granted for a first briefing extension will
generally be reduced from 21 days to 15
days, and the number of extension
requests granted will generally be
reduced from one per party to one per
case.
DATES: This notice is effective on
August 14, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
MaryBeth Keller, General Counsel,
Executive Office for Immigration
Review, 5107 Leesburg Pike, Suite 2600,
Falls Church, Virginia 22041; telephone
(703) 305–0470 (not a toll free call).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board
of Immigration Appeals (Board) has the
authority to set and extend briefing
deadlines in all cases pending before it.
8 CFR 1003.3(c). The regulations state
that in cases involving aliens in
custody, the parties shall be provided 21
days in which to file simultaneous
briefs unless a shorter period is
specified by the Board. Id. In cases
involving aliens who are not in custody,
the briefing period is also 21 days, but
the briefing period is sequential. Id. The
regulations state that the Board, upon
written motion, may extend the period
for filing a brief for up to 90 days for
good cause shown. Id. While the
regulations do not limit the briefing
extension period any further, the Board
has established a policy for briefing
extension requests in the Board of
Immigration Appeals Practice Manual.\
The Board Practice Manual provides
that the filing of an extension request
does not automatically extend the
briefing deadline, and until the Board
affirmatively grants an extension
request, the existing deadline still
stands. Practice Manual Chapter 4.7(c).
Prior to the publication of this Notice,
the Practice Manual did not distinguish
between detained and non-detained
aliens with regard to briefing extension
requests. The Practice Manual provided
that, as a matter of policy, the Board
would grant one extension per party,
and that party was given an additional
21 days in which to file a briefs
regardless of the time requested.
Practice Manual Chapter 4.7(c)(i). Those
21 days were added to the original filing
deadline for both parties.
In an effort to further reduce the
amount of time a detained alien is in
proceedings, the Board is revising this
general policy and procedure. In the
future, when an alien is in detention,
the Board will, as a matter of policy and
procedure, ordinarily grant one
extension request per case for 15 days.
A first extension request from either
party, if granted, will extend the briefing
deadline for both parties. If the
opposing party thereafter submits an
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:44 Jul 13, 2006
Jkt 208001
extension request, it will be considered
a second extension request. As noted in
the Board Practice Manual, second
extension requests are only granted in
rare circumstances. The Board’s policy
as set forth in Practice Manual Chapter
4.7(c)(i) will accordingly be amended to
reflect this change.
At present, because briefing is
simultaneous, extension requests from
both parties are often filed within days
of each other. The result is that the
Board routinely and unnecessarily
grants two extension requests. The
Board’s new general policy will be to
limit briefing extensions to one per case
for detained aliens due to difficulties
with administering briefing requests
from both parties. This change will
eliminate these unintended delays. The
Board will continue to accept reply
briefs filed within 14 days after
expiration of the briefing schedule,
though the Board will not suspend or
delay adjudication of the appeal in
anticipation of the filing of a reply brief.
Dated: July 6, 2006.

Chairman, Board of Immigration Appeals.

the Federal Employees’ Compensation
Act (FECA), 5 U.S.C. 8101, et seq., the
Black Lung Benefits Act (BLBA), 30
U.S.C. 901 et seq. and the Energy
Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act of 2000

three of these statutes require that
OWCP pay for medical treatment of
beneficiaries; BLBA also requires that
OWCP pay for medical examinations
and related diagnostic services to

that statute. In order to determine
whether billed amounts are appropriate,
OWCP needs to identify the patient, the
injury or illness that was treated or
diagnosed, the specific services that are
rendered and their relationship to the
work-related injury or illness. The
regulations implementing these statutes
require the use of Form OWCP–1500 for
