§ 61.14   Method of filing publications.

   (a) Publications filed electronically must be captioned to “Secretary,
   Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC 20554.” The
   Electronic Tariff Filing System will accept filings 24 hours a day,
   seven days a week. The official filing date of a publication received
   by the Electronic Tariff Filing System will be determined by the date
   and time the transmission ends. If the transmission ends after the
   close of a business day, as that term is defined in § 1.4(e)(2) of this
   chapter, the filing will be date and time stamped as of the opening of
   the next business day.

   (b) Carriers are strongly encouraged to submit publications
   electronically if practicable. Carriers need only transmit one set of
   files to the Commission. No other copies to any other party are
   required. Publications which must be filed in hard copy format should
   be submitted according to the procedures set forth on the web page of
   the FCC's Office of the Secretary, https://www.fcc.gov/secretary.

   (c) Carriers that are required to file publications electronically may
   not file those publications on paper or other media unless specifically
   required to do so by the Commission.

   (d) Carriers that are required to file publications electronically need
   only transmit one set of files to the Commission. No other copies to
   any other party are required.

   (e) Carriers that are required to file publications electronically must
   comply with the format requirements set forth in § § 61.52 and 61.54,
   with the exception of the informational tariffs filed pursuant to 47
   U.S.C. 226(h)(1)(A).
