(2) To determine if there is good cause, the administrative law judge may consider the provisions of Superior Court Civil Rule 60 as a guideline. Good cause may include, but is not limited to, the following examples:

(a) The party who requested the hearing ignored a notice because he or she was in the hospital or was otherwise prevented from responding; or

(b) The party who requested the hearing could not respond to the notice because it was written in a language that he or she did not understand.

(3) The requestor bears the burden to show why a request should be granted or an action excused.
