Sec. 820.37  Participation in an adjudication.

    (a) Parties. In an enforcement adjudication, the Director and the 
respondent shall be the only parties; provided that the Presiding 
Officer may permit a person to intervene as a party if the person 
demonstrates it could be liable in the event a civil penalty is 
assessed.
    (b) Appearances. Any party to an enforcement adjudication may appear 
in person or by counsel or other representative. A partner may appear on 
behalf of a partnership and an officer may appear on behalf of a 
corporation. Persons who appear as counsel or other representative must 
conform to the standards of conduct and ethics required of practitioners 
before the courts of the United States.
    (c) Amicus Curiae. Persons not parties to an enforcement 
adjudication who wish to file briefs may so move. The motion shall 
identify the interest of the person and shall state the reasons why the 
proposed amicus brief is desirable. If the motion is granted, the 
Presiding Officer shall issue an order setting the time for filing such 
brief. An amicus curiae is eligible to participate in any briefing after 
his motion is granted, and shall be served with all briefs, reply 
briefs, motions, and orders relating to issues to be briefed.
