to be considered at a hearing on appeal, obtain rulings on the 
admissibility of evidence, develop stipulations of fact, establish the 
length of argument which will be permitted, or take other steps which 
will make the hearing itself more efficient and productive. With respect

for a prehearing conference must be made through: Director, Management

notice of the time and place of the hearing.
