Comments shall be limited to five pages in length, plus an appendix setting forth proposed findings and ordering paragraphs. Comments shall focus on factual, legal, or technical errors in the proposed resolution.

Late-submitted comments will ordinarily be rejected. However, in extraordinary circumstances, a request for leave to submit comments late may be filed together with the proposed comments.
