(a) NHTSA may issue a subpoena to compel any person, sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or other enti-ty to provide information at an infor-mation gathering hearing. 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
39、it to the panel, in writing, pro-posed questions to be asked of a wit-ness. A member of the panel may pose these questions to the witness if that member deems the questions useful and appropriate. Proposed questions may be submitted to the panel at any time before or during the course of the hear-in
40、g. (c) The stenographic record of each witnesss testimony will be available to the public, unless the testimony was not given publicly and the witness re-quests confidential treatment for some or all of his or her testimony.

44、e extent that some or all of a witnesss testimony is not publicly available, that witness may procure a copy of his or her testi-mony as recorded upon payment of lawfully prescribed costs. (d)(1) Any person who is required by subpoena or designated by an entity that is required by subpoena to provid
45、e information at an information gath-ering hearing conducted under this sec-tion may be accompanied, represented, and advised by counsel. Any member of the bar of a Federal court or the courts of any State or Territory of the United States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or the District of Columbi

(e) The presiding officer at an infor-mation gathering hearing takes all necessary action to regulate the course of the hearing, to avoid delay,
48、and to assure that reasonable standards of or-derly and ethical conduct are main-tained. In any case in which counsel for or a representative of a witness has re-fused to comply with the presiding offi-cers directions, or to adhere to reason-able standards of orderly and ethical conduct in the cours
49、e of a hearing, the presiding officer states on the record the reasons given, if any, for the re-fusal and, if the presiding officer is someone other than the Administrator, immediately reports the refusal to the Administrator. The Administrator thereupon takes such action as the cir-cumstances warrant. (f) Where appropriate, the procedures established in this subsection may be utilized in informal hearings conducted
