must serve a copy of the request on the Director of OPM. In addition, 
when the implementation of a regulation is being challenged, the 
requester must also serve a copy of the request on the head of the

mail, by personal delivery, by facsimile, or by commercial delivery. 
Service by mail is accomplished by mailing the pleading to each party or 
representative, at the party's or representative's last known address. 
Service by facsimile is accomplished by transmitting the pleading by 
facsimile to each party or representative. Service by personal delivery 
or by commercial delivery is accomplished by delivering the pleading to 
the business office or home of each party or representative and leaving 
it with the party or representative, or with a responsible person at 
that address. Regardless of the method of service, the party serving the 
document must submit to the Board, along with the pleading, a 
certificate of service as proof that the document was served on the 
other parties or their representatives. The certificate of service must 
list the names and addresses of the persons on whom the pleading was 
served, must state the date on which the pleading was served, must state 
the method (i.e., mail, personal delivery, facsimile, or commercial 
delivery) by which service was accomplished, and must be signed by the 
person responsible for accomplishing service.
    (c) Electronic filing. Other than the initial request for a 
regulation review, pleadings in a regulation review proceeding may be 
filed with the Board and served upon other parties by electronic filing, 
provided the requirements of Sec.  1201.14 of this chapter are 
satisfied.
