Section 815-RICR-00-00-3.3 - Digital Filing Requirements
A. All public utilities and CATV companies making a filing with the Commission or Division must include along with the "hard" original and "hard" copies required under the Commission's and the Division's respective Rules of Practice and Procedure, a digital or electronic copy imprinted on an appropriate "floppy", "zip" or "computer" disk; or on an attachment to an electronic mail directed to the Division or Commission Clerk; or if approved by the Division or Commission Clerk, any other conventional electronic storage system that may currently be in use or may succeed the conventional electronic storage systems that are currently available. Public utilities and CATV companies may seek an exemption from this requirement for extensive non-text type items (e.g., drawings and figures), or for items that predate existing digital processes. Requests for exemptions shall be directed to the Division/ Commission Clerk who will determine if the request for an exemption is reasonable. If the Clerk denies a request, relief may subsequently be requested from the Commission, if a Commission docket, or from the Division's Administrator, if a Division docket.

C. All digital or electronic copies must be configured in "Word" and/or "PDF" formats or, if approved by the Division or Commission Clerk, other conventional software formats that may currently be in use or may succeed the conventional software formats that are currently available.
