    (a) The presiding officer may, in his discretion, hold a prehearing 

conference with the parties to the hearing and the legal officer before 

the hearing.

prehearing conference shall submit a brief written statement of the 

evidence he intends to provide through his witnesses and by questioning 

other witnesses at the hearing, and shall provide enough copies of the 

statement so that the presiding officer may keep three for the FAA and 

give one to each other party.

    (c) At the prehearing conference, the presiding officer reduces and 

simplifies the subject matter of the hearing so far as possible and 

advises the parties of the probable order of presenting the evidence.
