Sec. 14.26  Further proceedings.



    (a) Ordinarily the determination of an award will be made on the 

basis of the written record; however, on request of either the applicant 

or agency counsel, or on his or her own initiative, the ALJ or 

adjudicative officer assigned to the matter may order further 

proceedings, such as an informal conference, oral argument, additional 

written submissions, or an evidentiary hearing. Such further proceedings 

shall be held only when necessary for full and fair resolution of the 

issues arising from the application and shall be conducted as promptly 

as possible.

    (b) A request that the administrative law judge order further 

proceedings under this section shall specifically identify the 

information sought or the disputed issues and shall explain why the 

additional proceedings are necessary to resolve the issues.
