§ 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.
