You can search and retrieve documents that have been electronically filed. If you are interested in following a particular proceeding or industry or type of document, check out the Commission's proceeding Subscription Service.
In addition to formal pleadings, the electronic filing system will now allow parties to also submit (by uploading) supporting documents such as testimony, work papers, workshop reports, and other material. In specific proceedings, the Administrative Law Judge will direct the parties to submit (by uploading) supporting documents. These documents are not formally "filed" in the docket and are not part of the record of the proceeding unless they are accepted into the record by the Administrative Law Judge.
Please read the disclaimer before submitting/uploading any supporting documents. Instructions for using the supporting documents feature and an explanation of the naming conventions for supporting documents are also provided.
Before you start E-Filing you need:
- An e-mail Account to receive communications about your filing.
- An Internet connection. The faster your connection (DSL, cable, etc.) the better.
- A web browser. In Windows, Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome can be used.
- For the Macintosh, Safari, Firefox or Chrome are recommended.
- A program able to create PDF/A compliant documents. Adobe Acrobat 7.0 (or higher version) of Professional works. SCANNING DOCUMENTS IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED!
- Copy of the Rules of Practice and Procedure for the e-filing rules (Rule 1.13).
