filing under North Dakota Century Code section 49-05-06.

2. Withdrawals. A participant desiring to withdraw a pleading filed with the commission may file a notice of withdrawal. The notice must set forth the reason for the withdrawal. A copy of the withdrawal notice must be served upon all other participants and a certificate of service to that effect must be filed with the notice of withdrawal. This section does not allow, without express permission of the commission, withdrawal of any pleading in any proceeding in which a hearing has been held or convened.
