§ 1.246 Admission of facts and genuineness of documents.
(a) Within 20 days after the time for filing a notice of appearance has
expired; or within 20 days after the release of an order adding parties to
the proceeding (see § § 1.223 and 1.227) or changing the issues (see § 1.229);
or within such shorter or longer time as the presiding officer may allow on
motion or notice, a party may serve upon any other party a written request
for the admission by the latter of the genuineness of any relevant documents
identified in and exhibited by a clear copy with the request or of the truth
of any relevant matters of fact set forth in the request.
(b) Each of the matters of which an admission is requested shall be deemed
admitted unless, within a period designated in the request, not less than 10
days after service thereof, or within such shorter or longer time as the
presiding officer may allow on motion or notice, the party to whom the
request is directed serves upon the party requesting the admission either:
(1) A sworn statement denying specifically the matters of which an admission
is requested or setting forth in detail the reasons why he cannot truthfully
admit or deny those matters, or (2) written objections on the ground that
some or all of the requested admissions are privileged or irrelevant or that
the request is otherwise improper in whole or in part. If written objections
to a part of the request are made, the remainder of the request shall be
answered within the period designated in the request. A denial shall fairly
meet the substance of the requested admission, and when good faith requires
that a party deny only a part or a qualification of a matter of which an
admission is requested, he shall specify so much of it as is true and deny
only the remainder.
(c) A copy of the request and of any answer shall be served by the party
filing on all other parties to the proceeding and upon the presiding
officer.
(d) Written objections to the requested admissions may be ruled upon by the
presiding officer without additional pleadings.
