Sec. 501.704  Appearance and practice.

    No person shall be represented before the Director in any civil 
penalty matter, or an Administrative Law Judge or the Secretary's 
designee in a civil penalty hearing, under this subpart except as 
provided in this section.
    (a) Representing oneself. In any proceeding, an individual may 
appear on his or her own behalf.
    (b) Representative. Upon written notice to the Director,
    (1) A respondent may be represented by a personal representative. If 
a respondent wishes to be represented by counsel, such counsel must be 
an attorney at law admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the 
United States, the highest court of any State, commonwealth, possession, 
or territory of the United States, or the District of Columbia;
    (2) a duly authorized member of a partnership may represent the 
partnership; and
    (3) a bona fide officer, director, or employee of a corporation, 
trust or association may represent the corporation, trust or

counsel specifically assigned by the General Counsel.
    (d) Conflicts of interest--(1) Conflict of interest in 
representation. No individual shall appear as representative for a 
respondent in a proceeding conducted pursuant to this subpart if it 
reasonably appears that such representation may be materially limited by 
that representative's responsibilities to a third person, or by that 
representative's own interests.
    (2) Corrective measures. An Administrative Law Judge may take 
corrective measures at any stage of a proceeding to cure a conflict of 
interest in representation, including the issuance of an order limiting 
the scope of representation or disqualifying an individual from 
appearing in a representative capacity for the duration of the 
proceeding.
