Section 3 AAC 110.700 - Filing with the commission(a) The filing of documents with the commission as allowed or required by this chapter or by order of the commission is made by filing them with the commission staff at the commission's offices. Unless otherwise required by this chapter or ordered by the commission, documents may be filed by hand delivery, United States mail, electronic mail, or facsimile transmission. The commission requests that a document filed by electronic mail be in searchable portable document format (.pdf).(b) A document filed with the commission is complete upon receipt of the entire document by the commission. Filing that occurs in whole or in part after 4:30 p.m. is considered to have occurred at the opening of business on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or state holiday.(c) For a document to be considered timely filed under requirements of this chapter or an order of the commission, the document must be filed with the commission on or before the deadline set under (b) and (e) of this section. For good cause shown, the commission chair will consider a request to accept a late-filed document.(d) The original of a document served by electronic mail or facsimile transmission must be submitted to the commission within 10 days after the submission of the filing by either electronic method.(e) The time in which to perform an act required or permitted under this chapter is computed by excluding the first day and including the last, unless the last day is a Saturday, Sunday, or state holiday. If the last day is a Saturday, Sunday, or state holiday, that day is excluded and the act shall be performed on or before the end of the next state business day.Eff. 1/9/2008, Register 185
