Sec. 102.16  Hearing; change of date or place.

    (a) Upon his own motion or upon proper cause shown by any other 
party, the Regional Director issuing the complaint may extend the date 
of such hearing or may change the place at which it is to be held, 
except that the authority of the Regional Director to extend the date of 
a hearing shall be limited to the following circumstances:
    (1) Where all parties agree or no party objects to extension of the 
date of hearing;
    (2) Where a new charge or charges have been filed which, if 
meritorious, might be appropriate for consolidation with the pending 
complaint;
    (3) Where negotiations which could lead to settlement of all or a 
portion of the complaint are in progress;
    (4) Where issues related to the complaint are pending before the 
General Counsel's Division of Advice or Office of Appeals; or
    (5) Where more than 21 days remain before the scheduled date of 
hearing.
    (b) In circumstances other than those set forth in subsection (a) of 
this section, motions to reschedule the hearing should be filed with the 
Division of Judges in accordance with Sec. 102.24(a). When a motion to 
reschedule has been granted, the Regional Director issuing the complaint 
shall retain the authority to order a new date for hearing and retain 
the responsibility to make the necessary arrangements for conducting 
such hearing, including its location and the transcription of the 
proceedings.
