Except where otherwise specifically defined by law:
"Accepted for filing" ordinarily means a filing will be published in the commission's electronic filing system. Certain documents will be accepted for filing without being published in the commission's electronic filing system. A filing that has been accepted for filing can be rejected if found not to comply with a commission rule or order.
"Electronic filing" means the process of transmitting a document or collection of documents via the Internet to the commission's electronic filing system for the purpose of submitting the document for commission consideration.
"Electronic filing system" or "EFS" means the system used by the commission's customer service bureau to accept and publish documents filed electronically, and that allows the public and parties to view most documents filed with or issued by the commission.
"Guest user" means a person who uses EFS without a user ID and password. Guest users are able to view and file documents via EFS.
"Publish" means to make a document available for public viewing or download by uploading it to EFS.
"Registered user" means a person who has complied with the commission's requirements in rule 199-14.6 (17A,476) to obtain a user ID and password in order to submit filings for the commission's consideration through EFS.
