A. General. The
Superintendent may hold a prehearing conference for any purpose that may
expedite the orderly conduct and disposition of a proceeding, including but not
limited to formulating or simplifying the issues, considering motions,
establishing discovery schedules, resolving discovery disputes, arranging for
exchange of proposed exhibits or prefiled testimony, identifying witnesses or
providing for procedures to be followed at the hearing. In cases where he deems
it advisable, the Superintendent may hold more than one prehearing conference
with respect to a proceeding.
B.

of hearing or pursuant to Section 8 B of these rules.
C. Prehearing Memoranda. The Superintendent
may require the filing of prehearing memoranda before or after a prehearing
conference, or both, as he deems appropriate. The contents and order of filing
of these memoranda shall be specified in an order issued by the
Superintendent.
D. Prehearing
Order. The Superintendent may issue an order based upon a prehearing conference
or prehearing memoranda which will control the course of subsequent
