parties shall exchange witness lists, copies of
prior statements of proposed witnesses, and copies
of proposed hearing exhibits, including copies of
any written statements that the party intends to
offer in lieu of live testimony in accordance with
§ 16.33(b). At the time the above documents are

specific pages of the transcript it intends to
introduce into evidence.
(b)
If a party objects, the ALJ shall not admit
into evidence the testimony of any witness whose
name does not appear on the witness list or any
exhibit not provided to the opposing party as
provided above unless the ALJ finds good cause and
that there is no prejudice to the objecting
party.
(c)
Unless another party objects within the
time set by the ALJ, documents exchanged in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this section,
shall be deemed to be authentic for the purpose of
admissibility at the hearing.
