Section 1001.13. Issuance of Authority orders

(a) In computing a period of time involving the date of the issuance of an order by the Authority, the day of issuance of an order will be the date the Clerk enters the order. An order will not be made public prior to its entry except when, in the Authority’s judgment, the public interest so requires. The date of entry of an order may or may not be the day of its adoption by the Authority. The Clerk will clearly indicate on each order the date of its adoption by the Authority and the date of its entry.

(b) An order of a presiding officer will contain notice of the date the order will become effective as an adjudication of the Authority, in the absence of Authority review as provided in § 1005.213 (relating to final orders and effect of failure to file exceptions).

(c) The date of entry of an order which is subject to review by Commonwealth Court is governed by Pa.R.A.P. No. 108 (relating to date of entry of orders). The date of issuance of any other order shall be deemed to be the date of entry for the purposes of computing the time for appeal under an applicable statute relating to judicial review of Authority action.

(d) Subsections (a)—(c) supersede 1 Pa. Code § 31.13 (relating to issuance of agency orders).
