The sub-poenas are used for the purpose of ob

37、-taining testimony from a witness under oath and obtaining relevant doc-uments and things. The Administrator, or a NHTSA employee designated by the Administrator, presides at the hearing. Information gathering hear-ings are open to the public unless the presiding officer rules otherwise, and the hea

38、rings are stenographically re-ported. (b) In addition to the presiding offi-cer, one or more other persons may comprise the panel. Each member of the panel may question any witness at the hearing. No person who is not a member of the panel may ask questions of a witness. However, any person may subm

45、e information at an information gath-ering hearing conducted under this sec-tion may be accompanied, represented, and advised by counsel.
