    (a) Filing. The respondent's answer shall be filed in writing within 
the time specified in the complaint, unless on application the time is 
extended by the Director or the Administrative Law Judge. The answer 
shall be filed in duplicate with the Director.
    (b) Contents. The answer shall contain a statement of facts which 
constitute the grounds of defense, and it shall specifically admit or 
deny each allegation set forth in the complaint, except that the 
respondent shall not deny a material allegation in the complaint which 
he/she knows to be true, or state that he/she is without sufficient 
information to form a belief when in fact he/she possesses such 
information. The respondent may also state affirmatively special matters 
of defense.
    (c) Failure to deny or answer allegations in the complaint. Every 
allegation in the complaint which is not denied in the answer shall be 
deemed to be admitted and may be considered as proved, and no further 
evidence in respect of such allegation need be adduced at a hearing. 
Failure to file an answer within the time prescribed in the notice to 
the respondent, except as the time for answer is extended by the 
Director or the Administrative Law Judge, shall constitute an admission 
of the allegations of the complaint and a waiver of hearing, and the 
Administrative Law Judge may make his/her decision by default without a 
hearing or further procedure.
