Title: Setting the Time and Place for a Hearing Before an Administrative Law Judge (3481F) 
Abstract: We amended our rules to clarify that the agency is responsible for setting the time and place for a hearing before an administrative law judge. This change ensures greater flexibility in scheduling both in-person and video-teleconference hearings, increases efficiency in the hearing process, and reduces the number of pending hearings. The number of cases awaiting a hearing reached historic proportions and greater efficiency was critical to addressing this problem.
