EXCEPTIONS TO PROPOSED REPORTS


§ 35.211. Procedure to except to proposed report.

 A participant desiring to appeal to the agency head shall, within 30 days after the service of a copy of a proposed report or such other time as may be fixed by the agency head, file exceptions to the proposed report or part thereof in a brief (designated ‘‘brief on exceptions’’). ‘‘Briefs opposing exceptions’’ may be filed in response to briefs on exceptions within 20 days after the time limited for the filing of briefs on exceptions or such other time as may be fixed by the agency head. No further response will be entertained unless the agency head, with or without motion, so orders.

Notes of Decisions

    Waiver

   After the Secretary of an agency circulated a copy of the Proposed Report and Recommended Order and advised counsel for the agency that exceptions could be filed within 30 days, and after no exceptions were filed, such inaction constituted a waiver of objections to the Proposed Report and the Proposed Report was deemed a final order by operation of law. Earth Share v. Office of Administration, 660 A.2d 138 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1995).

   Brief on exceptions, although delivered to counsel for Department of Transportation within 30 days, was not filed with the administrative docket clerk until 31 days after the hearing examiner’s proposed report was mailed, therefore, applicant’s exceptions were irrevocably waived. J. B. Steven, Inc. v. Department of Transportation, 627 A.2d 278 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1993).
