Each exception shall specify the portion of the record and authorities relied on to sustain each point. Within fifteen days after receipt of a copy of a party's exceptions and request for review, any party may file with the board a response to the exceptions and request for review. In addition, a copy of the exceptions and request for review, and response, shall be served upon each of the parties who were served with a copy of the proposed decision.(b) Any party may apply for an extension of time within which to file exceptions to the proposed decision, or response, by filing a written application setting forth the reasons for the request. The application shall be filed before the respective expiration of the period prescribed for the filing of exceptions or response. Upon good cause shown, the board, any member of the board, or the executive director on behalf of the system, may extend the time for filing exceptions or response, for an additional period not to exceed fifteen days after the applying party's receipt of the extension of time within which to file exceptions or response.(c) If no exceptions and request for review are filed within the time specified, the proposed decision shall become final, unless the board on its own motion orders further proceedings to be held.
