Sec. 1201.26  Number of pleadings, service, and response.

    (a) Number. The appellant must file two copies of both the appeal 
and all attachments with the appropriate Board office.
    (b) Service--(1) Service by the Board. The appropriate office of the 
Board will mail a copy of the appeal to each party to the proceeding 
other than the appellant. It will attach to each copy a service list, 
consisting of a list of the names and addresses of the parties to the 
proceeding or their designated representatives.
    (2) Service by the parties. The parties must serve on each other one 
copy of each pleading, as defined by Sec. 1201.4(b), and all documents 
submitted with it, except for the initial appeal. They may do so by 
mail, by facsimile, by personal delivery, or by commercial overnight 
delivery to each party and to each representative. A certificate of 
service stating how and when service was made must accompany each 
pleading. The parties must notify the appropriate Board office and one 
another, in writing, of any changes in the names or addresses on the 
service list.
    (c) Paper size. Pleadings and attachments must be filed on 8 1/2 by 
11-inch paper, except for good cause shown. This requirement enables the 
Board to comply with standards established for U.S. courts.
