(a) Hearings. The Agency may direct a hearing to be held in a Declaratory Decision Proceeding whenever the Agency determines such a hearing would be helpful in issuing a Declaratory Decision or to determine if the Person filing the application, the parties, the intervenors, and other Persons directly affected by the Declaratory Decision agree on a set of undisputed facts sufficient to support a meaningful Declaratory Decision; to confirm the matter is not the subject of a pending adjudication; or to verify a genuine controversy exists.(b) Hearing Procedure. When the Agency determines to hold a hearing, unless an Applicant, party, or intervenor waives the opportunity to be heard, the Agency, the Applicant, the parties, the intervenors and, at the Agency's discretion, any other interested Person, may each be permitted equal time in the discretion of the Agency to make oral presentations. No cross-examination will be permitted. Parties may stipulate to additional facts or information to assist the Agency's understanding of the Situation. The hearing need not be reported by a stenographic reporter, but in that instance a written summary of each oral presentation must be submitted at the hearing.Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 1, § 1284
