Generally, the party seeking affirmative relief shall have
the burden of proof. An examiner may reassign the burden of proof
and shall serve copies of the decision on all parties. In reassigning
the burden of proof, the examiner may consider:
(1) the classification of the parties;
(2) the parties' access to information pertinent to
the merits of the case;
(3) the party seeking affirmative relief;
(4) the party seeking to change the status quo;
(5) whether a party would be required to prove a negative;
and
(6) the nature of the relief that is requested.
