Scheduled EFS maintenance and unscheduled EFS outages that are expected to last more than 30 minutes will be posted on the commission's website. It is the responsibility of the filer to ensure that a document is timely filed to comply with jurisdictional deadlines. A technical failure of EFS, the filer's own computer equipment, or any other part of the filing system will not excuse the filer from compliance with a jurisdictional filing deadline. If a filer is not able to meet a nonjurisdictional deadline because of a technical failure, the filer should, by the earliest available conventional or electronic means, file the document and seek appropriate relief from the commission.
