The Authority, in its discretion, may deny a petition for declaratory ruling for good cause. In such instance, the Authority will indicate in writing the reason(s) for refusing to issue the declaratory ruling. Good cause includes, but is not limited to, the following:
(c) The petitioner may withdraw the petition for a declaratory ruling, in writing, prior to the issuance of the declaratory ruling.
