mail to each party and amicus curiae at the last known address.
    (2) Service by others. A copy of each filed document shall be served 
on each party and each amicus curiae. Service shall be made upon counsel 
if a party is represented by counsel. Service on counsel shall 
constitute service on the party. Service may be made to the last known 
address by first-class mail or other more expeditious means, such as:
    (i) Hand delivery to the person to be served or a person of suitable 
age and discretion at the place of business, residence, or usual place 
of abode of the person to be served;
    (ii) Overnight delivery; or
    (iii) Facsimile transmission or electronic means. The ALJ may place 
appropriate limits on service by facsimile transmission or electronic 
means.
    (3) Certificate of service. Every document served shall be 
accompanied by a certificate of service containing a statement as to the 
date of service, the method of service, the parties served and the 
address at which they were served, which is signed and dated by the 
person making service.
    (b) Filing--(1) Method. All documents shall be filed with the Chief 
Docket Clerk. Filing may be by first class mail, delivery, facsimile 
transmission, or electronic means; however, the ALJ may place 
appropriate limits on filing by facsimile transmission or electronic 
means.
    (2) Form. Every pleading, motion, brief, or other document shall 
contain a caption setting forth the title of the proceeding, the docket 
number assigned by the Office of ALJs, and the designation of the type 
of document (e.g., charge, motion).
    (3) Signature. Every document filed by a party shall be signed by 
the party or the party's attorney and must include the signer's address 
and telephone number. The signature constitutes a certification that: 
the signer has read the document; to the best of the signer's knowledge, 
information and belief, the statements made therein are true; and the 
document is not interposed for delay.
