Section 105.116  Agency or OSFM Record Filing

a)         The State agency must file with the Board the entire record of the Agency's or OSFM's decision, as applicable, within 30 days after the filing of the petition for review, unless this Part provides otherwise, or the Board or hearing officer orders a different filing date.  If the Agency or OSFM wishes to seek additional time to file its record, it must file a request for extension before the date on which its record is due to be filed.  Under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.302(h)(2), each agency must file its record through COOL or on compact disk or other portable electronic data storage device and, to the extent technically feasible, in text-searchable Adobe PDF.  The record also must meet the requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.Subpart J.

b)         The Agency record or OSFM record, as applicable, must be arranged in chronological sequence, or by category of material and chronologically within each category, and must be sequentially numbered with the letter "R" placed before the number of each page.  This page number must appear in the top right corner of each page.  The Agency record or OSFM record must be certified by the applicable State agency.  The certification must be entitled "Certificate of Record on Appeal".  The Certificate must contain an index that lists the documents comprising the Agency record or OSFM record and shows the page numbers upon which each document starts and ends.  The Certificate of Record must be served on all parties by the State agency.
