Sec. 207.8  Questionnaires to have the force of subpoenas; subpoena enforcement.

    Any questionnaire issued by the Commission in connection with any 
investigation under title VII of the Act may be issued as a subpoena and 
subscribed by a Commissioner, after which it shall have the force and 
effect of a subpoena authorized by the Commission. Whenever any party or 
any other person fails to respond adequately to such a subpoena or 
whenever a party or any other person refuses or is unable to produce 
information requested in a timely manner and in the form required, or 
otherwise significantly impedes an investigation, the Commission may:
    (a) Use the facts otherwise available in making its determination;
    (b) Seek judicial enforcement of the subpoena pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 
1333;
    (c) Make inferences adverse to such person's position, if such 
person is an interested party that has failed to cooperate by not acting 
to the best of its ability to comply with a request for information; and
    (d) Take such other actions as necessary to obtain needed 
information.
