142 Neb. Admin. Code, ch. 2, § 003
The Respondent shall file with the Commission a written response to the charge within thirty (30) days after service of the charge upon the Respondent. The Respondent shall file a written response to new allegations contained in an amended charge within thirty (30) days after service of the amended charge upon the Respondent. The response shall respond in full to each specific allegation contained in the charge affidavit. The Commission may reject and refuse to file any response which does not respond in full to each specific allegation in the charge affidavit. Prior to rejecting a response, the Commission shall notify the Respondent in writing that the response is deficient and which allegations are incomplete.
Failure to file a full written response to a charge or an amended charge within thirty (30) days, except upon good cause shown, shall result in a reasonable cause finding against the Respondent by the Commission. If a Respondent believes it has good cause for failing to file a response within thirty (30) days, the Respondent shall make a request for extension of time to the office of the Commission. Such request must be filed within the original thirty (30) day time period. Good cause shall be determined on a case-by-case basis, in light of all the surrounding facts. No extension of time will be granted for a period beyond sixty (60) days from the date of service of the charge upon the Respondent.
