#### § 308.7 Use of social security account number in records systems. [Reserved]
§ 34.15 Outside hearings. ( a ) If an employee timely files a request for an outside hearing under § 34.13(g)(2), pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 5514(a)(2), STATE shall select the time, date, and location of the hearing.
( b ) Outside hearings shall be conducted by a hearing official not under the supervision or control of STATE.
( c ) *Procedure.* ( 1 ) After the employee requests a hearing, the hearing official shall notify the employee of the form of the hearing to be provided. If the hearing will be oral, notice shall set forth the date, time and location of the hearing. If the hearing will be paper, the employee shall be notified that he or she should submit arguments in writing to the hearing official by a specified date after which the record shall be closed. This date shall give the employee reasonable time to submit documentation.
( 2 ) *Oral hearing.* An employee who requests an oral hearing shall be provided an oral hearing if the hearing official determines that the matter cannot be resolved by review of documentary evidence alone (e.g., when an issue of credibility or veracity is involved). The hearing is not an adversarial adjudication, and need not take the form of an evidentiary hearing.
( 3 ) *Paper hearing.* If the hearing official determines that an oral hearing is not necessary, he or she will make a decision based upon a review of the available written record.
( 4 ) *Record.* The hearing official must maintain a summary record of any hearing provided by this subpart. Witnesses who provide testimony will do so under oath or affirmation.
( 5 ) *Content of decision.* The written decision shall include: ( i ) A statement of the facts presented to support the origin, nature, and amount of the debt;
( ii ) The hearing official's findings, analysis, and conclusions; and
( iii ) The terms of any repayment schedules, or the date salary offset will commence, if applicable.
( 6 ) *Failure to appear.* In the absence of good cause shown (e.g., excused illness), an employee who fails to appear at a hearing shall be deemed, for the purpose of this subpart, to admit the existence and amount of the debt as described in the notice of intent. The hearing official shall schedule a new hearing date upon the request of the creditor agency representative when good cause is shown.
( d ) A hearing official's decision is considered to be an official certification regarding the existence and amount of the debt for purposes of executing salary offset under 5 U.S.C. 5514 only. It does not supersede the finding by STATE that a debt is owed and does not affect the Government's ability to recoup the indebtedness through alternative collection methods under § 34.10.
#### In the Matter of Alma Shaver, Appellant, v. The People of the State of New York, Respondent.

Order unanimously affirmed. (Appeal from order of Erie Special Term denying petitioner’s application to quash a subpoena in a John Doe proceeding.) Present—Williams, P. J., Bastow, Goldman, McClusky and Henry, JJ.
§ 229.515 Compensation. A recipient shall not make or enforce any policy or practice that, on the basis of sex: ( a ) Makes distinctions in rates of pay or other compensation;
( b ) Results in the payment of wages to employees of one sex at a rate less than that paid to employees of the opposite sex for equal work on jobs the performance of which requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and that are performed under similar working conditions.
#### John M. Benneward et al., Respondents, v. Colonial Sand and Stone Co., Inc., Appellant.

In an action to recover damages for injuries to person and property caused by the overturning of a truck owned and operated by defendant, said defendant appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County, dated June 8, 1960, granting summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs and striking out defendant’s answer, pursuant to rule 113 of the Rules of Civil Practice. Order reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and motion denied. If it be assumed, as plaintiffs assert, that the proof submitted was sufficient to establish negligence prima facie on the part of defendant, judgment in favor of plaintiffs was, nevertheless, not warranted as a matter of law (Rules Civ. Prac., rule 113; *George Foltis, Inc.,*v. *City of New York,*287 N. Y. 108; *Nixon*v. *New York Cent. R. R. Co.,*10 A D 2d 870). Nolan, P. J., Beldoek, Kleinfeld and Brennan, JJ., concur; Pette, J., dissents and votes to affirm, with the following memorandum: Plaintiffs charge defendant with negligence, first, in attempting to traverse the private dirt road with a multi-ton truck carrying a nine-ton load of concrete mix; and second, after the truck became mired and had listed, in trying to extricate the listing truck without first removing the load. Defendant offers an explanation for the first, saying that it relied on the assurance of two men on the job that the road could safely be used for the purpose, other heavy equipment having previously traversed it without trouble. This may be enough to raise an issue with respect to the first act of negligence charged. However, defendant offers no excuse or explanation for the second, namely, its failure to remove the concrete before attempting to right the listing truck. The inference that the truck overturned and fell into plaintiffs’ property because of defendant’s negligence in this respect, is not only reasonable but is, in my opinion, inescapable in the absence of an explanation consistent with reasonable care *(George Foltis, Inc.,*v. *City of New York,*287 N. Y. 108, 121; *Gerard*v. *Inglese,*11 A D 2d 381; *Richard Equip. Corp.*v. *Manhattan Ind. Contr. Co.,*9 A D 2d 691).
§ 224.10 Default upon failure to file an answer. ( a ) If the defendant does not file an answer within the time prescribed in § 224.9(a), the reviewing official may refer the complaint to the ALJ.
( b ) Upon the referral of the complaint, the ALJ shall promptly serve on defendant in the manner prescribed in § 224.8, a notice that an initial decision will be issued under this section.
( c ) The ALJ shall assume the facts alleged in the complaint to be true, and, if such facts establish liability under § 224.3, the ALJ shall issue an initial decision imposing the maximum amount of penalties and assessments allowed under the statute.
( d ) Except as otherwise provided in this section, by failing to file a timely answer, the defendant waives any right to further review of the penalties and assessments imposed under paragraph (c) of this section, and the initial decision shall become final and binding upon the parties 30 days after it is issued.
( e ) If, before such an initial decision becomes final, the defendant files a motion with the ALJ seeking to reopen on the grounds that extraordinary circumstances prevented the defendant from filing an answer, the initial decision shall be stayed pending the ALJ's decision on the motion.
( f ) If, on such motion, the defendant can demonstrate extraordinary circumstances excusing the failure to file a timely answer the ALJ shall withdraw the initial decision in paragraph (c) of this section, if such a decision has been issued, and shall grant the defendant an opportunity to answer the complaint.
( g ) A decision of the ALJ denying defendant's motion under paragraph (e) of this section is not subject to reconsideration under § 224.38.
( h ) The defendant may appeal to the A.I.D. Administrator the decision denying a motion to reopen by filing a notice of appeal with the A.I.D. Administrator within 15 days after the ALJ denies the motion. The timely filing of a notice of appeal shall stay the initial decision until the A.I.D. Administrator decides the issue.
( i ) If the defendant files a timely notice of appeal with the A.I.D. Administrator, the ALJ shall forward the record of the proceeding to the A.I.D. Administrator.
( j ) The A.I.D. Administrator shall decide expeditiously whether extraordinary circumstances excuse the defendant's failure to file a timely answer based solely on the record before the ALJ.
( k ) If the A.I.D. Administrator decides that extraordinary circumstances excused the defendant's failure to file a timely answer, the A.I.D. Administrator shall remand the case to the ALJ with instructions to grant the defendant an opportunity to answer.
( l ) If the A.I.D. Administrator decides that the defendant's failure to file a timely answer is not excused, the A.I.D. Administrator shall reinstate the initial decision of the ALJ, which shall become final and binding upon the parties 30 days after the A.I.D. Administrator issues such decision.
