Sec.  10.14  Hearings.



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

hearings in adjudicatory proceedings, do not apply to informal rule 

making proceedings described in this part. When opportunity is afforded 

for oral presentation, such informal hearing is a nonadversary, fact-

finding proceeding. Any rule issued in a proceeding under this part in 

which a hearing is held is not based exclusively on the record of such 

hearing.

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

representative to conduct the hearing, and if the presence of a legal 

officer is desirable, the General Counsel will designate a staff 

attorney to serve as the officer.
