By order dated June 26, the Commission amended several of its rules concerning the filing of documents with the Commission. The order can be accessed here.

The key changes to note are:

1. While original documents filed with the Commission can continue to be one-sided, it appears as though all required copies filed with the Commission must now be two-sided.

2. Filers no longer need to submit a diskette or a CD with proposed orders and briefs. Instead, proposed orders and briefs that are filed must also be emailed as attachments in Word or ASCII text format to briefs@ncuc.net.

3. The number of required copies set out in Rules R8-64 (CPCN applications) and R8-65 (reports of construction) and R8-66 (registrations) have been reduced.
