    (a) The ALJ may order the taking of the testimony of a witness by 

telephonic conference call. A person presenting evidence may by motion 

ask for the taking of testimony by this means. The arrangement of the 

call must let each participant listen to and speak to each other within 

the hearing of the ALJ, who will ensure the full identification of each

telephonic conference call. The subpoena in any such instance issues 

under the procedures in Sec. 20.608.
