(a) The case in support of the complaint
shall be presented at a public hearing under section 9(e) of the act
(43 P. S. §
959(e)) by a
staff counsel or agent of the Commission, by the complainant's attorney or by a
designated agent of the complainant.
(b) An attorney or designated agent of
complainant, who intends to present the case in support of the complaint at a
public hearing under section 9(e) of the act, shall file a Notice of Intent and
a Certificate of Authority in the form specified in subsections (d) and
(e).
(c) The filing of a Notice of
Intent and a Certificate of Authority will relieve the Commission of its duty
to provide a staff counsel or agent of the Commission to present the case in
support of the complaint. A Notice of Intent and a Certificate of Authority may
be withdrawn and new ones substituted at any time. For good cause shown, and
where the policies of the act will be effectuated thereby, the Commission may
by order allow a Notice of Intent to be withdrawn, without substitution, and
the Commission's duty to present the case to be reinstated.
(d) The Notice of Intent shall be in
substantially the following form:
