Universal Citation: 7 PA Code ยง 189.16
Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024
(a) This subsection pertains exclusively to intervention in a petition for the relocation of an existing nonprimary facility or the reopening of a previously operational nonprimary location under this section and is not applicable to other hearings before the Commission. The right to intervene in a hearing under this section is within the sole discretion of the Commission.
(1) A person
wishing to intervene in the matter before the Commission shall file a petition
to intervene in accordance with this subsection.
(2) A person may file a petition to intervene
under this subsection if the person has an interest in the proceeding which is
substantial, direct and immediate and if the interest is not adequately or
otherwise represented in the matter.
(3) Petitions to intervene in nonprimary
location matters shall be filed within 30 days from the date of published
notice by the Commission of the receipt of the nonprimary location
petition.
(4) Petitions to
intervene must set out clearly and concisely the facts demonstrating the nature
of the alleged right or interest of the petitioner, the grounds of the proposed
intervention, and the position of the petitioner in the proceeding. The
petitioner shall fully and completely advise the licensed racing entity and the
Commission of the specific issues of fact or law to be raised or controverted
and cite provisions or other authority relied upon.
(5) The licensed racing entity seeking the
relocation or reopening of the nonprimary location may file an Answer to a
Petition to Intervene, and in default thereof, will be deemed to have waived
any objection to the granting of the petition. If made, answers shall be filed
within 10 days after the date the petition to intervene is filed with the
Commission, unless for cause the Commission prescribes a different time. A
complete copy of the Answer to the Petition to intervene shall be served on the
Commission and the petitioner who seeks to intervene.
(6) Except when the Commission determines
that it is necessary to develop a comprehensive evidentiary record, the
participation of a person granted the right to intervene in the nonprimary
location matter will be limited to the presentation of evidence through the
submission of written statements attested to under oath. The written statements
shall be part of the evidentiary record.
(b) This section supersedes any conflicting provisions contained in the Commission's administrative regulations relating to practice and procedure and 1 Pa. Code Part II (relating to General Rules of Administrative Practice and Procedure).
