NAC634A.260. Classification of parties.

     1. A party to a proceeding before the Board must be styled an applicant, petitioner, complainant, respondent, intervener or interested party according to the nature of the proceeding and the relationship of the party thereto.

     2. Persons applying or petitioning for any right or authority from the Board must be styled the “applicants.”

     3. Persons petitioning for affirmative relief (other than complainants) must be styled the “petitioners.”

     4. Persons who complain to the Board of any act or of any persons must be styled the “complainants.” In any proceeding which the Board brings on its own motion, it will be styled the “complainant.”

     5. Persons against whom any complaint is filed or investigation initiated must be styled the “respondents.”

     6. Persons, other than the original parties to the proceeding, who may be directly and substantially affected by the proceeding, must, upon securing an order from the Board or the presiding officer granting leave to intervene, be styled the “interveners.” The granting of leave to intervene, or otherwise appear, in any matter or proceeding is not a finding or determination of the Board that the party will or may be a party aggrieved by any ruling, order or decision of the Board, for the purposes of court review or appeal.

     7. Persons who believe they may be affected by a proceeding, but who do not seek to participate in the proceeding, must be styled the “interested parties.”
