in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary can make rules and gather information from carriers and brokers. The Secretary can also subpoena witnesses and records, and take sworn depositions. This power matches what the Secretary of Transportation already has under section 32910(a)(1) of title 49.

To carry out subchapter I, subchapter II, this subchapter, and subchapter IV of this title, the Secretary — or someone the Secretary officially designates — may hold hearings, take testimony, meet at whatever times and places are needed, and administer oaths. The Secretary or that agent may also issue a subpoena requiring witnesses to appear and testify, and requiring the production of books, papers, correspondence, memos, contracts, agreements, or other records. This is the same subpoena power the Secretary of Transportation already has under section 32910(a)(1) of title 49.
