Section 480-07-835. Clarification of final order by motion.

(1) Motion - when appropriate. Any party who does not seek to change the outcome with respect to an issue may file a motion for clarification of a final order within ten days after the order is served. The purpose of a motion for clarification is to ask for clarification of the meaning of an order so that compliance may be enhanced, so that any compliance filing may be accurately prepared and presented, to suggest technical changes that may be required to correct the application of principle to data, or to correct patent error without the need for parties to request reconsideration and without delaying post-order compliance. A motion for clarification may also request that obvious or ministerial errors in orders be corrected by letter from the secretary or by subsequent order, consistent with WAC 480-07-875.

(2) Motion - when not appropriate. If a party seeks to change an outcome with respect to one or more issues resolved by a final order, or challenge a finding of fact or conclusion of law stated in the order, it may not do so by motion for clarification, but must file a petition for reconsideration pursuant to WAC 480-07-850.

(3) Response. No party may file a response to a motion for clarification unless requested by the commission.

(4) Tolling. Filing a petition for clarification tolls the time for judicial review but does not toll the time for compliance with the final order of which clarification is sought.
