Title: Revisions to Subpart B- Testimony by Employees and the Production of Documents in Legal Proceedings | |
Abstract:
Sections 15 CFR 15.11-15.18 set forth the procedures currently applicable to requests submitted to the Department of Commerce for the testimony of employees, and the production of documents in legal proceedings to which the agency is not a party. The Department is revising these regulations to clarify these procedures, and to provide greater transparency regarding the factors that the agency will consider when reviewing such requests. The revised regulations will also clarify differences in procedures based on the facts of the request, such as whether the testimony requested is that of a former employee, whether the United States is a party to the underlying legal proceedings, or whether the testimony or documents are requested from the Office of the Inspector General. |
