As all applications for certificates of public convenience and necessity must be supported by evidence from witnesses other than applicant, the following affidavit must be prepared by the supporting witnesses. All affidavits are to be attached to the application prior to the submission of the application to the Public Service Commission.

Applicant MUST attach to this application affidavits of support from supporting witnesses who will testify in applicant's behalf. These affidavits must be signed by the individual, or by an authorized representative of the corporation, association, or partnership, upon whose support the applicant intends to rely.

Except for good cause shown, no application for certificate of public convenience and necessity will be accepted for filing unless it is accompanied by the certifications of support of such witnesses. The submission of the certifications will not prevent applicant from presenting evidence of additional witnesses. The certifications of support will not be considered as supporting evidence but merely as notification to the Commission of the type and quantity of evidence to be received. The certifications will serve the additional purpose of notifying this Commission of the approximate number of witnesses who will be present in support of an application.
