17. Summoning witnesses

  1. Notices to Appear. 
    Parties must serve their witnesses notices to appear that provide the location of the hearing and the date. 
  2. Subpoenas. 
    Parties may move for issuance of a subpoena requiring a witness to appear and testify, as provided by regulation (e.g., 42 C.F.R. § 498.58 or 42 C.F.R. § 1005.9).  The moving party is to ascertain in advance, and indicate in the motion requesting a subpoena, whether or not the opposing party objects.  The party requesting the subpoena is responsible for serving the witness.
