Sec. 179.78  Unavailability of presiding officer.

    If the presiding officer is unable to act for any reason, his or her 
powers with respect to the hearing will be assigned by the Chief 
Administrative Law Judge to another presiding officer. The substitution 
will not affect the hearing, i.e., the testimony of the witnesses will 
not be taken anew except as the new presiding officer may order upon the 
request of a party where the credibility of a witness is of particular 
importance.
