(a) After notice to the parties and opportunity to be heard regarding the nature and complexity of the case, the Commission may, at its discretion, or if so requested by a party to the proceeding, refer, assign, or designate one or more hearing officers to preside over any unusually complex cases, unless otherwise provided by law.

(b) To the extent a specific section has not been amended in these rules, contested cases referred under this section shall be conducted pursuant to the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) Uniform Rules for Contested Case Practice and Procedure, Chapter 2, adopted by the Office of Administrative Hearing and in effect on July 20, 2017, and found at: https://rules.wyo.gov.

(c) The Commission has determined that the incorporation of the full text in the Office of Administrative Hearings Uniform Rules for Contested Case Practice and Procedure would be cumbersome or inefficient given the length and nature of the rule.

WOGCC Chapter 5, Section	OAH Chapter 2, Section
