Adjudicatory Submissions

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations require the use of electronic submittals in the agency’s hearings, consistent with the requirements and specifications set forth in the Electronic filing rule . Exceptions to the rule allow paper filings or filings on disc storage media only in limited circumstances.

The Adjudicatory Submissions system is one of the NRC’s four existing electronic submission systems. This system is used for filings to the Commission or Atomic Safety and Licensing Board proceedings. To use this system, you must possess a valid digital certificate issued by the NRC, and it is recommended that you install the workplace forms viewer on your computer (both are available free of charge). You should also pay careful attention to the following notice:

*Privacy Considerations: Unless excluded pursuant to an order of the Commission, an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, or a Presiding Officer, documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in the NRC's Electronic Hearing Docket, which is available to the public. Therefore, hearing participants should not include personal privacy information, such as social security numbers, in their filings unless such information is required by agency regulations [see, for example, paragraph (d)(1)(i) of 10 CFR 2.309] or other legal requirements.

After obtaining your digital certificate and installing the forms viewer, you are ready to enter the system to begin the submission process (see the Related Instructional Resources, below):
