In addition, the Sanction Authority or the Hearings Officer may subpoena documents when relevant.

(3) The offender may present witnesses who have relevant information, and has the right to confront the persons or witnesses who have presented information against the offender.

(4) The Hearings Officer or Sanction Authority may deny confrontation of witnesses by the offender if that confrontation would subject the witness to the risk of harm.

(5) If the Hearings Officer or Sanction Authority denies confrontation of witnesses, the Hearings Officer or Sanction Authority shall state the reason(s) for the decision and conduct an independent examination of the witness on the record.
