Microsoft Excel spreadsheets shall have active links and formulas that were used to create and manipulate the data in the spreadsheet. An application that fails to include the native file filings is materially deficient.

  (3) Electronic filings that are submitted in a format other than that required by paragraph (1) of this subsection will not be accepted until after successful conversion of the file to a commission standard.

(j) Electronic reports. The commission may allow reports to be submitted on the commission’s website.

  (1) If a report is submitted on the commission’s website under this subsection, it is exempt from §22.71(b) of this title and therefore does not have to be filed with the commission’s filing clerk.

  (2) The commission will maintain a list of reports that may be submitted on the commission’s website under this subsection. This list will be available on the commission’s website.

  (3) A report submitted under this subsection shall be formatted and submitted in accordance with the standards and procedures applicable to that report, as listed on the commission’s website.

(k) Map filing standards.

  (1) If a hard copy of a map is filed in response to a requirement contained in chapter 24 of this title, it shall be filed in its original size. It shall not be reduced or enlarged.

  (2) If digital mapping data is filed, it shall be filed using an industry standard file format acceptable to the commission containing feature class subcomponents of a geodatabase and capable of being manipulated by commission mapping staff. The commission will maintain a list of acceptable formats on its website.

  (3) Digital mapping data shall be filed electronically in conformance with subsection (h) of this section and shall be submitted on a physical medium capable of holding digital data and acceptable to the commission. The commission will maintain a list of acceptable media on its website. The physical medium described in this paragraph shall contain digital mapping data that conforms with the requirements of paragraph (2) of this subsection and graphic versions of any hard copy maps filed under paragraph (1) of this subsection.

  (4) Copies of physical maps and physical media containing digital mapping data shall be filed in conformance with §22.71(c) of this title.
