UPDATE: PDC filing systems are now available. The agency has traced the source of the problem to a network connectivity failure on Saturday morning that led to internal systems shutting down. Reports that were due during the time of the outage will not be considered late if filed Tuesday, Nov. 6. The PDC is in the process of moving our services to a more reliable environment at the state data center that will prevent problems such as this. That work is 75 percent complete and is expected to be completed in April.
