Overview of the NHPUC Electronic Report Filing System
The New Hampshire Public
Utilities Commission (Commission) has traditionally required regulated
industries to submit a variety of reports in printed format, including an
original and seven copies. In order to assure efficient agency operations
and to avoid unnecessary burdens on the utilities it regulates, the Commission
directed its staff during the summer of 2003 to conduct a review of all reports
provided to the Commission. Staff completed this review, in part, to
determine whether certain reporting requirements should be eliminated because
they were no longer useful or contained duplicate information provided in other
reports. In its review, the staff also identified which reports and forms
could be filed electronically. As part of
Order
No. 24,223,
issued on October 24, 2003, the Commission found that the filing requirement
order would be satisfied by filing one electronic copy and one paper copy with
the Commission.
The Electronic Report Filing
System (ERF) provides Commission stakeholders with a web based means of
submitting these reports. The process is relatively simple and is
accessible from the Commission's Regulatory page. It involves several
steps, including:
-
Completing an on-line registration form.(You
can access the Registration Request page from the main Login screen by
clicking on the "Need to Register?" button. Please see
How to Register as a New User for additional help.)
-
Waiting
for notification from the Commission that you have been activated as a user.
-
Logging in at the
Commission site using your Email address and a password you request during
registration.
Making a few simple selections
at the File Upload page and then attaching the files you wish to send to the
Commission.
Please note that, since the State
of New Hampshire relies heavily on Microsoft technology, you must use version
5.1 or higher of Internet Explorer to effectively access the ERF system.
