For information about cases before the Commission, contact the Document Control Center of the Clerk’s Office where documents related to cases before the SCC are maintained. You may review unofficial copies of documents associated with Commission cases through the Docket Search portal. You may call to obtain official copies of documents for a fee, (804) 371-9838 or toll-free in Virginia at 1-866-722-2551. You also may visit the Document Control Center to review documents in person. The Document Control Center is in the Clerk’s Office, on the 1st floor of the Tyler Building.

Hearing Transcripts

Transcripts of SCC hearings are available from the Clerk’s Office. Generally, a transcript is available within 14 days after the conclusion of the hearing.

An electronic version of the nonconfidential portions of a transcript will be posted as a case document and be available via the Docket Search portal of the Case Information page on the SCC web site.

A printed version of the transcript is available from the Document Control Center at the cost of 50-cents per page.

Case participants may arrange for expedited and real-time transcription services (an “expedited” transcript will be delivered by 4:00 p.m. on the next business day after the session is transcribed). Requests for such service must be timely received by the Commission’s bailiffs prior to the beginning of the hearing, and the participant requesting the service will be billed accordingly for the incremental cost of the service. Questions about special court reporting services should be directed to the Commission’s bailiffs.

Public Witnesses

Appearing as a public witness in a case before the Commission requires only that you arrive 15 minutes before the hearing begins and notify the Commission bailiff of your wish to testify. The Commission’s courtrooms are located on the 2nd floor of the Tyler Building. Due to enhanced security, you may be subjected to prescreening security procedures. Please review the SCC Visitor Security Guidelines. You are advised to call the bailiff before the hearing to be sure the case will proceed as scheduled. The bailiff may be reached at (804) 371-9739 or toll-free in Virginia at 1-866-722-2551.
