A party filing any document not submitted in camera (see Rule 9(d)(2) (48 CFR 6101.9(d)(2))) shall send a copy to the other party by the same method as used for the filing or by a faster method. EDS automatically serves documents on parties with active EDS accounts to whom the Clerk has granted matter-specific access. For any documents not filed in EDS, including appeal file exhibits, the parties shall serve such documents. Parties shall certify to the Board:

1. (a) The method of filing; and
2. (b) The recipient's physical address or email address when filing outside of EDS. The Board may consider a document not served or not properly filed if served in a manner inconsistent with this rule.
