detailed to, the Departmental Appeals Board the authority to conduct 
hearings and to render decisions with respect to the imposition of 
civil remedies, including civil monetary penalties, assessments, and 
exclusions from program participation. This delegation includes, but is 
not limited to, the authority to administer oaths and affirmations, to 
subpoena witnesses and documents, to examine witnesses, to exclude or 
receive and give appropriate weight to materials and testimony offered
