hearings in the manner described below
until December 31, 2021, or until such

are committed to a high standard to
protect the health and safety of all
attorneys, representatives, parties, and
witnesses who may appear before them,
during the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID–

19) pandemic, while continuing the
agency’s mission. On July 30, 2021,
Commission Chief Administrative Law
Judge Glynn F. Voisin issued an order,
which is posted on the Commission’s
website (www.fmshrc.gov). The contents
of the order are set forth in this notice.
As of September 1, 2021, the
Commission will resume the prepandemic norm of in-person hearings,
but for the duration of the Chief Judge’s
July 30 order, all hearings are subject to
the following terms set forth in the
order.
Upon motion of a party or if necessary
for safety, Commission Judges may, at
their sole discretion, hold remote
hearings or require specific procedures
to provide for safety. Commission
Judges shall exercise this discretion
within uniform parameters as set forth
herein. Each Judge shall determine (1)
when to use remote hearings (e.g., via
Zoom) in lieu of in-person hearings or
(2) specific safety procedures to be used
at an in-person hearing.
In determining use of a remote
hearing, Judges will consider safety
factors on a case-by-case basis. Judges
also have the discretion to hold a hybrid
hearing, that includes both in-person
and video hearing. Judges will ensure
all parties appearing pro se who are
required to participate in a remote
hearing have access to necessary
equipment.
Prior to setting in-person hearings
Judges will have a conference call with
the attorneys and representatives of
each of the parties, to discuss the
considerations of the parties for the inperson hearing and to seek a
commitment to all requirements
ultimately set forth by the Judge. Judges
may discuss the agency’s travel
guidelines, protocols, and safety
measures but will not ask if participants
are vaccinated. All fully vaccinated
persons may attend the hearing in
person. Persons who are not fully
vaccinated, or who are not comfortable
with travel or appearing in person, may
make a request to attend the hearing
virtually.
The Judge will set a hearing location
after considering the safety and health
rules currently in place by the state and
local public health entities. In choosing
a courtroom, the Judge will take into
consideration the rules and
requirements of that courthouse or
hearing facility, as well as all applicable
federal, state, and local regulations and
guidelines. If the hearing is to be a
hybrid hearing, the Judge will also
consider the availability of internet and
video needs in the courtroom.
During the prehearing conference, the
Judge will inform the parties of the

state, local and courtroom requirements
and seek a commitment to adhere to
those requirements. The requirements
apply to all attorneys, assistants, parties,
and witnesses. The discussion will also
address who may enter the courtroom,
when, and what safety measures, such
as masks and social distancing, must be
implemented. No person may enter the
courtroom, or the witness room without
the permission of the Judge. The Judge
may consider allowing persons who are
not fully vaccinated to enter the
courtroom, but they must wear masks
and practice social distancing.
All court reporters will be notified
that they must be vaccinated.
The Judge may consider all factors, in
totality, in determining if a remote
hearing will be held and who may be
present for the hearing. No single factor
is dispositive. These procedures shall be
in place until December 31, 2021, unless
extended or modified by order. The
order shall be posted on the
Commission’s website
(www.fmshrc.gov) and the contents of
the order will be published in a notice
appearing in the Federal Register.
