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.
