(a) Determination of Deficiencies

Staff shall review each filing to ascertain whether it complies with the provisions of these RPPs. If Staff determines that any deficiencies exist Staff shall file a notice detailing the deficiencies within ten (10) days after the Applicant's application and required exhibits and schedules are filed. The Applicant shall correct the deficiencies in writing, within fourteen (14) days of filing of the notification of deficiency, or upon objection by the Applicant, within such longer period as the Commission shall find appropriate.

(b) Staff shall review the filing as revised by the Applicant to determine compliance with all information required by these RPPs. No more than seven (7) days from the filing as revised, Staff shall file:

(c) Failure by the Applicant to comply in a timely manner may be grounds to dismiss the application.

(d) Sanctions

If the Commission determines that the nature and extent of the deficiencies in the Applicant's filing are of such nature and scope whereby the orderly review and analysis of the filing may be materially impaired or delayed, the Commission, provided it deems such action appropriate and in the public interest, shall issue an order directing the Applicant to show cause why the filing should not be dismissed for want of sufficient compliance to constitute a “filing” within the intent and meaning of the applicable law.
