Authorized applicants must represent 

interested parties, as defined by 19

access. A separate service list will be 

maintained by the Secretary for those 

parties authorized to receive BPI under 

the APO.

with section 207.30 of the Commission’s

201.8 of the Commission’s rules; any 

submissions that contain BPI must also 

conform with the requirements of 

sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the 

Commission’s rules. The Commission’s 

rules do not authorize filing of
