Office of Hearings and Appeals Procedural Regulations

Riepilogo

The Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to amend its regulations by adding a new Part to contain procedural regulations governing proceedings before the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA), a quasi-judicial branch of the DOE, pertaining to matters within the jurisdiction of that Office. These proposed rules have been organized into a new part 1003 within chapter X of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations. They streamline and distill the procedures governing the conduct of proceedings before the OHA and update pertinent filing information. They will be utilized by OHA in cases that do not involve the former Federal petroleum price and allocation control regulations.
