  § 1.255   Order of procedure.

   (a) At hearings on a formal complaint or petition or in a proceeding for any
   instrument of authorization which the Commission is empowered to issue, the
   complainant, petitioner, or applicant, as the case may be, shall, unless the
   Commission otherwise orders, open and close. At hearings on protests, the
   protestant opens and closes the proceedings in case the issues are not
   specifically adopted by the Commission; otherwise the grantee does so. At
   hearings on orders to show cause, to cease and desist, to revoke or modify a
   station license under sections 312 and 316 of the Communications Act, or
   other like proceedings instituted by the Commission, the Commission shall
   open and close.

   (b) At all hearings under Title II of the Communications Act, other than
   hearings on formal complaints, petitions, or applications, the respondent
   shall open and close unless otherwise specified by the Commission.

   (c) In all other cases, the Commission or presiding officer shall designate
   the order of presentation. Intervenors shall follow the party in whose
   behalf intervention is made, and in all cases where the intervention is not
   in support of an original party, the Commission or presiding officer shall
   designate at what stage such intervenors shall be heard.
