The rules of practice and procedure promulgated by the OALJ at subpart A of 29 CFR part 18, govern the conduct of hearings under this subpart. However, a request for hearing under this subpart is not considered a complaint to which the filing of an answer by the Department or a Department agency or official is required. Technical rules of evidence will not apply to hearings conducted pursuant to this part. However, rules or principles designed to assure production of the most credible evidence available and to subject testimony to cross-examination will apply. (b) Prehearing procedures. In all cases, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) should encourage the use of prehearing procedures to simplify and clarify facts and issues. (c) Subpoenas. Subpoenas necessary to secure the attendance of witnesses and the production of documents or other items at hearings must be obtained from the ALJ and must be issued under the authority contained in WIOA sec. 183(c), incorporating 15 U.S.C. 49. (d) Timely submission of evidence. The ALJ must not permit the introduction at the hearing of any documentation if it has not been made available for review by the other parties to the proceeding either at the time ordered for any prehearing conference, or, in the absence of such an order, at least 3 weeks prior to the hearing date. (e) Burden of production. The Grant Officer has the burden of production to support her or his decision. This burden is satisfied once the Grant Officer prepares and files an administrative file in support of the decision which must be made part of the record. Thereafter, the party or parties seeking to overturn the Grant Officer's decision has the burden of persuasion. ## Nearby sections - [20 CFR § 683.100 § 683.100 When do Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act grant funds become available for obligation?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/ecfr-20-683.100.md) - [20 CFR § 683.105 § 683.105 What award document authorizes the expenditure of funds under title I of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and the Wagner-Peyser Act?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/ecfr-20-683.105.md) - [20 CFR § 683.110 § 683.110 What is the period of performance of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act title I and Wagner-Peyser Act funds?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/ecfr-20-683.110.md) - [20 CFR § 683.115 § 683.115 What planning information must a State submit in order to receive a formula grant?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/ecfr-20-683.115.md) - [20 CFR § 683.120 § 683.120 How are Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act title I formula funds allocated to local areas?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/ecfr-20-683.120.md) - [20 CFR § 683.125 § 683.125 What minimum funding provisions apply to Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act adult, dislocated worker, and youth allocations?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/ecfr-20-683.125.md) - [20 CFR § 683.130 § 683.130 Does a Local Workforce Development Board have the authority to transfer funds between the adult employment and training activities allocation and the dislocated worker employment and training activities allocation?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/ecfr-20-683.130.md) - [20 CFR § 683.135 § 683.135 What reallotment procedures does the Secretary use?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/ecfr-20-683.135.md) - [20 CFR § 683.140 § 683.140 What reallocation procedures must the Governors use?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/ecfr-20-683.140.md) - [20 CFR § 683.145 § 683.145 What merit review and risk assessment does the Department conduct for Federal financial assistance awards made under Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act title I, subtitle D?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/ecfr-20-683.145.md) - [20 CFR § 683.150 § 683.150 What closeout requirements apply to grants funded with Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act title I and Wagner-Peyser Act funds?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/ecfr-20-683.150.md) - [20 CFR § 683.200 § 683.200 What general fiscal and administrative rules apply to the use of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act title I and Wagner-Peyser Act funds?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/ecfr-20-683.200.md) - [20 CFR § 683.205 § 683.205 What administrative cost limitations apply to Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act title I grants?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/ecfr-20-683.205.md) - [20 CFR § 683.210 § 683.210 What audit requirements apply to the use of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act title I and Wagner-Peyser Act funds?](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/ecfr-20-683.210.md) --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/ecfr-20-683.810.
