Sec. 105.50  Serving a subpoena.



    (a) Personal service. Anyone who is not an interested party and who 

is at least 18 years of age may serve you with a subpoena and fees by 

handing the subpoena and fees to you, by leaving them at your office 

with the individual in charge, or by leaving them at your house with 

someone who lives there and is capable of making sure that you receive 

them. If PHMSA issues a subpoena to an entity, rather than an 

individual, personal service is made by delivering the subpoena and fees 

to the entity's registered agent for service of process or to any 

officer, director or agent in charge of any of the entity's offices.

    (b) Service by mail. You may be served with a copy of a subpoena and 

fees by certified or registered mail at your last known address. Service 

of a subpoena and fees may also be made by registered or certified mail 

to your agent for service of process or any of your representatives at 

that person's last known address.

    (c) Other methods. You may be served with a copy of a subpoena by 

any method where you receive actual notice of the subpoena and receive 

the fees before leaving the hearing at which you testify.

    (d) Filing after service. After service is complete, the individual 

who served a copy of a subpoena and fees must file the original subpoena 

and a certificate of service with the PHMSA official who is responsible 

for conducting the hearing.
