# §6106.612. Streamlined procedures [Rule 612].


The Board encourages parties to focus on providing only the information a panel needs to resolve an eligibility or repayment dispute. Examples of streamlining may include without limitation—

- (a) Electing not to supplement the materials already provided to FEMA, if (or to the extent) the existing record adequately frames the dispute;
- (b) Relying when possible on documents over other types of evidence;
- (c) Simplifying in person, virtual, or hybrid hearings by filing in advance written testimony, reports, or opening statements by some witnesses or party representatives;
- (d) Refraining from objecting to evidence without good cause; and
- (e) **Omitting duplicative and immaterial evidence and arguments.**
