OAR 137-004-0080: Reconsideration — Orders in Other than Contested Case

(1) A person entitled to judicial review under ORS 183.484 of a final order in other than a contested case may file a petition for reconsideration of a final order in other than a contested case with the agency within 60 calendar days after the date of the order. A copy of the petition shall also be delivered or mailed to all other persons and agencies required by statute or rule to be notified. (2) The petition shall set forth the specific grounds for reconsidera-tion. The petition may be supported by a written argument. (3) The petition may include a request for a stay of a final order if the petition complies with the requirements of OAR 137-003-0090(2). (4) The petition may be granted or denied by summary order, and, if no action is taken, shall be deemed denied as provided by ORS 183.484(2). (5) Within 60 calendar days after the date of the order, the agency may, on its own initiative, reconsider the final order. If a petition for judicial review has been filed, the agency must follow the procedures set forth in ORS 183.484(4) before taking further action on the order. The procedural and substantive effect of granting reconsideration under this subsection shall be identical to the effect of granting a party’s petition for reconsideration. (6) Reconsideration shall not be granted after the filing of a petition for judicial review, unless permitted by the court. (7) A final order remains in effect during reconsideration until stayed or changed. (8) Following reconsideration, the agency shall enter a new order, which may be an order affirming the existing order.
