Docket Search
Dockets are how the PSC organizes correspondence with utilities, contractors, and other relevant parties.
This information is available to the public using the Electronic Records Filing System. They are formatted in three parts (utility ID, case type code, sequence number) separated by hyphens (e.g. 5-TI-100).
-
utility ID can be found by using the
Universal Name File Search
-
case type code can be found in the
Case Type Lookup or listed below for the gas-specific sections
-
sequence number increments by one for subsequent filings (for the same utility and type) or is the relevant year for the docket
