Search 43 U.S.C. § 105 : US Code - Section 105: Depositions of witnesses residing outside county

Whenever the witness resides outside the county in which the
hearing occurs any party to the proceeding may take the testimony
of such witness in the county of such witness's residence in the
form of depositions by giving ten days' written notice of the time
and place of taking such depositions to the opposite party or
parties. The depositions may be taken before any United States
magistrate judge, notary public, judge, or clerk of a court of
record. Subpoenas for witnesses before the officer taking
depositions may issue from the office of the officer designated by
the Secretary of the Interior or may be issued by the officer
taking the depositions, and disobedience thereof, as defined in
section 104 of this title, shall also be punished; and the witness
shall receive the same fees and mileage and be subject to the same
penalties in all respects as in case of violation of a subpoena to
appear before the officer designated by the Secretary of the
Interior and subject to the same limitations. The fees of the
officer taking the depositions shall be the same as those allowed
in the State or Territorial courts, and shall be paid by the party
taking the deposition, and an itemized account of the fees shall be
made by the officer taking the depositions and attached to the
depositions.
