                            1As part of the Board’s efforts under the Government Paperwork Elim ination Act, signatures on                                     
                  papers originating from  the Board are being phased out in favor of a com pletely electronic record.                                         
                  Consequently, in this case papers originating at the Board will not have signatures.  The signature                                          
                  requirements for the parties have not changed.  See e.g., 37 C.F.R. § 10.18.
