oaths, take testimony, make all pertinent investigations and findings of 

fact, and render decisions upon such findings.

    (b) Where the Board determines that an oral hearing is necessary to 

the determination of a matter before it, the Board shall notify all 

parties to the proceeding that a hearing will be conducted, and, if the 

hearing is to be before a single Board member or a designated examiner, 

the notice shall identify the member or examiner authorized to conduct 

the hearing. The Board or the person authorized to conduct the hearing 

shall fix a time and place for the holding of the hearing and shall 

notify all parties thereof.
