Title: ●Procedures for the Use of Administrative Subpoenas 
Abstract:

OSHA makes extensive use of subpoenas to gather evidence and interview witnesses during its investigations. This subpoena practice raises recurrent issues which lead to time-consuming disputes between the agency and employers. OSHA intends to adopt a regulation addressing the use of subpoenas during OSHA investigations to provide helpful clarity to the agency and the regulated public on these issues, while promoting transparency and uniform subpoena practice across the agency.
