(a) All pleadings,
submittals, petitions, applications, charges, reports, maps, exceptions,
briefs, memorandums, and other papers required to be filed in any proceeding,

may be sent by mail or hand-carried to the appropriate office of the

inches in size except that tables, maps, charts, and other documents may be
larger, but shall be folded to the size of the documents to which they are
attached.
(c) All papers must be
signed in ink by the party or a duly authorized agent or attorney. The
signature shall constitute a certification that the party in interest has read
the document; that to the best of the party's knowledge, information, and
belief every statement contained in the document is true and no such statements
are misleading; and that the document is not interposed for delay.
(d) Unless otherwise specifically provided by
a particular rule or order of the department, an original and two copies of all
papers shall be filed.
