§ 1504.107 - Formal OFI proceedings—discovery.

(a) To the extent that it undertakes an enforcement or other regulatory action which requires an agency hearing on the record or which otherwise could result in the imposition of serious sanctions against the responding person, the OFI will gather the necessary information through interrogatories, document production, depositions, and other forms of discovery.

(b) The rules governing such discovery will appear as part of the OFI's rules of practice and procedure, 10 CFR part 1508.

(c) Unjustified refusal to comply with discovery requests may result in the OFI issuing a subpoena compelling compliance, as per § 1504.108.
