Alaska Regulations § 2 AAC 50.811 Filing and service of documents; computation of time

(a) A document required to be filed with the commission must be electronically filed as provided in 2 AAC 50.816 , or mailed or delivered to the commission. A mailed report must be postmarked no later than the due date for that document. A document delivered by hand, by electronic submission, or by facsimile transmission must be received at the commission's office no later than the due date for that document. A filing by a complainant, respondent, or other party to a commission proceeding must be accompanied by a certificate of service showing the date and method of mailing or delivery and each person to whom the document is sent.

(b) The commission will give an initial notice of hearing to any respondent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or other method of personal service. Unless the commission knows that personal service is necessary to give actual notice of a hearing date, the commission will mail or deliver any other document required under this chapter, including any notice, order, or decision, to a person's address on file with the commission. A person subject to reporting requirements under this chapter shall keep an accurate address on file with the commission, and shall promptly give the commission notice of a change of address.

(c) The commission will prepare a certificate of service for any order, notice, investigation report, or staff decision, including a penalty assessment; in the certificate, the commission will show the date and method of personal service, mailing, or delivery, and each person to whom the document is sent.

(d) The time allowed for an act required or permitted under this chapter is computed by excluding the day on which the designated period begins, and including the day on which the performance is due. If the day on which the performance is due is a Saturday, Sunday, or state holiday, the due date is the next business day. When a notice or other document requiring or permitting action under this chapter is served on a respondent or other person by mail, three days are added to the time allowed for the act.
