Department Hearings and Appeals Procedures

This document eliminates an outdated footnote in regulations, addressing the organization of the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) and the authority delegated by the Secretary to the Director and other principal officials in OHA. The organization and authority is fully explained in the text of the regulation. This document also eliminates the words ``and Osage Indian wills'' as a limitation no longer applicable on the scope of authority of Administrative Law Judges and Interior Board of Indian Appeals to rule on probate issues from the Osage Indian Tribe.
