Requirement to show cause 

and imposition of sanction. 

(a) Upon receipt of a communication 

knowingly made or knowingly caused

his designee or the hearing officer may, 
to the extent consistent with the inter-
ests of justice and the policy of the un-
derlying statutes, require the party to 
show cause why his or her claim or in-
terest in the proceeding should not be

erwise adversely affected on account of 
such violation.

may, to the extent consistent with the 
interests of justice and the policy of

knowingly committed such violation or 
knowingly caused such violation to
