technical amendments:
PART 2200—RULES OF PROCEDURE
1. The authority citation for part 2200
continues to read as follows:
Authority: 29 U.S.C. 661(g), unless
otherwise noted.
Section 2200.96 is also issued under 28
U.S.C. 2112(a).
2. Amend § 2200.7 by adding
paragraph (c)(5) and revising paragraphs
(o)(1) and (2) to read as follows:
§ 2200.7 Service, notice, and posting.
* * * * *
(c) * * *
(5) Non-E-Filed Documents.
Documents required to be served upon
other counsel or parties but that are not
filed with the Commission in the
Commission’s E-File System (such as
discovery documents served pursuant to
§ 2200.52(j)) may be served by any
means agreed to by all parties in
writing.
* * * * *
(o) * * *
(1) Service on parties and intervenors
using Commission’s E-File System.
Service of show cause orders shall be
deemed completed by service through
the Commission’s E-File System on a
representative who has entered an
appearance for a party or intervenor
under § 2200.23 or on a self-represented
party or intervenor who has not been
exempted from using the Commission’s
E-File System. See also § 2200.101(a).
(2) Service on self-represented parties
or intervenors exempted from using the
Commission’s E-File System. In addition
to the service methods permitted by
§ 2200.7(c), the Commission or the
Judge shall serve a show cause order on
a self-represented party or intervenor
who has been exempted from using the
Commission’s E-File System by certified
mail or by any other method (including
commercial delivery service) that
provides confirmation of delivery to the
addressee’s record address provided
under § 2200.6.
3. Amend § 2200.8 by revising
paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) to read as
follows:
§ 2200.8 Filing.
* * * * *
(c) * * *
(1) Mandatory e-filing. All parties and
intervenors must file documents
electronically in the Commission’s E-
File System by following the
instructions on the Commission’s
website (www.oshrc.gov), unless a self-
represented party or intervenor is able
to claim that complying with this
paragraph will place an undue burden
upon that party or intervenor under
paragraph (c)(2) of this section or the
documents are exempt from e-filing
under paragraph (c)(5) of this section.
Documents may not be filed with the
Commission or the Judge via email.
(2) Undue burden. Self-represented
parties or intervenors may submit a
written statement to the Judge
requesting an exemption from the
mandatory e-filing requirement on the
grounds that it would place an undue
burden on them to comply with the
requirement. If the Judge grants an
exemption, exempted self-represented
parties or intervenors must file
documents by postage-prepaid first class
or higher class U.S. Mail, commercial
delivery service, personal delivery, or
facsimile transmission as described in
paragraph (d) of this section.
* * * * *
4. Amend § 2200.100 by revising the
third sentence of paragraph (c) to read
as follows:
§ 2200.100 Settlement.
* * * * *
(c) * * * The parties shall also file a
draft order terminating the proceedings
for adoption by the Judge or, if the
Judge’s report has been issued, by the
Commission. * * *

Chairman.
