18 U.S.C. § 6004 — Certain administrative proceedings

(a) If a person has been called, or may be called, to testify or provide other information, in a proceeding before a federal agency^*, the agency may, with the Attorney General's approval and under subsection (b), order the person to give testimony or information the person refused because of the privilege against self-incrimination. The order takes effect as section 6002 provides. (b) An agency may issue the order only if it judges that: (1) the person's testimony or other information may be necessary in the public interest; and (2) the person has refused, or is likely to refuse, to testify or provide other information because of the privilege against self-incrimination. This section does not define the quoted term.
