				  as the laws governing such filing shall be amended from time to time.
B. Upon the receipt of any filing subject to
				  this Part, the document and any material accompanying it will be inspected by
				  the Department. If the document is found by the Department to be defective or
				  insufficient, the Department shall inform the Person filing it of the defect or
				  omission within thirty (30) days of receipt of the filing, and shall further
				  specify what additional information the Filer must provide to remove the defect
				  or insufficiency. The defective or insufficient documents will not be deemed to
				  be filed. The defective or insufficient documents will be retained by the
				  Department marked to indicate that it is not deemed filed. Within thirty (30)
				  days of submission of additional material by the filing Party in response to
				  the notice of defect, the Department shall determine whether the defect or
				  omissions have been corrected and notify the filing Party of the determination.
				  The filing date for such a document shall be deemed to be the date on which the
				  last document that removed any defect or made the filing complete was received
				  by the Department.
C. Every motion
				  or request for an order or ruling of any kind by the Director or Hearing
				  Officer shall be in writing, unless made on the record during a hearing to
				  which the request or motion is related. Every request or motion shall include
				  or be accompanied by a clear and detailed statement of the facts that support
				  the order or other action sought. The statement supporting the request or
				  motion should also include any arguments with respect to policy or law that
				  have a bearing on the request. Copies of every request or motion shall be
				  served on every Party to the proceeding by the requesting or moving
				  Party.
D. Requests or motions and
				  their supporting papers should be clearly labeled on the first page with a
				  title that includes "motion" or "request", a short description of the action or
				  order requested, and a caption sufficient to identify the matter to which the
				  request or motion relates. If legal arguments are advanced, the supporting
				  statement accompanying the motion shall include citations to all supporting
				  authorities relied upon by the moving Party.
