the hearing. You must tell us if you need a sign language interpreter.
You may contact us by email, at enolan@oath.nyc.gov or by telephone at 212 436-0708 to request a reasonable accommodation. Please tell us by October 14, 2020.
Can I review the comments made on the proposed rule? You can review the comments that have been submitted online by visiting the NYC rules website, at http rules.cityofnewyork.us/. Shortly after the public hearing, a summary of oral comments and copies of all written comments will be available to the public on OATHs website, at https
www1.nyc.gov/site/oath/about/legal-resources-and-rule-making.page.
What authorizes OATH to make this rule? Sections 1048, 1049
and 1049-a of the New York City Charter authorize OATH to make this proposed rule. This proposed rule is included in OATHs regulatory agenda for this Fiscal Year.
Where can I find OATHs rules? OATHs rules are in Title 48 of the Rules of the City of New York.
What laws govern the rulemaking process? OATH must meet the requirements of Section 1043 of the New York City Charter when creating or changing rules. This notice is made according to the requirements of section 1043 of the New York City Charter.
Statement of Basis and Purpose of Proposed Rule The Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings OATH is proposing to add a new subdivision g to Section 6-23 of Title 48 of the Rules of the City of New York, and to make corresponding amendments to subdivisions e and f of such Section. The provisions codified in Chapter 6 of Title 48 of the Rules of the City of New York govern ECB adjudicatory proceedings, as well as other proceedings under the jurisdiction of the OATH Hearings Division.
Section 6-23 lists the requirements that an individual must meet in order to serve as a registered representative before the OATH
Hearings Division. Subdivision g would add an additional requirement: mandating that all registered representatives who appear before the OATH Hearings Division present valid governmentissued photo identification in order to file a notice of appearance for an in-person hearing, or to submit any motions in person including, but not limited to, requests to reschedule and motions to vacate a default.
This proposed rule would facilitate the investigation of fraudulent submissions to OATH by ensuring that photo identification illustrating the identity any person submitting a document to the OATH Hearings Division in person is recorded. This proposed rule amendment will also deter individuals from falsely claiming to be a respondents representative with authority to act on the respondents behalf at an in-person OATH hearing. This proposed rule represents one step in OATHs continuing efforts to identify and to stop impersonators, and thus protect the integrity of OATH proceedings.
