# §955.8. (Rule 8) Hearing request.


As directed by the Board, each party must state whether it wants to have the appeal decided after a hearing or on the written record without a hearing. See Rules [11](/cfr/39/11.md) and [17](/cfr/39/17.md). A party's hearing request should state where and when it wants the hearing to be conducted. After considering the parties' requests, the Board will decide whether to hold a hearing. If the Board decides to hold a hearing, it will also determine the time and place of the hearing.
