Motion for rehearing filed on PSC ruling
The last day to file an application for rehearing in the case involving the Hempstead County power plant before the Arkansas Public Service Commission was today. The Intervenors filed a 65-page motion for rehearing shortly before Noon today.
The PSC can now grant or deny rehearing, abrogate or modify its original order, or it can even reopen the record for the purpose of receiving and considering additional evidence. If no action is taken within 30 days of today's date, the motion is deemed denied. The annotations to the statute setting out this procedure (Ark. Code Ann. §23-2-422) declare that the PSC's ruling should be set aside on judicial review only for the "clearest abuse of discretion."
