[ENDNOTES]

1 On April 17, 1996, a Secretary's Order was signed delegating jurisdiction to issue final agency decisions under this statute and these regulations to the newly created Administrative Review Board. 61 Fed. Reg. 19978 (May 3, 1996)(copy attached).

Secretary's Order 2-96 contains a comprehensive list of the statutes, executive order and regulations under which the Board now issues final agency decisions. A copy of the final procedural revisions to the regulations (61 Fed. Reg. 19982), implementing this reorganization is also attached.

2 Pleadings are expected to conform to the page limitations and should be prepared in Courier 12 point, 10 character-per-inch type or larger, with minimum one inch left and right margins and minimum 1.25 inch top and bottom margins, printed on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper. This requirement is necessary because some parties have attempted to evade the page limits of previous briefing schedules.
