presiding officer only upon proper
showing that there are genuine issues of
material fact that cannot be resolved on
the basis of sworn statements, affidavits,

the nature of the matter in issue is such
that an oral hearing and crossexamination are necessary for the
development of an adequate record.
Pursuant to the further terms of 46 CFR
502.61, the initial decision of the
presiding officer in this proceeding shall
be issued by November 18, 2008, and
