Decision Question
Should Engineer A affirmatively disclose both his paid retainer from the coal bed methane company and his non-licensure in State Y at the outset of testimony, or limit his disclosure to the licensure caveat while testifying under his DOE-branded presentation?
Focus
Engineer A: Dual-Role Capacity and Financial Relationship Disclosure at State Y Regulatory Hearing
Option1
At the opening of testimony, affirmatively state both that he is retained and compensated by the coal bed methane company and that he is appearing in a private consulting capacity distinct from his U.S. DOE employment, in addition to disclosing his State X licensure limitation.
Option2
Disclose only the State X licensure limitation at the outset — satisfying the explicit procedural expectation of the forum — and rely on the 'I am testifying on my own behalf' response to address any direct questions about DOE representation, treating financial relationship disclosure as required only if the forum's rules expressly mandate it.
Option3
Present credentials and testimony without volunteering the retainer relationship at the outset, but commit to fully disclosing the consulting relationship and compensation if the regulatory body or opposing parties directly ask about financial affiliations with the regulated industry.
