Sec. 501.737  Adjustments of time, postponements and adjournments.

    (a) Availability. Except as otherwise provided by law, the 
Administrative Law Judge or the Secretary's designee, as appropriate, at 
any time prior to the filing of his or her decision, may, for good cause 
and in the interest of justice, modify any time limit prescribed by this 
subpart and may, consistent with paragraph (b) of this section, postpone 
or adjourn any hearing.
    (b) Limitations on postponements, adjournments and adjustments. A 
hearing shall begin at the time and place ordered, provided that, within 
the limits provided, the Administrative Law Judge or the Secretary's 
designee, as appropriate, may for good cause shown postpone the 
commencement of the hearing or adjourn a convened hearing for a 
reasonable period of time.
    (1) Additional considerations. In considering a motion for 
postponement of the start of a hearing, adjournment once a hearing has 
begun, or extensions of time for filing papers, the Administrative Law 
Judge or the Secretary's designee, as appropriate, shall consider, in 
addition to any other factors:
    (i) The length of the proceeding to date;
    (ii) The number of postponements, adjournments or extensions already 
granted;
    (iii) The stage of the proceedings at the time of the request; and
    (iv) Any other matter as justice may require.
    (2) Time limit. Postponements, adjournments or extensions of time 
for filing papers shall not exceed 21 days unless the Administrative Law 
Judge or the Secretary's designee, as appropriate, states on the record 
or sets forth in a written order the reasons why a longer period of time 
is necessary.
