Sec. 102.42  Filings of briefs and proposed findings with the 
administrative law judge and oral argument at the hearing.

    Any party shall be entitled, upon request, to a reasonable period at 
the close of the hearing for oral argument, which may include 
presentation of proposed findings and conclusions, and shall be included 
in the stenographic report of the hearing. In the discretion of the 
administrative law judge, any party may, upon request made before the 
close of the hearing, file a brief or proposed findings and conclusions, 
or both, with the administrative law judge, who may fix a reasonable 
time for such filing, but not in excess of 35 days from the close of the 
hearing. Requests for further extensions of time shall be made to the 
chief administrative law judge in Washington, D.C., to the associate 
chief judge in San Francisco, California, to the associate chief judge 
in New York, New York, or to the

associate chief judge in Atlanta, Georgia, as the case may be. Notice of 
the request for any extension shall be immediately served on all other 
parties, and proof of service shall be furnished. Three copies of the 
brief or proposed findings and conclusions shall be filed with the 
administrative law judge, and copies shall be served on the other 
parties, and a statement of such service shall be furnished. In any case 
in which the administrative law judge believes that written briefs or 
proposed findings of fact and conclusions may not be necessary, he or 
she shall notify the parties at the opening of the hearing or as soon 
thereafter as practicable that he or she may wish to hear oral argument 
in lieu of briefs.
