ENERGY )
On March 28,2025,the Idaho Irrigation Pumpers Association("IIPA") filed a late petition
to intervene in the proceeding. No one opposed IIPA's petition. Having reviewed the record, we
conditionally grant IIPA's petition as follows.
FINDINGS
Commission Order No. 36476 set a March 17, 2025, deadline for petitions to intervene.
IIPA filed its petition to intervene on March 28, 2025. IIPA's petition is, therefore, untimely.
Untimely petitions to intervene are governed by Rules 71-75, IDAPA 31.01.01.071-.075.
Based on the record, we find that IIPA has shown good cause for the untimely filing, and that it
has a direct and substantial interest in this proceeding and will not unduly broaden the issues. We
thus find it reasonable to grant IIPA's untimely petition to intervene on the condition that IIPA not
delay, disrupt, or unduly broaden the issues in this proceeding. We note that, per Rule 73, IIPA is
bound by all prior orders and notices issued in the case.
ORDER
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that IIPA's petition to intervene is granted on the
conditions specified above.
