(1)Emergency Orders. The Commission may, on request, and upon a finding that urgent and immediate public need requires emergency temporary action, issue orders granting emergency temporary relief in other than household goods carrier authority or enforcement cases. The Commission shall promptly post notice of any such request at a prominent location at the Commission offices in Springfield and Chicago, and where action affecting a specific named person is requested shall promptly notify the person by telephone or telegram. Such orders may be issued without hearing and shall remain in effect pending notice and hearing in accordance with subsection

(1)of Section 18c-2101 of this Chapter, but shall not remain in effect for a period exceeding 45 days from issuance, and shall not be renewed or extended. Any person in opposition to such relief shall be entitled, on request, to an oral hearing on the request for emergency temporary relief. The filing or granting of such request for oral hearing shall not, unless the Commission so provides, stay the issuance or effect of any emergency temporary order under this subsection.

(2)Interim Orders. The Commission may, on request, issue interim orders making temporary disposition of issues in a proceeding, other than a household goods carrier authority or enforcement proceeding, after notice and hearing on written submissions. Such orders shall remain in effect pending final disposition in accordance with Section 18c-2102 of this Chapter unless otherwise provided in the interim order or the interim order is modified or rescinded by the Commission. Any person in opposition to such relief shall be entitled, on request, to an oral hearing on the request for temporary relief. The filing or granting of such a request for oral hearing shall not, unless the Commission so provides, stay the issuance or effect of any interim order under this subsection. A request for oral hearing on a request for temporary relief shall, unless otherwise specified by the party making the request for oral hearing, be construed as a request for oral hearing on the application for permanent relief as well.

(3)Final orders. Any party to a proceeding before the Commission shall be entitled, on timely written request, to an oral hearing prior to issuance of a final order in the proceeding. Where the Commission has issued an interim order and no timely request for oral hearing has been filed or is pending, the Commission may issue a final order without oral hearing, except in household goods carrier authority proceedings.

(4)Section not applicable to household goods carrier authority proceedings. Nothing in this Section shall have application to any household goods carrier authority proceeding.
