The Executive Director may contact the party to obtain additional information about the reasons for the default.

C. If the Executive Director finds that there is:

  (1) Good cause to excuse the default, the Executive Director may vacate the proposed default order, and return the case to the Office for further appropriate proceedings; or

  (2) Not good cause to excuse the default, the Executive Director shall deny the motion and issue a final default order terminating further proceedings.
