Sec. 15.115  Affidavits.

    An affidavit, intended to be used as evidence without cross-
examination of the affiant, will be filed and served on the parties at 
least 15 days prior to the hearing; and not less than seven days prior 
to hearing a party may file and serve written objections to any 
affidavit on the ground that he believes it necessary to test the truth 
of assertions therein by cross-examination. In such event, the affidavit 
objected to will not be received in evidence unless the affiant is made 
available for cross-examination at the hearing or otherwise as 
prescribed by the hearing officer. In absence of an objection being 
filed within the time specified, such affidavit will be received in 
evidence.
