                    TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS: INTERIOR
 
PART 4--DEPARTMENT HEARINGS AND APPEALS PROCEDURES--Table of Contents
 
   Subpart C--Special Rules of Practice Before the Interior Board of 
                            Contract Appeals
 
Sec. 4.109  Hearing--election.

    Within 15 days after the Government's answer has been served upon 
the appellant, or within 20 days of the date upon which the Board enters 
a general denial on behalf of the Government, notification as to whether 
one or both of the parties desire an oral hearing on the appeal should 
be given to the Board. In the event either party requests an oral 
hearing, the Board will schedule the same as hereinafter provided. In 
the event both parties waive an oral hearing, the Board, unless it 
directs an oral hearing, will decide the appeal on the record before it, 
supplemented as it may permit or direct. A party failing to elect an 
oral hearing within the time limitations specified in this section may 
be deemed to have submitted its case on the record.
