Mission

The Office of Hearings is presently composed of three administrative law judges and five support staff, including two attorney-advisors. The Judges hold hearings under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. § 551, et seq.) (“APA”) for the Department’s Office of the Secretary (primarily in aviation matters) and most of the Department’s component modal administrations that need formal APA hearings, including the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”), Federal Railroad Administration (“FRA”), Maritime Administration (“MARAD”), National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (“NHTSA”), and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”).
