Sec. 68.21  Admissions.

    (a) A party may serve upon any other party a written request for the 
admission, for purposes of the pending action only, of the genuineness 
and authenticity of any relevant document described in or attached to 
the request, or for the admission of the truth of any specified relevant 
matter of fact.
    (b) Each matter of which an admission is requested is admitted 
unless, within thirty (30) days after service of the request or such 
shorter or longer time as the Administrative Law Judge may allow, the 
party to whom the request is directed serves on the requesting party:
    (1) A written statement denying specifically the relevant matters of 
which an admission is requested;
    (2) A written statement setting forth in detail the reasons why he/
she can neither truthfully admit nor deny them; or
    (3) Written objections on the ground that some or all of the matters 
involved are privileged or irrelevant or that the request is otherwise 
improper in whole or in part.
    (c) An answering party may not give lack of information or knowledge 
as a reason for failure to admit or deny unless the party states that 
he/she has made reasonable inquiry and that the information known or 
readily obtainable by him/her is insufficient to enable the party to 
admit or deny.
    (d) Any matter admitted under this section is conclusively 
established unless the Administrative Law Judge upon motion permits 
withdrawal or amendment of the admission.
    (e) A copy of each request for admission and each written response 
shall be served on all parties.
