Sec. 206.8  Service, filing, and certification of documents.

    (a) Certification. Any person submitting factual information on 
behalf of the petitioner or any other interested party for the 
consideration of the Commission in the course of an investigation to 
which this part pertains, and any person submitting a response to a

Commission questionnaire issued in connection with an investigation to 
which this part pertains, must certify that such information is accurate 
and complete to the best of the submitter's knowledge.
    (b) Service. Any party submitting a document for the consideration 
of the Commission in the course of an investigation to which this part 
pertains shall, in addition to complying with Sec. 201.8 of this 
chapter, serve a copy of the public version of such document on all 
other parties to the investigation in the manner prescribed in 
Sec. 201.16 of this chapter, and, when appropriate, serve a copy of the 
confidential version of such document in the manner provided for in 
Sec. 206.17(f). If a document is filed before the Secretary's issuance 
of the service list provided for in Sec. 201.11 of this chapter or the 
administrative protective order list provided for in Sec. 206.17, the 
document need not be accompanied by a certificate of service, but the 
document shall be served on all appropriate parties within two (2) days 
of the issuance of the service list or the administrative protective 
order list and a certificate of service shall then be filed. 
Notwithstanding Sec. 201.16 of this chapter, petitions, briefs, and 
testimony filed by parties shall be served by hand or, if served by 
mail, by overnight mail or its equivalent. Failure to comply with the 
requirements of this rule may result in removal from status as a party 
to the investigation. The Commission shall make available, upon request, 
to all parties to the investigation a copy of each document, except 
transcripts of hearings, confidential business information, privileged 
information, and information required to be served under this section, 
placed in the docket file of the investigation by the Commission.
    (c) Filing. Documents to be filed with the Commission must comply 
with applicable rules, including Sec. 201.8 of this chapter. If the 
Commission establishes a deadline for the filing of a document, and the 
submitter includes confidential business information in the document, 
the submitter is to file and, if the submitter is a party, serve the 
confidential version of the document on the deadline and may file and 
serve the nonconfidential version of the document no later than one 
business day after the deadline for filing the document. The 
confidential version shall enclose all confidential business information 
in brackets and have the following warning marked on every page: 
``Bracketing of CBI not final for one business day after date of 
filing.'' The bracketing becomes final one business day after the date 
of filing of the document, i.e., at the same time as the nonconfidential 
version of the document is due to be filed. Until the bracketing becomes 
final, recipients of the document may not divulge any part of the 
contents of the document to anyone not subject to the administrative 
protective order issued in the investigation. If the submitter discovers 
it has failed to bracket correctly, the submitter may file a corrected 
version or portion of the confidential document at the same time as the 
nonconfidential version is filed. No changes to the document other than 
bracketing and deletion of confidential business information are 
permitted after the deadline. Failure to comply with this paragraph may 
result in the striking of all or a portion of a submitter's document.
