D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 15, r. 15-100
The Office of the Commission Secretary shall maintain the official docketing system for the Commission.
The docketing system shall contain records and documents available for public inspection. Public inspection may be either on the Commission's website or in person at the Office of the Commission Secretary during normal office hours. Confidential or proprietary records and documents are not available for public inspection. The rules governing confidential or proprietary records and documents are contained in Section 150. Access to all filings in the Office of the Commission Secretary is subject to reasonable limitations, including extraordinary circumstances, or when inspection would interfere with the normal operation of the Office of the Commission Secretary. Persons requesting copies of any filing or other written matter within the possession and/or custody of the Commission from the Office of the Commission Secretary may be subject to a per page copying fee.
All documents filed with the Commission shall be addressed to the Commission Secretary and filed with the Office of the Commission Secretary.
The Commission shall be open each business day except Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
All documents shall be filed electronically, including documents containing confidential or proprietary information, with the exception of documents containing "critical infrastructure information" (CII) and documents filed on electronic storage devices such as flash drives or compact disks (CDs). Documents containing CII must be filed with the Commission as one hard copy and shall clearly state in bold, capitalized letters that the filing contains CII. Documents filed on electronic storage devices shall include a table of contents, list of the data, or other description of the data stored on the device. To file documents electronically with the Commission, filers must first complete an online registration form on the eDocket System.
All filings shall comply with the requirements set forth in the Commission's rules and shall be accompanied by a cover letter indicating the title of the document or type of filing; the case or docket number and caption, if already assigned; and the name, street address, e-mail address, and telephone number of the person making the filing.
The Commission may, at any time, reject all or any part of a filing that does not conform with the requirements of the Commission's rules under this chapter. If any filing, or part thereof, is rejected, the document or the part thereof will be deemed not to have been accepted for filing with the Commission.
When a confidential or proprietary document is filed, the corresponding public version shall be filed concurrently.
All documents filed electronically shall be considered filed when the Commission has received the electronic filing, consistent with Subsection 100.10, unless the electronic filing has been rejected under Subsection 100.12.
Documents may be filed electronically twenty- four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. All documents filed electronically shall be considered as timely filed and will be docketed, consistent with Subsection 100.9, if filed by 5:30 p.m. If a filing is received after 5:30 p.m. on a business day or at any time on a non-business day, it shall be docketed on the next business day.
Persons that file documents electronically shall receive an electronic acknowledgment of their filing from the Office of the Commission Secretary once file transmission is complete.
After reviewing an electronic filing to ensure that it meets the Commission's electronic filing requirements, the Office of the Commission Secretary shall send a notice of acceptance or a notice of rejection. If the filing does not meet the Commission's requirements, then the Office of the Commission Secretary shall send a notice of rejection explaining the reason(s) for rejection.
