§  61.14   Method of filing publications.

   (a) Publications filed electronically must be addressed 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) In addition, except for issuing carriers filing tariffing fees
   electronically, for all tariff publications requiring fees as set forth
   in part 1, subpart G of this chapter, issuing carriers must submit the
   original of the cover letter (without attachments), FCC Form 159, and
   the appropriate fee to the address set forth in §  1.1105 of this
   chapter.

   (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).
