Kan. Admin. Regs. § 82-4-65 - Protestants

Each protest against the granting of a permit, certificate, extension, or transfer shall be considered as follows:

(a) Any interested person who believes that the public will be adversely affected by a proposed application may file a written protest. The protest shall identify the name and address of the protestant and the title and docket number of the proceeding. The protest shall include specific allegations as to how the applicant is not fit, willing, and able, or fit, knowledgeable, and in compliance with the commission safety regulations, to perform these services or how the proposed services are otherwise inconsistent with the public convenience and necessity.

(b) If the protestant opposes only a portion of the proposed application, the protestant shall state with specificity the objectionable portion.

(c) The protest shall be filed in triplicate with the commission within 10 days after publication of the notice in the Kansas register. Failure to file a timely protest shall preclude the interested person from appearing as a protestant.

(d) Each protestant shall serve the protest upon the applicant when or before the protestant files the protest with the commission. The protest shall not be served on the applicant by the commission.

(e) To secure consideration of a protest, the protestant or intervenor shall offer evidence or a statement or shall participate in the hearing.
