NAC706.397. Pleadings: Protests.

     1. Any objection by a person, who is not a party of record, to an application, petition or other matter must be styled a “protest.”

     2. A written protest must legibly set forth a clear statement of the matter to which an objection is made.

     3. The Authority will make available a copy of a written protest to the parties against whom it is directed.

     4. Even if a hearing on a written protest is not required by law, the Authority will notify the parties of record and hold such a hearing if the public interest will be served.

     5. A protest at a hearing may be oral or written.

     6. At a hearing, the presiding officer shall allow any protestant to enter an appearance in the proceeding. A protestant who desires to participate as a party of record in a proceeding must file a written petition for leave to intervene unless the presiding officer upon good cause shown allows an oral petition for leave to intervene. A protestant is entitled to participate as a party of record only to the extent that leave to intervene is granted.
