TARIFF FORMT
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 fie 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 fie 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 seven 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)(l)
2. 1. 1 (A)(I)(a)
2.1.1 (A)(l )(a)(I)
D. Check Sheets - When a tariff fiing 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 fiing are designated by an asterisk (*). There wil 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 paricular page is the most current on file with the Commission.

4.1 Calculation of Distance
For mileage sensitive services, the distace between originating and terminating points of a private
line facility are determined using vertical ("V") and horizontal ("H") coordinates for the serving wire
center(s) or Access Point access point(s) associated with the facility. For purposes of determining the
airline mileage of a call the Company references the V and H coordinates as found in Telcordia's V &H
Tape and NECA FCC Tariff No. 4. The use of coordinates for wire centers versus access points and
the method for calculating actual distances varies based on the type of service and the form of access
used to reach the Access Point network.
For non-switched private line services, mileage measurements are based on the distace in airline
miles between Access Point access points associated with each end of the circuit. Distance
measurements are determined using the mileage calculation method shown in section 4.1.1.

coordinate from the larger coordinate.
Step 3 Square the differences obtained in Step 2.
Step 4 Add the squares of the "V" difference and "H" difference obtained in Step 3.
Step 5 Divide the sum ofthe square obtained in Step 4 by ten (10). Round to the next higher
whole number if any fraction results from the division.
Step 6 Obtain the square root of the whole number obtained in Step 5. Round to the next
higher whole number if any fraction is obtained. This is the distace between the wire
centers and/or access points.
