The Department is amending four rules which provide for adjudications by the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA), in order to conform them to OHA procedural regulations contained in a new part 1003 of chapter X, being published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. This change of procedural references will not substantively affect the remedies provided under those rules. The Department is also amending certain rules to make clear its original intent that an appeal must be taken with OHA in order to exhaust administrative remedies.
