PART 1203--PROCEDURES FOR REVIEW OF RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1203.14  Serving documents.

    (a) Parties. In every case, the person requesting regulation review 
must serve a copy of the request on the Director of OPM. In addition, 
when the implementation of a regulation is being challenged, the 
requester must also serve a copy of the request on the head of the 
implementing agency. A copy of all other pleadings must be served, by 
the person submitting the pleading, on each other party to the 
proceeding.
    (b) Method of serving documents. Pleadings may be served on parties 
by mail, by personal delivery, by facsimile, or by commercial overnight 
delivery. Service by mail is accomplished by mailing the pleading to 
each party or representative, at the party's or representative's last 
known address. Service by facsimile is accomplished by transmitting the 
pleading by facsimile to each party or representative. Service by 
personal delivery or by commercial overnight delivery is accomplished by 
delivering the pleading to the business office or home of each party or 
representative and leaving it with the party or representative, or with 
a responsible person at that address. Regardless of the method of 
service, the party serving the document must submit to the Board, along 
with the pleading, a certificate of service as proof that the document 
was served on the other parties or their representatives. The 
certificate of service must list the names and addresses of the persons 
on whom the pleading was served, must state the date on which the 
pleading was served, must state the method (i.e., mail, personal 
delivery, facsimile, or commercial overnight delivery) by which service 
was accomplished, and must be signed by the person responsible for 
accomplishing service.
