(a) When an applicant in a proceeding is unable, after due diligence, to identify the address of any person who is required to be notified of an application, complaint, or hearing, the applicant must publish notice of the application, complaint, or hearing.

(1) Unless otherwise directed by the appropriate director or examiner, the applicant shall publish the Commission's notice of application or notice of hearing in a newspaper of general circulation in the county or counties where the land or facility that is the subject of the application or hearing is located. The applicant shall publish such notice once per week for four consecutive weeks. The first publication shall be published at least 28 days before the protest deadline in a notice of application or the hearing date in a notice of hearing.

(2) The applicant must file proof of publication in the form of a publisher's affidavit or present at a hearing a copy of the newspaper notice along with testimony by a person with personal knowledge of the publication details.

(b) In determining whether notice by publication is appropriate, the examiner may consider whether an applicant used due diligence in attempting to identify the address of any person who is required to be notified of an application, complaint, or hearing.
