Sec. 205.3  Appearance before the DOE or a State Office.

    (a) A person may make an appearance, including personal appearances 
in the discretion of the DOE, and participate in any proceeding 
described in this part on his own behalf or by a duly authorized 
representative. Any application, appeal, petition, request or complaint 
filed by a duly authorized representative shall contain a statement by 
such person certifying that he is a duly authorized representative, 
unless a DOE form requires otherwise. Falsification of such 
certification will subject such person to the sanctions stated in 18 
U.S.C. 1001 (1970).
    (b) Suspension and disqualification: The DOE or a State Office may 
deny, temporarily or permanently, the privilege of participating in 
proceedings, including oral presentation, to any individual who is found 
by the DOE--
    (1) To have made false or misleading statements, either verbally or 
in writing;
    (2) To have filed false or materially altered documents, affidavits 
or other writings;
    (3) To lack the specific authority to represent the person seeking a 
DOE or State Office action; or
    (4) To have engaged in or to be engaged in contumacious conduct that 
substantially disrupts a proceeding.
