The presiding officer may, on the presiding officer's own
motion or as requested by a party, order hearings or argument to be held by
telephone conference or other electronic means in which all parties have an
opportunity to participate. The presiding officer will determine the location
of the parties and witnesses for telephone or other electronic hearings. The
convenience of the parties or witnesses, as well as the nature of the case,
shall be considered when the location is chosen. The presiding officer may
permit any witness to testify by telephone or other electronic means. If there
is a prehearing conference, the parties shall disclose at or before the
prehearing conference whether any witness will be testifying by telephone or
other electronic means. If there is not a prehearing conference, the parties
shall disclose not less than three business days prior to the hearing date
whether any witness will be testifying by telephone or other electronic means
unless any law, rule, or order of the presiding officer requires disclosure
sooner. Objections, if any, shall be filed and served on all parties at least
three business days in advance of hearing.
