the permission of the person receiving the charge, service may be made 
by facsimile transmission or by any other agreed-upon method.
    (b) Service as courtesy by Regional Director. The Regional Director 
will, as a matter of courtesy, cause a copy of such charge to be served

of service of the same. However, whether serving by facsimile, by 
regular mail, or otherwise, the Regional Director shall not be deemed to 
assume responsibility for such service.
    (c) Date of service of charge. In the case of service of a charge by
