If a petition for reconsideration does not show good cause to reconsider the decision, the agency may deny the petition with or without a hearing. If a hearing is scheduled, the parties shall be limited to oral argument on the merits of the petition. The agency may grant reconsideration and review the matter on the same record or may schedule a hearing to take further evidence. The matter may be referred to a hearing officer, and if a hearing officer heard the case initially, he or she may be the same or a different hearing officer. If reconsideration is granted, the agency may affirm or modify its previous decision or enter a new and different decision on the record before it after reconsideration.
