ordering medical examinations, or taking such other action as may be
necessary or appropriate to further develop the claim. If, after filing
a claim, the claimant moves to another compensation district, the
district director may, upon request by the claimant or the employer and
with the approval of
the Director, transfer the case to such other compensation district.
(b) The district director making the transfer may by letter or

advice, comments, suggestions, or directions if appropriate to the
particular case. The transfer of cases shall be by registered or
certified mail. All interested parties shall be advised of the transfer.
