a) Issuance of Subpoenas. Upon written request by a party, the Hearing Officer will issue a subpoena for attendance of a witness or production of books, papers, documents or other tangible things at a hearing or deposition if the party shows good cause as to why the testimony and/or books, papers, documents or other tangible things cannot otherwise be obtained and states the reasons why the testimony and/or books, papers, documents or other tangible things are necessary and relevant.

The subpoena shall state the phone number and address of the person initiating its issuance and shall identify the person or evidence subpoenaed and the person to whom, and the place, date and time at which, it is returnable.
d) Petition to Quash or Modify. Within 5 days after service of a subpoena on any person, that person may file a petition to quash or modify the subpoena, stating reasons in support of the relief. Whenever a petition to quash a subpoena is properly filed under this Section, the petitioner shall not be required to respond to the subpoena until the petition has been ruled upon.
