In addition, the Board may include other materials (such as evidence submitted in another appeal) after the parties are given notice and an opportunity to comment.
Terms Used In 45 CFR 16.21

- Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
(b) The Board will promptly notify the parties in writing of any disposition of a case and the basis for the disposition.
