§ 197.9. Appearances.

 (a)  An individual may appear in a proceeding before the Hearing Board in his own behalf. A member of a partnership may represent the partnership; a bona fide officer of a corporation, trust or association may represent the corporation, trust or association; and an officer or employe of another agency or political subdivision may represent the agency or political subdivision in an appeal or petition before the Hearing Board. This subsection supersedes 1 Pa. Code §  31.21 (relating to appearance in person).

 (b)  A person may be represented in any proceeding by an attorney at law.

 (c)  Only attorneys currently admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania may practice before the Hearing Board unless they are associated in the proceeding with an attorney so admitted. This subsection supplements 1 Pa. Code §  31.22 (relating to appearance by attorney).

Appearance by attorneys not signing the initial document shall be by notice of appearance in the form indicated in §  197.10 (relating to form of notice of appearance). Subsequent to the filing of the notice of appearance, an additional notice or other written communication required to be served on or furnished to a person may be sent to the attorney of record for the person at the stated address of the attorney.
