Section 480-07-880. Compliance filing; subsequent filing; reporting requirement.
Latest version.
- (1) Compliance filing; compliance order. When the commission enters a final order that authorizes or requires a party to make a filing to implement specific terms of the order with respect to the issues resolved in an adjudicative proceeding by implementing a precisely defined result, the filing is a "compliance filing." For example, a commission final order in a general rate proceeding may authorize or require a party to file original or substitute tariff sheets to implement the terms of the final order. A compliance filing is made under the docket number of the final order to which it relates. A compliance order is an order approving or rejecting a compliance filing.(2) Subsequent filing. When the commission enters a final order that authorizes or requires a party to make a filing to implement general instructions (e.g., the formulation of policy, or filing of tariffs other than to implement a precisely defined result), the filing initiates a new proceeding that will be assigned a new docket number, and the filing is deemed a "subsequent filing." For example, a commission final order in a complaint proceeding may authorize or require a party to make a tariff filing by a date certain.(3) Reporting requirement. The commission may enter a final order that requires a party to report periodically to the commission with respect to designated subject matter. The reports must be filed under the docket number of the proceeding in which the final order is entered, unless otherwise specified in the order establishing the requirement or by later letter from the secretary of the commission.
