    At any time after the issuance of an order designating the time and 
place of hearing in a proceeding to modify, suspend, or revoke a license 
or for other action, the staff and a licensee or other person may enter 
into a stipulation for the settlement of the proceeding or the 
compromise of a civil penalty. The stipulation or compromise shall be 
subject to approval by the designated presiding officer or, if none has 
been designated, by the Chief Administrative Law Judge, according due 
weight to the position of the staff. The presiding officer, or if none 
has been designated, the Chief Administrative Law Judge, may order such 
adjudication of the issues as he may deem to be required in the public 
interest to dispose of the proceeding. If approved, the terms of the 
settlement or compromise shall be embodied in a decision or order 
settling and discontinuing the proceeding.
