43 C.F.R. § 4.114 Settling of the record.
Title 43 - Public Lands: Interior
(a) A case submitted on the record pursuant to §4.112 shall be ready for decision when the parties are so notified by the Board. A case which is heard shall be ready for decision upon receipt of transcript, or upon receipt of briefs when briefs are to be submitted. At any time prior to the date that a case is ready for decision, either party, upon notice to the other, may supplement the record with documents and exhibits deemed relevant and material by the Board. The Board upon its own initiative may call upon either party, with appropriate notice to the other, for evidence deemed by it to be relevant and material. The weight to be attached to any evidence of record will rest within the sound discretion of the Board. Either party at any stage of the proceeding, on notice to the other party, may object to the relevancy or materiality of documents in the record or offered into the record. (b) The Board record shall consist of the appeal file described in §4.104(b) and any additional material, pleadings, prehearing briefs, record of prehearing, or presubmission conferences, depositions, interrogatories, admissions, transcripts of hearing, hearing exhibits, and posthearing briefs, as may thereafter be developed pursuant to these rules. In deciding appeals the Board, in addition to considering the Board record, may take official notice of facts within general knowledge. (c) This record will at all times be available for inspection by the parties at an appropriate time and place. In the interest of convenience, prior arrangements for inspection of the file should be made with the Recorder of the Board. Copies of material in the record may be furnished to appellant as provided in part 2 of this subtitle.
