(2) The parties' briefing may address the following:

(A) Whether the facts stated in the proposed decision are consistent with the evidence presented;

(B) Whether the proposed decision contains an accurate statement and/or application of the law; and

(C) Whether additional evidence exists that could not, with reasonable diligence, have been discovered and presented at the administrative hearing.

(3) The Attorney General may in the Attorney General's discretion upon a showing of good cause, extend the time requirements set forth herein unless irreparable harm would result from granting such an extension.
