representative subject to an order of exclusion or suspension, an

Administrative Law Judge, or the Secretary's designee in the case of a 
request for review, may in his or her discretion, reject, in whole or in 
part, any filing that fails to comply with any requirements of this 
subpart or of any order issued in the proceeding in which the filing was 
made. Any such filings shall not be part of the record. The
