§ 2.909 Rearrangement or suspension of proceedings.
In any proceeding subject to this part
where a party gives a notice of intent to
introduce Restricted Data or other
National Security Information, and the
presiding officer determines that any
other interested party does not have
required security clearances, the
presiding officer may in their discretion:
(a) Rearrange the normal order of the proceeding in a manner which gives such interested parties an opportunity to obtain required security clearances with minimum delay in the conduct of the proceeding.
(b) Suspend the proceeding or any portion of it until all interested parties have had opportunity to obtain required security clearances. No proceeding shall be suspended for such reasons for more than 100 days except with the consent of all parties or on a determination by the presiding officer that further suspension of the proceeding would not be contrary to the public interest.
(c) Take such other action as they
determine to be in the best interest of all
parties to the public.
