12-180-10 Me. Code R. § 9
If the Board causes the proceedings to be transcribed, the court reporter producing the transcript shall make copies available to the parties to the proceeding upon request and prompt tender of the appropriate fee. Requests for transcripts must be made to the courtreporter. The Board's copy of the transcript is available for inspection, but not copying, by the parties. Transcripts prepared at the directive of the Board or its executive director are the official transcripts of the Board proceeding. A party to a Board hearing seeking to have the hearing transcribed may, with prior approval of the Board, make arrangements for transcription by a qualified court reporter. If such arrangements are made and a transcript is produced, a copy must be furnished to the Board without cost and to the other parties upon request and tender of the appropriate fee. A transcript prepared at the request of a party may, at the discretion of the Board, be reviewed by the Board for accuracy and, if approved by the Board, deemed the official transcript.
