Definitions.
As used in this section:

document that is 100 pages or more in length.
(b)
General requirement. All
documents shall be filed with the Authority in both electronic and paper form.
The requirement to file in electronic form is waived for (1) documents
available to the filer only in paper form, and (2) filers who are unable to
file electronically. The requirement to file in paper form is waived for
documents for which no paper form is technically feasible or practical. If the
filer submits a corrected version of a filed document, the filer shall also
submit the required number of paper copies and a corrected electronic version
of such document. This subsection shall not apply to the filing of protected
materials.
(c)
Place of
filing.
(1) Electronic copies may be
submitted under the Authority web filing system via the Authority's website
"http:/www.ct.gov/pura". If web filing is not possible, electronic copies may
be (A) delivered electronically to pura.executivesecretary@ct.gov; or (B)
submitted on a cd-rom or other electronic storage medium acceptable to the
Authority and delivered to the Authority's executive secretary, at Ten Franklin
Square, New Britain, Connecticut 06051.
(2) Paper copies shall be delivered to the
Executive Secretary, Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, at Ten Franklin
Square, New Britain, Connecticut 06051.

medium acceptable to the Authority shall be labeled with the following
information: the docket number, if any; the name of the filer; the name of the
company if different from the filer; the type of filing; the document format;
and the filing date.
(3) Each
electronic version of a document shall be formatted to be compatible with the
computer programs used by the Authority and free of defects and viruses. All
documents filed electronically shall be capable of being transferred to
electronic storage media, without loss of content or material alteration of
appearance. Hyperlinks to external websites are permissible; however, a
hyperlink is not itself a part of the official filed document and each

Authority shall make available on its website information regarding compatible
computer programs.

Identification of document. The front page of each document filed
with the Authority shall prominently display the filer's name, address,

proceeding to which a docket number has been assigned shall also include the
number and title of the docket.

Bulk documents. Each bulk and extreme bulk document shall be
separately collated and conspicuously labeled as bulk or extreme bulk. The
filer shall identify in a cover letter each bulk or extreme bulk document that
is being filed.
(g)
Number of
copies. To file a document, the filer shall submit the original document
along with one electronic copy and eight paper copies of such document, except
