# §6101.15. Depositions [Rule 15].

- (a) **Generally.** Unless otherwise ordered, parties may take depositions after service of the answer. If the parties agree in writing on the deponent, time, place, recording method, and maximum duration of a deposition, no formal deposition notice is needed. The Board may order a deposition on motion under [Rule 8](/cfr/48/8.md) ([48 CFR 6101.8](/cfr/48/6101.8.md)) or by subpoena under [Rule 16](/cfr/48/16.md) ([48 CFR 6101.16](/cfr/48/6101.16.md)).
- (b) **Use.** Parties may use deposition testimony in a case to the extent that would be permitted by [Rule 32(a)](/cfr/48/32.md?p=a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
- (c) **To perpetuate testimony.** If the Board has decided a case, and either the time to appeal has not expired or an appeal has been taken, the Board may for good cause grant leave to take a deposition as if the case were still before the Board in order to preserve testimony for possible further proceedings before the Board.
