(a) Scope. The parts in this chapter address different types of matters brought before the Board. The rules in each part apply only to matters brought under that part unless otherwise specified. Board judges also preside in matters not covered by this chapter.

(b) Effective date. Unless otherwise provided in a part of this chapter the rules of this chapter govern cases filed with the Board on or after February 27, 2026, and all further proceedings in cases then pending, unless the Board decides that using the rules in this chapter in a case pending on their effective date would be inequitable or infeasible.

(c) Use of Electronic Docketing System (EDS). Some, but not all, of the matters covered by this chapter require parties to submit certain filings in EDS (see Rule 1(b) (48 CFR 6101.1(b))). The matters requiring filing in EDS are set forth in the applicable parts and are posted on the Board's website: https://www.cbca.gov.
