B. A document that is reproduced at a fax machine or through an electronic transmission at the commission is deemed to be delivered to the commission:

1. On the date of the reproducing if reproduced on or before 5:00 p.m. mountain standard time and if the day is a business day of the commission.

2. On the next succeeding business day if reproduced after 5:00 p.m. mountain standard time or on a day that is not a business day of the commission.

C. On the request of the person transmitting the document, the commission shall confirm by fax or electronic transmission or other writing the receipt of the document.

D. A person shall pay and deliver to the commission any fee or penalty imposed by any section of this chapter with respect to the delivery of a document to the commission for filing in the manner determined by the commission.
