20:10:01:02.05Filing of documents.

Unless otherwise allowed by statute, rule, or commission order and as provided below, any document filed with the commission must be filed electronically as a .pdf file via the commission's website. If the document is unable to be filed as a .pdf file, the document must be filed using another widely used file format. If a person is requesting confidential treatment of any information, that information must be filed electronically as a separate document and the confidential designation must be noted in the subject line of the electronic filing. If a person is unable to file the document electronically due to technical reasons or lack of electronic filing capabilities, the person must file the original document with the commission by mail or hand delivery. These filing requirements apply to all documents unless otherwise specified in this article or required by the commission. Any document for consideration by the commission must be filed at least twenty-four hours prior to the commission meeting or hearing during which the document is to be considered, unless good cause is offered by the filing party for the delay or unless otherwise ordered by the commission.
