Sec. 1.15  Hearings.



    (a) The provisions of 5 U.S.C. 556 and 557, which govern formal 

hearings in adjudicatory proceedings, do not apply to informal 

rulemaking proceedings described in this part. When opportunity is 

afforded for oral presentation, the informal ``hearing'' is a 

nonadversary, fact-finding proceeding. Any rule issued in a proceeding 

under this part in which a hearing is held need not be based exclusively 

on the record of such hearing.

    (b) When a hearing is provided, the Director will designate a 

representative to conduct the hearing.
