Within fifteen (15) days after the date of the service of a final decision, a party may file a motion requesting that the Commission reconsider the final decision based on reasons of mistake, surprise, excusable neglect, newly discovered information, fraud or misrepresentation by an opposing party, or that the order has been satisfied. The moving party shall serve a copy of the motion on each party.
If a motion is based in whole or in part on new information, the information shall be set forth in an affidavit, containing a statement that the moving party could not with due diligence have known or have discovered the new information prior to the hearing.
The Commission may, in the Commission's discretion, permit or require oral argument upon a motion for reconsideration.
The Commission shall grant or deny a motion for reconsideration within forty-five (45) days after the filing of the motion. If the Commission does not grant the motion within the forty-five (45) day period, the motion shall be deemed denied.
