Sec. 747.37  Post-hearing filings.

    (a) Proposed findings and conclusions and supporting briefs. (1) 
Using the same method of service for each party, the administrative law 
judge shall serve notice upon each party that the certified transcript, 
together with all hearing exhibits and exhibits introduced but not 
admitted into evidence at the hearing, has been filed. Any party may 
file with the administrative law judge proposed findings of fact, 
proposed conclusions of law, and a proposed order within 30 days 
following service of this notice by the administrative law judge or 
within such longer period as may be ordered by the administrative law 
judge.
    (2) Proposed findings and conclusions must be supported by citation 
to any relevant portions of the record. A post-hearing brief may be 
filed in support of proposed findings and conclusions, either as part of 
the same document or in a separate document. Any party who fails to file 
timely with the administrative law judge any proposed finding or 
conclusion is deemed to have waived the right to raise in any subsequent 
filing or submission any issue not addressed in such party's proposed 
finding or conclusion.
    (b) Reply briefs. Reply briefs may be filed within 15 days after the 
date on which the parties' proposed findings, conclusions, and order are 
due. Reply

arguments raised in another party's papers. A party who has not filed 
proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law or a post-hearing brief 
may not file a reply brief.
    (c) Simultaneous filing required. The administrative law judge shall 
not order the filing by any party of any brief or reply brief in advance 
of the other party's filing of its brief.
