RATE SHEET FORMAT
A. Sheet Numbering - Sheet numbers appear in the upper right corner of the sheet. Sheets are
numbered sequentially. However, new sheets are occasionally added to the rate sheet. 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 14.1.
B. Sheet Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right corner of each sheet.
These numbers are used to determie the most current sheet version on file with the Commision. For
example, the 4th revised Sheet 14 cancels the 3rd revised Sheet 14. Because of various suspension periods,
deferrals, etc. the Commission follows in its rate sheet approval process, the most current sheet number
on file with the Commission is not always the sheet in effect. Consult the Check Sheet for the sheet
currently in effect.
C. Paragraph Numbering Sequence - There are nie levels of paragraph coding. Each level of
coding is subservient to the next higher level:
2.
2.1
2.1.1
2.1.1.A.
2.1.1.A.l.

2.1.1.A.l.(a).I.
2.1.1.A.l.(a).I.(i).
2.1.1.A.l.(a).I.(i).(1 ).
D. Check Sheets - When a rate sheet fig is made with the FCC, an updated Check Sheet
accompanes the rate sheet fig. The Check Sheet lits the sheets contained in the rate sheet, with a
cross-reference to the current revision number. When new sheets are added, the Check Sheet is changed
to reflect the revision. All revisions made in a given filg are designated by an asterisk (*). There wi be
no other symbols used on th sheet if these are the only changes made to it (i.e., the format, etc. remain
the same, just revised revision levels on some sheets.) The rate sheet user should refer to the latest Check
Sheet to fid out if a particular sheet is the most current on fie with the FCe.
