 PART 68--RULES OF PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE FOR ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS BEFORE ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGES IN CASES INVOLVING ALLEGATIONS OF UNLAWFUL EMPLOYMENT OF 
ALIENS, UNFAIR IMMIGRATION-RELATED EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES, AND DOCUMENT FRAUD--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 68.19  Written interrogatories to parties.

    (a) Any party may serve upon any other party written interrogatories 
to be answered in writing by the party served, or if the party served is 
a public or private corporation or a partnership or association or 
governmental agency, by any authorized officer or agent, who shall 
furnish such information as is available to the party. A copy of the 
interrogatories shall be served on all parties to the proceeding.
    (b) Each interrogatory shall be answered separately and fully in 
writing under oath or affirmation, unless it is objected to, in which 
event the reasons of objection shall be stated in lieu of an answer. The 
answers and objections shall be signed by the person making them. The 
party upon whom the interrogatories were served shall serve a copy of 
the answer or objections upon all parties to the proceeding within 
thirty (30) days after service of the interrogatories, or within such 
shorter or longer period as the Administrative Law Judge upon motion may 
allow.
    (c) An interrogatory otherwise proper is not necessarily 
objectionable merely because an answer to the interrogatory involves an 
opinion or contention that relates to fact or the application of law to 
fact, but the Administrative Law Judge may upon motion order that such 
an interrogatory need not be answered until after designated discovery 
has been completed or until a prehearing conference or other later time.
    (d) A person or entity upon whom interrogatories are served may 
respond by the submission of business records, indicating to which 
interrogatory the documents respond, if they are sufficient to answer 
said interrogatories.
