The Hearing Officer shall maintain a duplicate file during the course of the proceeding. When the Hearing Officer corresponds directly with the parties, a copy of the correspondence shall be sent to the Commission, a copy shall be maintained by the Hearing Officer in the duplicate file, and a copy shall be sent to all the parties.
