(a) A hearing officer may grant extensions of time for good cause beyond the time period specified in § 89.1185(l) of this title (relating to Hearing Procedures) at the request of either party. A hearing officer must not solicit extension requests, grant extensions on his or her own behalf, or unilaterally issue extensions for any reason. Any extension must be granted to a specific date, and the reason for the extension must be documented in a written order of the hearing officer and provided to each of the parties.

(b) A hearing officer may grant a request for an extension only after fully considering the cumulative impact of the following factors:

(1) whether the delay will positively contribute to, or adversely affect, the child's educational interest or well-being;

(2) the need of a party for additional time to prepare or present the party's position at the hearing;

(3) any adverse financial or other detrimental consequences likely to be suffered by a party in the event of delay; and

(4) whether there has already been a delay in the proceeding through the actions of one of the parties.
