Sec. 76.8  Dismissal of special relief petitions.

    (a) A petition for special relief may, upon request of the 
petitioner, be dismissed without prejudice as a matter of right prior to 
the adoption date of any final action taken by the Commission with 
respect to the petition. A petitioner's request for the return of a 
petition will be regarded as a request for dismissal.
    (b) Failure to prosecute a petition, or failure to respond to 
official correspondence or request for additional information, will be 
cause for dismissal. Such dismissal will be without prejudice if it 
occurs prior to the adoption date of any final action taken by the 
Commission with respect to the petition.
