The notice must include:
The tentative time, place and nature of the hearing;
The legal authority and jurisdiction under which the hearing is to be held;
The matters of fact and law to be asserted;
A description of the procedures for the conduct of the hearing;
The name, address, and telephone number of the defendant's representative and the representative for the Corporation; and
Such other matters as the ALJ deems appropriate.
The six-year statute of limitation may be extended by agreement of the parties.
