When acting to carry out its statutory authority in matters that are not "contested cases," as defined in 52:14B-2(b), the Commission shall provide written notice to all interested parties informing them of the issues to be considered and the date upon which it is anticipated that the Commission will act. This notice shall be sent by the Commission, to the extent possible, at least 30 days prior to the anticipated date of action unless unforseen or exigent circumstances necessitate otherwise. "Interested parties" shall be those persons or entities that are identified by statute and given the express authority to submit applications, comments or other information to the Commission for its consideration before or when reaching a decision at a scheduled meeting.
