Under 1922.6, the Chairman controls the course of an investigational hearing and makes rulings on procedural requests, objections, and related matters. The Chairman also confines the hearing to the matters for which the Board is responsible, and may be assisted by counsel assigned by the Solicitor of Labor (1922.6).
Under 1922.6, the Chairman may be assisted by counsel, and that counsel is assigned by the Solicitor of Labor. This assistance is expressly provided to help the Chairman perform duties such as ruling on procedural matters (1922.6).
Under 1922.6, the Chairman handles procedural requests, objections, and related matters, including regulating the course of the hearing and deciding what issues will be considered.

Under 1922.6, the Chairman can confine the hearing to the matters for which the Board is responsible, meaning the Chairman may exclude topics that fall outside the Board's jurisdiction or the scope of the investigation. This keeps the hearing focused on relevant issues (1922.6).
Under 1922.6, stenographic reporting of investigational hearings is not required; it is discretionary. The Board may decide to have the hearing stenographically reported, but it is not automatic (1922.6).
Under 1922.6, if a hearing is stenographically reported, copies of the transcript may be obtained under the terms the Chairman sets. You should follow whatever procedures and fees (if any) the Chairman establishes for obtaining transcripts (1922.6).
Under 1922.6, if the Board does not order a stenographic report, there will not be an official stenographic transcript to obtain; transcripts are available only when the hearing is stenographically reported. Any transcript copies are provided only when the Board has directed reporting (1922.6).

Under 1922.6, the decision to have a hearing stenographically reported rests with the Board’s discretion, so the Board may decline to order stenographic reporting even if a party requests it. If the Board does not order reporting, no official stenographic transcript will be produced (1922.6).
Under 1922.6, counsel assigned by the Solicitor of Labor assist the Chairman in performing the Chairman’s duties; the regulation frames the assistance as support to the Chairman rather than independent decision-making authority. The Chairman remains responsible for regulating the hearing and disposing of procedural matters (1922.6).
Under 1922.6, "dispose of related matters" means the Chairman has authority to resolve issues closely tied to running the hearing—such as scheduling, limiting testimony to relevant subjects, ruling on objections, and other procedural questions necessary to conduct the hearing efficiently. The Chairman performs these duties as part of regulating the hearing (1922.6).
Under 1922.6, participants should prepare to focus testimony and evidence on the matters for which the Board has responsibility, because the Chairman can confine the hearing’s scope to those issues.

Under 1922.6, the regulation states hearings may be stenographically reported at the Board’s discretion but does not specify who provides the reporter; logistical details and terms for obtaining transcripts are handled under the Chairman’s directions. For the governing authority and procedures, follow the Chairman’s instructions when reporting is ordered (1922.6).
