LABROALJ0001

In most cases, hearings conducted by administrative law judges will follow the procedures of 29 CFR Part 18. On December 4, 2012, the Department of Labor published for Notice and Comment, proposed revisions to the Rules of Practice and Procedure for Hearings Before the Office of Administrative Law Judges, 29 CFR Part 18 (77 FR 72142). No final action has been taken as of November 25, 2014. In addition to the hearing procedures of 29 CFR Part 18, hearings arising under the following seven statutes follow the procedures in 29 CFR Part 24: (1) Clean Air Act; (2) Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980; (3) Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended; (4) Federal Water Pollution Control Act; (5) Safe Drinking Water Act; (6) Solid Waste Disposal Act; and (7) Toxic Substances Control Act. The Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, provides grants to states for workforce investment activities, job training, and employment services. Cases involving alleged violation of Job Service regulations may be heard by ALJs. Decisions that involve decertification of a state agency may be appealed to the Administrative Review Board; otherwise the ALJ's decision is the Secretary's final decision in the matter. 20 CFR § 658.710(c)
