The Rules for Standing provided a deadline of September 6, 2019 to submit for Participant Standing. However, the Commissioner has the discretion to extend that deadline, and anyone seeking to apply for participant status after that date is encouraged to apply in accordance with the Rules and to seek an extension of time. Those applications will all be carefully considered and determined on their merits.
