    (a) The administrative law judge shall give the parties to the 
proceeding adequate opportunity during the course of the hearing for the 
presentation of arguments in support of or in opposition to motions, and 
objections and exceptions to rulings of the administrative law judge.
    (b) When, in the opinion of the administrative law judge, the volume 
of the evidence or the importance or complexity of the issues involved 
warrants, he or she may, either on his or her own motion or at the 
request of a party, permit the presentation of oral argument, and may

appropriate. Such argument shall be transcribed and bound with the
