Generally, parties commit to contribute to the development of a complete record in a proceeding by conducting discovery, submitting testimony, briefs,
or other formal written comments, and/or participating in evidentiary hearings, procedural conferences and other formal events conducted in the
permit application. (Non-parties participate in ORES proceedings by filing written comments, such as letters, in contrast to the formal petitions and other submission
filed by parties in response to ORES notices. Non-parties also participate by offering oral comments at public comment hearings held on
applications before ORES.)
Registered users who subscribe to the party list will receive information from parties involved in the permit application proceeding.
Subscribing to the party list does not automatically confer party status.
When you subscribe to the party list here, you will be provisionally added to the party list.
Persons seeking party status to participate in the issues determination procedure and any subsequent adjudicatory
hearing must also file a written petition explaining whether their request is for full party status or amicus status.
Formal party status is conferred upon the ruling of the ALJ.
For the required contents of petitions for full party status, see 16 NYCRR §1100-8.4(c)(1) and (2). For the required contents of a petition seeking amicus status,
see 16 NYCRR §1100-8.4(c)(1) and (3). Petitioners may also file written briefs in support of their petitions.
Deadlines and instructions for requesting party status for a specific permit application will be provided in the combined notice issued on the
permit application. The combined notice will be issued at the same time a draft permit on the application is issued.
Petitions for party status are subject to the right of other parties to object and subject to the determination of the ALJ.
