PSC Filing Requirements

Filings must be submitted to the PSC according to the following requirements

For non-confidential filings, email the filing to psc@utah.gov.

For filings containing confidential and/or non-confidential information:

  1. E-mail non-confidential information to psc@utah.gov.
  2. Upload confidential filings to the SFTP server (to request access to the SFTP server, please fill out the Form to Request Access to SFTP Server).

A filer that does not have access to e-mail and/or the SFTP server may file by paper or by disc if:

  1. the filing is accompanied by a motion to deviate from the electronic filing rule; and
  2. if submitted on paper, the filing is typed in a font of at least 12 points and double-spaced on 8-1/2 x 11-inch paper.

Each document filed electronically must:

  • be presented as a functional and searchable spreadsheet document, portable document file (PDF), or other electronic word processing document, as applicable;
  • be type-written in 12-point font, double spaced, and in a format that, if printed, would require 8-1/2 x 11-inch paper;
  • be identified by an electronic file name that includes the following information, which may be abbreviated, in the following order:
    • docket number (if unknown, contact the PSC to obtain);
    • Company name;
    • identification of the type of document (for example, “Application,” “Confidential Rebuttal Testimony,” “Exhibit A,” “Motion for Summary Judgment,” etc.);
    • date the document was filed with the PSC; and
    • last name of the person providing the content of the filing.

    Every filing, whether electronic or physical, must:

    • be signed by an individual who has read the filing and believes that it is supported in fact and in law; and
    • include a certificate of service:
      • stating that a true and correct copy of the filing was served upon each of the parties;
      • identifying the method of service (e-mail, mail, etc.); and
      • identifying the date of service.

    A filing that does not comply with these requirements will be rejected by the PSC, and if re-filed, may be deemed untimely.

    *Filers should email the “Request Access to SFTP Server” form to psc@utah.gov to establish access to the SFTP server. Requests to access the PSC’s SFTP server take approximately 2 weeks to process.
