Sec. 76.8 Status conference.
(a) In any proceeding subject to the part 76 rules, the Commission staff may
in its discretion direct the attorneys and/or the parties to appear for a
conference to consider:
(1) Simplification or narrowing of the issues;
(2) The necessity for or desirability of amendments to the pleadings,
additional pleadings, or other evidentiary submissions;
(3) Obtaining admissions of fact or stipulations between the parties as to
any or all of the matters in controversy;
(4) Settlement of the matters in controversy by agreement of the parties;
(5) The necessity for and extent of discovery, including objections to
interrogatories or requests for written documents;
(6) The need and schedule for filing briefs, and the date for any further
conferences; and
(7) Such other matters that may aid in the disposition of the proceeding.
(b) Any party may request that a conference be held at any time after an
initiating document has been filed.
(c) Conferences will be scheduled by the Commission at such time and place
as it may designate, to be conducted in person or by telephone conference
call.
(d) The failure of any attorney or party, following advance notice with an
opportunity to be present, to appear at a scheduled conference will be
deemed a waiver and will not preclude the Commission from conferring with
those parties or counsel present.
(e) During a status conference, the Commission staff may issue oral rulings
pertaining to a variety of matters relevant to the conduct of the proceeding
including, inter alia, procedural matters, discovery, and the submission of
briefs or other evidentiary materials. These rulings will be promptly
memorialized in writing and served on the parties. When such rulings require
a party to take affirmative action not subject to deadlines established by
another provision of this subpart, such action will be required within ten
(10) days from the date of the written memorialization unless otherwise
directed by the staff.
