(3) Subpoena. A subpoena for information available from the Program must be made out to the State of Oregon, Oregon Retirement Savings Program. The Program reserves the right to object to any subpoena on the grounds that the subpoena fails to provide a reasonable time for preparation and travel, is otherwise unreasonable or oppressive, or that service was improper, in addition to any other basis legally available. To facilitate prompt processing, copies of subpoenas should be served at the Office of the State Treasurer. Faxed subpoenas are not acceptable.
