Sec. 148.263  Intervention.

    (a) Any person may file a petition to intervene in a formal hearing, 
and any adjacent coastal state may intervene by filing a notice of 
intervention. The petition must be addressed to the administrative law 
judge, must identify the specific matters in the hearing on which he 
seeks to intervene and his interest in those matters, and must designate 
the name and address of a person upon whom service may be made if the 
petition is granted. A party to the formal hearing may file an answer to 
a petition within five days after the petition is filed.
    (b) A petition to intervene must be filed within ten days after 
notice of formal hearing is issued.
    (c) Intervention may be limited to particular matters or to 
particular times in the hearing if necessary to prevent repetitious 
evidence and argument or to control the course of the formal hearing.
    (d) If the administrative law judge denies a petition in whole or 
part, the petitioner may appeal to the Commandant by filing notice of 
appeal within seven days after the denial is issued. A brief may be 
filed with the notice of appeal. A party may file a brief in support of 
or in opposition to the appeal within seven days after the notice of 
appeal is filed.
