Sec.  28.20  Number of Pleadings, service and response.

    (a) Number. One original and seven copies of all pleadings (see 
definition in Sec.  28.3) must be filed with the Board. However, when 
before a single administrative judge, one original and three copies will 
be adequate unless informed otherwise.
    (b) Service. (1) The Board will serve copies of a petition upon the 
parties to the proceeding by mail and/or by facsimile. The Board will 
attach a service list indicating the names and addresses of the parties 
to the proceeding or their designated representatives. The Board will 
not serve copies of any pleadings, motions, or other submissions by the 
parties after the initial petition.
    (2) The parties shall serve on each other one copy of all pleadings 
other than the initial petition. Service shall be made by mailing, by 
facsimile or by delivering personally a copy of the pleading to each 
party on the service list previously provided by the Board. Each 
pleading must be accompanied by a certificate of service specifying how 
and when service was made. It shall be the duty of all parties to notify 
the Board and one another in writing of any changes in the names or 
addresses on the service list.
    (c) Time limitations for response to pleadings. Unless otherwise 
specified by the administrative judge or this subpart, a party shall 
file a response to a pleading within 20 days of the service of that 
pleading upon the party.
    (d) Size limitations are set forth at Sec.  28.9(b).
