materially advance the proceeding; and
(2) The party at whose instance the

Under the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act
Section 13.71

Applicability.

Whenever the Chief Counsel, the Assistant Chief Counsel, Enforcement,
the Assistant Chief Counsel, Europe,
Africa, and Middle East Area Office, or
a Regional Counsel has reason to believe that a person is engaging in the
transportation or shipment by air of
hazardous materials in violation of the
Hazardous Materials Transportation
Act, or any regulation or order issued
under it for which the FAA exercises
enforcement responsibility, and the
circumstances do not require the
issuance of an order of immediate compliance, he may conduct proceedings
pursuant to section 109 of that Act (49
U.S.C. 1808) to determine the nature
and extent of the violation, and may
thereafter issue an order directing
compliance.

for a full disclosure of the facts.
(b) Except with respect to affirmative defenses and orders of denial, the
burden of proof is upon the FAA counsel.
(c) The Hearing Officer may order information contained in any report or
document filed or in any testimony
given pursuant to this subpart withheld from public disclosure when, in
the judgment of the Hearing Officer,
disclosure would adversely affect the
interests of any person and is not required in the public interest or is not
otherwise required by statute to be
made available to the public. Any person may make written objection to the
public disclosure of such information,
stating the ground for such objection.
