37 Pa. Code § 197.70 - Hearings
(a) Hearings for
review of regulations, criteria or standards will be held in Harrisburg, unless
the Hearing Board for good cause determines that another location would be more
suitable.
(b) The time, date and
place of the hearing will be announced by the Hearing Board by written notice
to the petitioner and to the Department or health systems agency no later than
21 days before the hearing date.
(c) Hearings shall be confined to oral
argument only. This subsection supersedes 1 Pa. Code §35.126 (relating to presentation
by the parties).
(d) The petitioner
shall open, and after the presentation of other arguments, if any, may conclude
by way of rebuttal. This subsection supplements 1 Pa. Code §35.125 (relating to order of
procedure).
(e) The time for
argument shall be limited to not more than 30 minutes for each side, unless the
time is extended by the board member presiding at the hearing. Where more than
one petitioner is participating in a consolidated proceeding, the maximum time
shall be divided among the petitioners as they may decide. Notwithstanding
these time limits, each petitioner shall be allowed at least 5 minutes to
present his case.
(f) At the
discretion of the board member presiding at the hearing, an argument may be
terminated notwithstanding the fact that the maximum time for argument has not
been exhausted.
