§ 4.109 Hearing—election.
Within 15 days after the Government's answer has been served upon the appellant, or within 20 days of the date upon which the Board enters a general denial on behalf of the Government, notification as to whether one or both of the parties desire an oral hearing on the appeal should be given to the Board. In the event either party requests an oral hearing, the Board will schedule the same as hereinafter provided. In the event both parties waive an oral hearing, the Board, unless it directs an oral hearing, will decide the appeal on the record before it, supplemented as it may permit or direct. A party failing to elect an oral hearing within the time limitations specified in this section may be deemed to have submitted its case on the record.
