page. Sheets are numbered sequentially. However, new sheets are
occasionally added to the tariff. When a new sheet is added between sheets
already in effect, a decImal is added. For example, a new sheet added
between sheets 14 and 15 would be 14.
Sheet Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper left
corner of each page. These numbers are used to determine the most current
sheet version on file with the Commission. For example , the 4th revised
Sheet 14 cancels the 3rd revised Sheet 14. Because of various suspension
periods , deferrals, etc. the Commission follows in their tariff approval
process , the most current sheet number on file with the Commission is not
always the tariff page in effect.
