**(b)** A person compelled to appear in person before an agency or representative thereof is entitled to be accompanied, represented, and advised by counsel or, if permitted by the agency, by other qualified representative. A party is entitled to appear in person or by or with counsel or other duly qualified representative in an agency proceeding. So far as the orderly conduct of public business permits, an interested person may appear before an agency or its responsible employees for the presentation, adjustment, or determination of an issue, request, or controversy in a proceeding, whether interlocutory, summary, or otherwise, or in connection with an agency function. With due regard for the convenience and necessity of the parties or their representatives and within a reasonable time, each agency shall proceed to conclude a matter presented to it. This subsection does not grant or deny a person who is not a lawyer the right to appear for or represent others before an agency or in an agency proceeding.

TITLE 5—GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION AND EMPLOYEES
§ 556
In subsection (a)(4), the word ‘‘naval’’ is omitted as
included in ‘‘military’’.
In subsection (a)(5), the word ‘‘or’’ is substituted for
‘‘and’’ since the exception is applicable if any one of
the factors are involved.
In subsection (a)(6), the word ‘‘worker’’ is substituted
for ‘‘employee’’, since the latter is defined in section
2105 as meaning Federal employees.
In subsection (b), the word ‘‘When’’ is substituted for
‘‘In instances in which’’.
In subsection (c)(2), the comma after the word ‘‘hear-
ing’’ is omitted to correct an editorial error.
In subsection (d), the words ‘‘The employee’’ and
‘‘such an employee’’ are substituted in the first two
sentences for ‘‘The same officers’’ and ‘‘such officers’’
in view of the definition of ‘‘employee’’ in section 2105.
The word ‘‘officer’’ is omitted in the third and fourth
sentences as included in ‘‘employee’’ as defined in sec-
tion 2105. The prohibition in the third and fourth sen-
tences is restated in positive form. In paragraph (C) of
the last sentence, the words ‘‘in any manner’’ are omit-
ted as surplusage.
Standard changes are made to conform with the defi-
nitions applicable and the style of this title as outlined
in the preface to the report.
