Extension of time to file written argument

(a) The Board lacks authority to waive or extend the statutory time limits for the filing of appeals or motions to the Board, and is furthermore obligated to adjudicate appeals promptly. However, after an appeal, motion, request or similar correspondence is timely filed to the Board, and before a decision upon such appeal, motion, request or correspondence is issued, the Board, on its own initiative, or upon the request from a party to such proceeding or the attorney or authorized agent for such party, may grant a limited extension of time in which to file further written argument on such appeal, motion, request or correspondence if the Board determines that good cause exists for granting such extension. Such requests need not be in writing, but shall explain all reasons alleged for the request and should state the proposed limit for the time extension requested. The decision on such request shall be recorded in the file record but need not otherwise be in writing. (b) In the event that an extension request filed pursuant to subsection (a) above is granted, the party involved shall file such written argument in accordance with the provisions of Section 31-237g-10(a) of these regulations. (c) Any request to supplement the record shall be governed by Section 31-237g-40(e) of these regulations.
