Sec. 105.55  Refusal to obey a subpoena.

    (a) Quashing or modifying a subpoena. If you receive a subpoena, you 
can ask RSPA to overturn (``quash'') or modify the subpoena within 10 
days after the subpoena is served on you. Your request must briefly 
explain the reasons you are asking for the subpoena to be quashed or 
modified. RSPA may then do the following:
    (1) Deny your request.
    (2) Quash or modify the subpoena.
    (3) Grant your request on the condition that you satisfy certain 
specified requirements.
    (b) Failure to obey. If you disobey a subpoena, RSPA may ask the 
Attorney General to seek help from the United States District Court for 
the appropriate District to compel you, after notice, to appear before 
RSPA and give testimony, produce subpoenaed documents or physical 
evidence, or both.
