§ 1.419   Form of comments and replies; number of copies.

   (a) Comments, replies, and other documents filed in a rulemaking proceeding
   shall conform to the requirements of § 1.49.

   (b) Unless otherwise specified by Commission rules, an original and one copy
   of all comments, briefs and other documents filed in a rulemaking proceeding
   shall be furnished to the Commission. The distribution of such copies shall
   be as follows:
   Secretary (original)         1
   Reference Information Center 1
   Total                        2

   Participants filing the required 2 copies who also wish each Commissioner to
   have a personal copy of the comments may file an additional 5 copies. The
   distribution of such copies shall be as follows:
   Commissioners                5
   Secretary (original)         1
   Reference Information Center 1
   Total                        7

   Similarly, members of the general public who wish to express their interest
   by  participating  informally  in a rulemaking proceeding may do so by
   submitting an original and one copy of their comments, without regard to
   form, provided only that the Docket Number is specified in the heading.
   Informal comments filed after close of the reply comment period, or, if on
   reconsideration, the reconsideration reply comment period, should be labeled
   “ex parte” pursuant to § 1.1206(a). Letters submitted to Commissioners or
   Commission staff will be treated in the same way as informal comments, as
   set forth above. Also, to the extent that an informal participant wishes to
   submit  to  each Commissioner a personal copy of a comment and has not
   submitted or cannot submit the comment by electronic mail, the participant
   may file an additional 5 copies. The distribution of such copies shall be as
   follows:
   Commissioners                5
   Secretary (original)         1
   Reference Information Center 1
   Total                        7

   (c)  Any  person desiring to file identical documents in more than one
   docketed rulemaking proceeding shall furnish the Commission two additional
   copies of any such document for each additional docket. This requirement
   does not apply if the proceedings have been consolidated.

   (d) Participants that file comments and replies in electronic form need only
   submit one copy of those comments, so long as the submission conforms to any
   procedural  or  filing  requirements established for formal electronic
   comments.

   (e) Comments and replies and other documents filed in electronic form by a
   party represented by an attorney shall include the name and mailing address
   of at least one attorney of record. Parties not represented by an attorney
   that file comments and replies and other documents in electronic form shall
   provide their name and mailing address.
