Sec.  134.214  Subpoenas.

    (a) Availability. At the request of a party, or upon his or her own 
initiative, a Judge may issue a subpoena requiring a witness to appear 
and testify, or to produce particular documents, at a specified time and 
place. Subpoenas are not authorized for proceedings relating to internal 
Agency determinations, such as Employee Disputes.
    (b) Requests. A request for the issuance of a subpoena must be 
written, served upon all parties, and filed. The request must clearly 
identify the witness and any documents to be subpoenaed, and must set 
forth the relevance of the testimony or documents sought.
    (c) Service. A subpoena may only be served by personal delivery. The 
individual making service shall prepare an affidavit stating the date, 
time, and place of the service. The party which obtained the subpoena 
must serve upon all other parties, and file with OHA, a copy of the 
subpoena and affidavit of service within 2 days after service is made.
    (d) Motion to quash. A motion to limit or quash a subpoena must be 
filed and served within 10 days after service of the subpoena, or by the 
return date of the subpoena, whichever date comes first. Any response to 
the motion must be filed and served within 10 days after service of the 
motion, unless a shorter time is specified by the Judge. No oral 
argument will be heard on the motion unless the Judge directs otherwise.
