The Hearing Officer may allow brief opening and closing statements. The Petitioner has the first opportunity to present evidence or argument to support its position. Other parties and interested participants supporting the Petition will then proceed. Following the presentation of evidence in support of the Petition, any party or interested participant opposed to the relief sought in the Petition may produce evidence or argument to support its position. The Hearing Officer may change the order of testimony as needed to accommodate parties, interested participants, witnesses, the public or for other good cause.
