1. (1) Upon timely application filed with the Commission, any person shall be permitted to intervene in any hearing to contest an administrative action when a statute confers an unconditional right to intervene, or when the applicant has an individual interest in the outcome of the hearing as distinguished from a public interest and the representation of the interest of the applicant by persons already made parties is inadequate.

2. (2) An application to intervene shall contain:

   1. (a) the name, mailing address, and telephone number of the applicant;
   2. (b) a concise statement identifying the administrative action being contested and, if possible, the name of the person who filed the request for a hearing to contest such action;
   3. (c) a concise statement of the grounds for the application, including reference to any statute which confers an unconditional right to intervene or a statement of the individual interest of the applicant in the outcome of the hearing, and a statement as to why the representation of the interest of the applicant by persons already parties in the hearing is inadequate; and
   4. (d) the name, mailing address, and telephone number of the applicant's attorney, if represented by an attorney.
3. (3) Within fifteen (15) days after the filing of an application to intervene in any hearing to contest an administrative action, the Secretary of the Commission shall serve a copy of such application upon each of the parties.
