Timely filing of references: ensure submissions meet prescribed advance periods to avoid provisional filings and wasted effort.

Delay by Commissioners in submitting proposals for references and leave petitions has resulted in reports arriving with inadequate time margins or without indicated limitation periods, causing provisional filings, additional correspondence, and wasted effort. The Board reiterates the prior circular's timelines and directs Commissioners to process and forward reference and appeal reports promptly and strictly within the prescribed advance periods, and to furnish assurances of compliance.
