    (a) Scope. Any party may serve on any other party a request:
    (1) To produce and permit the party making the request, or someone 
acting on his behalf, to inspect and copy any designated documents 
(including writings, drawings, graphs, charts, photographs, and other 
data compilations from which information can be obtained), or to inspect 
and copy, test, or sample any tangible things that are in the 
possession, custody, or control of the party upon whom the request is 
served; or
    (2) To permit entry upon designated land or other property in the 
possession or control of the party upon whom the request is served for 
the purpose of inspecting and measuring, surveying, photographing, 
testing, or sampling the property or any designated object or operation 
thereon, within the scope of Sec.  210.27(b).
    (b) Procedure. (1) The request may be served upon any party after 
the date of publication in the Federal Register of the notice of 
investigation. The request shall set forth the items to be inspected, 
either by individual item or by category, and describe each item and 
category with reasonable particularity. The request shall specify a 
reasonable time, place, and manner of making the inspection and 
performing the related acts.
    (2) The party upon whom the request is served shall serve a written 
response within the time specified by the administrative law judge. The 
response shall state, with respect to each item or category, that 
inspection and related activities will be permitted as requested, unless 
the request is objected to, in

which event the reasons for objection shall be stated. If objection is 
made to part of any item or category, the part shall be specified. The 
party submitting the request may move for an order under Sec.  210.33(a) 
with respect to any objection to or other failure to respond to the 
request or any part thereof, or any failure to permit inspection as 
requested. A party who produces documents for inspection shall produce 
them as they are kept in the usual course of business or shall organize 
and label them to correspond to the categories in the request.
    (c) Persons not parties. This section does not preclude issuance of 
an order against a person not a party to permit entry upon land.
