Judge's initial decision (or such additional time as the Assistant 
Secretary may allow), together with supporting reasons for such 
exceptions. Blanket appeals shall not be received. Impertinent or 
scandalous matter may be stricken by the Assistant Secretary, or an 
appeal containing such matter or lacking in specification of exceptions 
may be dismissed.

review of the Administrative Law Judge's initial decision by the 
Assistant Secretary on his own motion, such initial decision shall 
become the decision of the Assistant Secretary.
