The Regulatory Commission of Alaska Adopts Electronic Filing Regulations.
On June 15, 2011, the Commission adopted electronic filing regulations in Docket R-09-004.
These regulations require mandatory electronic filing in all docket proceedings, with an
opportunity for waiver (see 3 AAC 48.095).
Among other things, these regulations have also
amended the Commission’s service requirements (see 3 AAC 48.090(b)), motion practice (see
3
AAC 48.091) and pleading requirements (see 3 AAC 48.100). The electronic filing of any
confidential record is strictly prohibited.
These regulations are not effective until they are signed into law by the Lt. Governor. Anyone
seeking to submit a filing to the Commission, should do so in accordance with the current filing
and service requirements found in the Alaska Statutes (AS 42.05) and Alaska Administrative
Code (3 AAC 48). Current beta testers will be allowed to continue their submission of electronic
docket and tariff filings, but must serve their electronic filings on other parties in accordance
with the Commission’s existing regulations.
A copy of the adopted regulations may be viewed at the Commission’s office or at the
Commission’s website at
by typing Docket “R-09-004” in the Find a
Matter search box.
If you have any questions or need any additional information regarding the implementation of
R-09-004, please contact Jana Grenn at (907) 263-2150 or
