Volumes of Transcript -- Indices to
					 Volumes
. Each day of hearing must be transcribed in a volume or volumes
					 separate from other days of hearing. Each volume of transcript must begin with
					 a list of the parties who appeared that day and their representatives at
					 hearing that day. This list must be followed with a list of all witnesses whose
					 testimony is reported in that volume, showing the pages at which each witness's
					 testimony begins, what party (if any) called the witness, the pages upon which
					 each other party's examination begins, the pages upon which each Commissioner's
					 or hearing examiner's examination begins, and the pages upon which redirect
					 examination or any party's, Commissioner's or hearing examiner's re-examination
					 begins. These lists must be followed with a list showing all exhibits
					 identified in that volume of transcript (including exhibits accompanying
					 prepared testimony), the pages upon which they are first identified, and, if
					 any exhibits are denied admission, the pages upon which the exhibits are denied
					 admission. (3-31-22)
03.
Matters Included in Transcript
. The transcript must contain all
					 discussions on the record while the hearing is in order. Unless otherwise
					 directed by the Commission, the presiding officer, or the Commission Secretary,
					 prepared testimony must be included in the transcript without change or
					 retyping. Witness's corrections to prepared testimony should be made by
					 distributing replacement pages to the reporter and describing those corrections
					 on the record and/or distributing an errata sheet; unless otherwise directed,
					 no corrections other than replacement pages will be made in the prepared
					 testimony before it is incorporated in the transcript, except the reporter may
					 make minor corrections by interlineation in the prepared testimony. Witnesses
					 may have seven (7) days after hearing to distribute replacement pages to all
					 parties and to the reporter, unless the Commission, the presiding officer or
					 the Commission Secretary otherwise directs. (3-31-22)
04.
Marginal Notes
. The
					 testimony of all witnesses reported in the transcript must be designated in the
					 lower right margin by the witness's surname and the party sponsoring the
					 witness's testimony. Witnesses not sponsored by any party must be designated
					 "Public." The type of testimony must be shown following the witness's surname
					 as "Di" (direct or redirect), "X" (examination by any party not sponsoring the
					 witness), or "Com" (examination by a Commissioner or hearing examiner).
					 Examples of the designations required by this Rule follow:
Accountant, Di;
Accountant, Com; Ratepayer, X
ABC Company
ABC Company Public
Discussions on the record that are not testimony or
						examination may be labeled "argument," "decision," "colloquy," etc., to
						describe what is reported. (3-31-22)

Volume Size -- Number of
					 Pages
. Transcript volumes should not exceed three hundred (300) pages
					 unless the transcript can be completed in three hundred fifty (350) pages or
					 less. Transcript volumes and pages of all proceedings on the record, including
					 prehearing conferences, hearings, arguments, and any other proceedings on the
					 record, must be numbered consecutively. For example, if a prehearing conference
					 on the record preceded a hearing, the transcript volume and page numbers of the
					 hearing would be numbered consecutively with that of the prehearing conference.
