Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				  Except as otherwise provided in these rules or applicable statute, a
				  requirement to serve a document means that a copy of the document must be
				  served on each person whose name is on the official service list for the
				  proceeding and on the assigned Administrative Law Judge (or, if none is yet
				  assigned, on the Chief Administrative Law Judge).
(b) Except as otherwise provided in these
				  rules or applicable statute, all documents that are tendered for filing
				  pursuant to Rule 1.13 must be served.
(c) Service of a document may be effected by
				  personally delivering a copy of the document to the person or leaving it in a
				  place where the person may reasonably be expected to obtain actual and timely
				  receipt, mailing a copy of the document by first-class mail, or electronically
				  mailing the document as provided in Rule 1.10, except that documents that are
				  electronically tendered for filing as provided in Rule 1.14 must be served by
				  e-mail as provided in Rule 1.10. Service by first-class mail is complete when
				  the document is deposited in the mail. Service by e-mail is complete when the
				  e-mail message is transmitted, subject to Rule 1.10(e). The Administrative Law
				  Judge may direct or any party may consent to service by other means not listed
				  in this rule (
e.g
., facsimile transmission).
(d) A person may serve a Notice of
				  Availability in lieu of hard copy service under this rule or e-mail service
				  under Rule 1.10:
(1) if the entire document,
				  including attachments, exceeds 50 pages; or
(2) if a document or part of the document is
				  not reproducible in electronic format, or would cause the entire e-mail
				  message, including all attachments, to exceed 3.5 megabytes in size, or would
				  be likely to cause e-mail service to fail for any other reason; or
(3) if the document is made available at a
				  particular Uniform Resource Locator (URL) on the internet in a readable,
				  downloadable, printable, and searchable format, unless use of such formats is
				  infeasible; or
(4) with the prior
				  permission of the assigned Commissioner or Administrative Law Judge; except
				  that the document must be served on any person who has previously informed the
				  serving person of its desire to receive the document.
The Notice must comply with Rule 1.6(a), and shall state
					 the document's exact title and summarize its contents, and provide the name,
					 telephone number, and e-mail address, if any, of the person to whom requests
					 for the document should be directed. The document shall be served within one
					 business day after receipt of any such request.
If the document is made available at a particular URL, the
					 Notice of Availability must contain a complete and accurate transcription of
					 the URL or a hyperlink to the URL at which the document is available, and must
					 state the date on which the document was made available at that URL. Such
					 document must be maintained at that URL until the date of the final decision in
					 the proceeding. If changes to the web site change the URL for the document, the
					 serving person must serve and file a notice of the new
					 URL.
