(a) Representatives of the CBB may make onsite visits at the premises of the stablecoin issuer.

(c) The CBB may request the stablecoin issuer to attend meetings at the CBB’s premises or elsewhere;
(d) The CBB may seek information or request documents by telephone, at meetings or in writing, including electronic communication;
