Delegation of authority to decide certain matters.

(1) Delegation by order. Except as expressly provided in these rules, the commission will establish by order the matters it delegates to the executive secretary or other authorized commission personnel for decision.
(2) Effect. A decision made on delegated authority shall take effect immediately on entry of an order or letter or on a later date specified in the order or letter, without prior notice. The executive secretary may set any particular matter for commission decision through the open public meeting process, adjudicative or brief adjudicative proceeding, or other established commission process. Upon request, the commission will review the matter under subsection (4) of this section.
(3) Notice. The commission will notify the affected company and post on the commission's website for at least fourteen days a listing of all matters the executive secretary or other authorized personnel decided on delegated authority, showing the docket number, date of entry of decision, company name, and deadline for filing a request for commission review.
(4) Commission review. Except as provided in WAC 480-07-905, any person directly affected by a delegated determination may request commission review of that determination. The person must file that request no later than the fourteenth day after the date the commission serves the order and posts it on the commission's website. The commission will consider the request using the same process applicable to commission review of initial orders set forth in WAC 480-07-825.
