ings or other documents shall clearly designate the

state a document title where appropriate; indicate
their purpose, identify any commission document
to which they are in response, and state the name,
address and title of the party or petitioner.

ceeding when the commission finds a pleading or
other document does not comply with these rules,
the commission shall:
(1) decline to accept the document for filing

(2) accept it for filing and make procedural cor-
rections, or
(3) accept it for filing and advise the person
tendering it of the deficiency and require that the
deficiency be corrected.
