29 CFR 2200.205 : Labor (§ 0.735-1 To Parts 4908-4999) — (Part 1927 To Parts 4908-4999) — Regulations Relating To Labor (Continued) (Part 1927 To Parts 4908-4999) — Occupational Safety And Health Review Commission (§ 2200.1 To Parts 2401-2499) — Rules Of Procedure (§ 2200.1 To § 2200.211) — Simplified Proceedings (§ 2200.200 To § 2200.211) — Filing of pleadings.

(a) Complaint and answer. Once a case is designated for Simplified Proceedings, the complaint and answer requirements are suspended. If the Secretary has filed a complaint under § 2200.34(a), a response to a petition under § 2200.37(d)(5), or a response to an employee contest under § 2200.38(a), and if Simplified Proceedings have been ordered, no response to these documents will be required.

(b) Motions. A primary purpose of Simplified Proceedings is to eliminate, as much as possible, motions and similar documents. A motion will not be viewed favorably if the subject of the motion has not been first discussed among the parties.
