(1) The decision of the Administrative Law Judge shall be based
exclusively on competent evidence and other material introduced pursuant to
this Chapter. It shall specify the reason for the decision and identify the
supporting evidence and regulations, and include findings of fact and
conclusions of law.

the Department within ninety (90) days from the Department's timely receipt of
a hearing request conforming to the requirements of Rule 350-4-.05, and within
thirty (30) days from the close of the Record. However, if, in the
Administrative Law Judge's discretion, the complexities of the issues, the
length of the case record, scheduling difficulties, agreement of the parties,
or any other consideration justifies an extension of time, the Administrative
Law Judge may extend the time in which an initial decision must be rendered;
provided, however, that such extension shall not exceed ninety (90) days from
the close of the Record.
(3) The Department shall, upon receipt of the Administrative
Law Judge's decision, furnish a copy thereof to each party by Certified Mail,
accompanied by a cover Notice informing each party of its appeal rights.

to the public, subject to requirements for safeguarding confidential
