Preliminary Conference. (a) Upon his own motion, or the mo- tion of a party, the administrative law judge may direct the parties to meet with him for a conference or con- ferences to consider:
(1) Simplification of the issues;
(2) The necessity or desirability of amendments to documents for purposes of clarification, simplification, or limi- tation;
(3) Stipulations of fact, and of the au- thenticity, of the contents of docu- ments;

(b) The administrative law judge shall enter an order which recites the action taken at the conference, the amendments allowed to any documents which have been filed, and the agree- ments made between the parties as to any of the matters considered. Such order shall limit the issues for hearing to those not disposed of by admissions or agreements, and control the subse- quent course of the hearing, unless modified at the hearing to prevent manifest injustice.
Preliminary Conference. The parties and their representatives will, prior to the mediation, participate in a preliminary conference convened by the mediator to discuss and agree upon:
