    (a) The presiding officer shall determine the admissibility of 
evidence.
    (b) Except as provided herein, the presiding officer shall not be 
bound by the Federal Rules of Evidence. However, the presiding officer 
may apply the Federal Rules of Evidence where appropriate, e.g., to 
exclude unreliable evidence.
    (c) The presiding officer shall exclude irrelevant and immaterial 
evidence.
    (d) Although relevant, evidence may be excluded if its probative 
value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, 
confusion of the issues, or by considerations of undue delay or needless 
presentation of cumulative evidence.
    (e) Although relevant, evidence may be excluded if it is privileged 
under Federal law.
    (f) Evidence concerning offers of compromise or settlement shall be 
inadmissible to the extent provided in Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of 
Evidence.
    (g) The presiding officer shall permit the parties to introduce 
rebuttal witnesses and evidence.
    (h) All documents and other evidence offered or taken for the record 
shall be open to examination by all parties, unless otherwise ordered by 
the presiding officer pursuant to Sec. 1264.123.
