Summary

Hearings under these rules must be held in Washington, D.C., and must be officially recorded. The hearing date must be set at least 30 days and no more than 60 days after the notice of charges or penalty, unless the hearing officer agrees to a different date because the company asked for it. The hearing must follow the procedures in chapter 5 of Title 5. If the company does not show up with an authorized representative, it is treated as agreeing to the cease-and-desist order or penalty. After the hearing, the Director must issue a decision with written findings within 90 days after telling the company the case was sent to the Director. Court review is only allowed under section 4583. If no timely appeal is filed and the official record has not yet been filed, the Director may change or cancel the order at any time with proper notice. Once the record is filed, the Director can only change the order with the court’s permission.
