A. Location.

(1) In the absence of any statutory requirements to the contrary, all hearings conducted by OSI shall occur in Santa Fe, unless the hearing officer orders the parties to appear at another location in New Mexico.

(2) The parties may express a mutual preference for location of the hearing in their request for hearing.

(3) In selecting a location other than Santa Fe, the hearing officer shall consider and give weight to the location and wishes of the parties, witnesses, access for a hearing officer with expertise in the matter, and the scheduling and staffing needs of OSI.

(4) If selection of a location other than Santa Fe would cause an unreasonable, undue burden to any party, that party may file a written objection to the selected location within 10 days of issuance of the notice of hearing, articulating the reasons supporting the objection. The hearing officer shall promptly review the objection and, upon a showing of an unreasonable, undue burden, may move the hearing to another more reasonable location and the superintendent may designate another hearing officer if necessary.

B. Notice. OSI shall notify the parties to the hearing of the date, time and, place scheduled for the hearing at least fourteen days before the scheduled hearing. This notice shall be directed to the party's attorney, or to the last known address of any unrepresented party. Notice will be sent by US mail unless the parties have requested an alternate method of notification that is acceptable to OSI.
