(1)
The petitioner’s identification number (e.g., Social Security number or employer identification number) and current mailing address.
(2)
A statement whether any dispute exists between the parties regarding either the fact or amount of interest payable in respect of the overpayment determined by the Court and, if such a dispute exists, clear and concise lettered statements of the facts regarding the dispute and the petitioner’s position in respect of each disputed matter.
(3)
A copy of the Court’s decision which determined the overpayment, together with a copy of any stipulation referred to therein and any computation filed pursuant to Rule

Response by Commissioner:
Within 30 days after service of a motion filed pursuant to this Rule, the Commissioner shall file a written response. The response shall specifically admit or deny each allegation set forth in the petitioner’s motion. If a dispute exists between the parties regarding either the fact or amount of interest payable in respect of the overpayment determined by the Court, then the Commissioner’s response shall also include clear and concise statements of the facts regarding the dispute and the Commissioner’s position in respect of each disputed matter. If the Commissioner agrees with the petitioner’s request for a hearing, or if the Commissioner requests a hearing, then the response shall include a statement of the Commissioner’s reasons why the motion cannot be disposed of without a hearing. If the Commissioner opposes the petitioner’s request for a hearing, then the response shall include a statement of the reasons why no hearing is required.
(d)
Disposition of Motion:
