    (a) A party may appear--

    (1) Without counsel;

    (2) With an attorney; or

    (3) With other duly authorized representative.

    (b) Any attorney, or any other duly authorized representative, shall 

file a notice of appearance. The notice must indicate--

    (1) The name of the case, including docket number if assigned;

    (2) The person on whose behalf the appearance is made; and

    (3) The person's and the representative's mailing addresses and 

telephone numbers.

    (c) Any attorney or other duly authorized representative shall also 

file a notice, including the items listed in paragraph (a) of this 

section, for any withdrawal of appearance.

    (d) Any attorney shall be a member in good standing of the bar of 

the highest court of a State, the District of Columbia, or any territory 

or commonwealth of the United States. A personal representation of 

membership is sufficient proof, unless the ALJ orders more evidence.

    (e) Any person who would act as a duly authorized representative and 

who is not an attorney shall file a statement setting forth the basis of 

his or her authority to so act. The ALJ may deny appearance as 

representative to any person who, the ALJ finds, lacks the requisite 

character, integrity, or proper personal conduct.
