The objections must be supported by clear and concise reasons. A party must file an original and two (2) copies of the objections.

(b) Supporting evidence. The objecting party must file evidence, including signed statements, documents, and other materials supporting the objections, with the Regional Director within ten (10) days after the party files the objections.
