TARIFF FORMAT
A. Page Numbering - Page numbers appear in the upper right corner of the page. Pages are numbered
sequentially. However, new pages are occasionally added to the tariff. When a new page is added between
pages already in effect, a decimal is added. For example, a new page added between pages 14 and 15 would
be 14.1.
B. Page Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right corner of each page. These
numbers are used to determine the most current page version on file with the Commission. For example, the
4th Revised Page 14 cancels the 3rd Revised Page 14. Because of various suspension periods, deferrals, etc.,
the most current page number on file with the Commission is not always the tariff page in effect. Consult the
Check Sheet for the page currently in effect.
C. Paragraph Numbering Sequence - There are nine levels of paragraph coding. Each level of coding is
subservient to its next higher level:
2.
2.1.
2.1.1.
2.1.1.A.
2.1.1.A.1.
2.1.1.A.1.(a).
2.1.1.A.1.(a).I.
2.1.1.A.1.(a).I.(i).
2.1.1.A.1.(a).I.(i).(1).
D. Check Sheets - When a tariff filing is made with the Commission, an updated Check Sheet accompanies
the tariff filing. The Check Sheet lists the pages contained in the tariff, with a cross reference to the current
revision number. When new pages are added, the Check Sheet is changed to reflect the revision. All revisions
made in a given filing are designated by an asterisk (*). There will be no other symbols used on this page if
these are the only changes made to it (i.e., the format, etc. remain the same, just revised revision levels on
some pages.) The tariff user should refer to the latest Check Sheet to find out if a particular page is the most
current on file with the Commission.

3.6 Public Telephone Surcharge
In order to recover the Company’s expenses to comply with the FCC’s pay telephone compensation
plan effective on October 7, 1997 (FCC 97-371), an undiscountable per call charge is applicable to all
interstate, intrastate and international calls that originate from any domestic pay telephone used to
access the Company's services. This surcharge, which is in addition to standard tariffed usage charges
and any applicable service charges and surcharges associated with the Company's service, applies for
the use of the instrument used to access The Company service and is unrelated to the Company
service accessed from the pay telephone.
Pay telephones include coin-operated and coinless phones owned by local telephone companies,
independent companies and other interexchange carriers. The Public Pay Telephone Surcharge
applies to the initial completed call and any reoriginated call (i.e., using the A#@ symbol).
Whenever possible, the Public Pay Telephone Surcharge will appear on the same invoice containing
the usage charges for the surcharged call. In cases where proper pay telephone coding digits are not
transmitted to the Company prior to completion of a call, the Public Pay Telephone Surcharge may be
billed on a subsequent invoice after the Company has obtained information from a carrier that the
originating station is an eligible pay telephone.
The Public Pay Telephone Surcharge does not apply to calls placed from pay telephones at which the
Customer pays for service by inserting coins during the progress of the call.
