    (a) To such extent as may be necessary to determine (1) the employee 
status of any individual or group of individuals, (2) the employer 
status of any person, and (3) any other matter arising out of or 
necessary for the administration of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance 
Act and the Railroad Retirement Acts of 1935, 1937, and 1974, other than 
those matters specifically provided for in parts 260 and 320 of this 
chapter, the Board may itself or through one of its members or a 
designated examiner, conduct hearings, require and compel the attendance 
of witnesses and the production of records and documents, administer 
oaths, take testimony, make all pertinent investigations and findings of 
fact, and render decisions upon such findings.
    (b) Where the Board determines that an oral hearing is necessary to 
the determination of a matter before it, the Board shall notify all 
parties to the proceeding that a hearing will be conducted, and, if the 
hearing is to be before a single Board member or a designated examiner, 
the notice shall identify the member or examiner authorized to conduct 
the hearing. The Board or the person authorized to conduct the hearing 
shall fix a time and place for the holding of the hearing and shall 
notify all parties thereof.
