Section 407-120-10 - EFFECT OF FAILURE TO COMPLY
A.Defective Filing. Any filing, including a notification of intent to file a general rate case, which is not in compliance with the requirements of this Rule or is not accompanied by the information required by this Rule is a defective filing. Within fifteen (15) days after receiving a defective filing, the Administrative Director or the Assistant Administrative Director must notify the public utility of the defect or defects and whether the filing is nevertheless in substantial compliance with the requirements of this Rule.
B.Filing Date.
1. The filing date of a filing which is in compliance with this Rule is the date the filing is received by the Commission.
2. The filing date of a defective filing which the Administrative Director or Assistant Administrative Director determines to be in substantial compliance with this Rule is the date the filing was originally received by the Commission, if the public utility cures the defects within fifteen (15) days of the notification.
3. The filing date of any other defective filing is the date the last document is received by the Commission which removes the defect or makes the filing complete.
C.Further Review of Sufficiency. A determination by the Commission, the Administrative Director, or the Assistant Administrative Director that a filing is in compliance with the requirements of this Rule shall not prevent the Commission from subsequently finding, on its own motion or the motion of any party, that the filing is defective or in need of revision.
