TARIFF FORMAT
Sheet Numbering - Sheet numbers appear in the upper-right corner of the 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-right corner ofthe
page. These numbers are used to determine the most current sheet version on file with the
IDPUC. For example, the 4th revised Sheet 14 cancels the third revised Sheet 14. Because
of various suspension periods, deferrals, etc. the IDPUC follows in their tariff approval
process, the most current sheet number on file with the Commission is not always the
tariff page in effect. Consult the Check Sheet for the sheet currently in effect.
Paragraph Numbering Sequence - There are nine levels of paragraph coding. Each level
of coding is subordinate to its next higher level:
1.1
1. LA.
2. 1. LA. 1.
2. 1. LA. (a)
2. 1. LA. 1 (a). 1
2. 1. LA. (a). 1 (I)
2.1.1A.1.(a).1(I)(I)
Check Sheets - When a tariff filing is made with the IDPUC, an updated check sheet
accompanies the tariff filing. The check sheet lists the sheet 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 sheet if these
are the only changes made to it (i., the format, etc. remains the same, just revised
revision levels on some pages). The tariff user should refer to the latest check sheet to
fmd out if a particular sheet is the most current sheet on file with the IDPUc.

SECTION 3 - DESCRIPTION OF THE COMTECH 21. LLC SERVICE
Timing of Calls
The Customer s long distance usage charge is based on the actual usage of
COMTECH 21 , LLC's network. Usage begins when the called party picks up the
receiver. When the called party picks up is determined by hardware answer supervision in
which the local telephone company send a signal to the Primary Carrier s switch or the

call is terminated when the calling or called party hangs up there shall be no charge for
uncompleted calls.
Billing Increments
The total charge for each completed call consists of two charge elements (except) as
otherwise provided herein): initial charge for the fIrst 6 seconds and an additional
charge for each 6 seconds or part thereof. The per call charge is calculated as a
function of the duration of the initial period (minimum 6 seconds) plus the remaining
number (if any) of subsequent periods (6 seconds, or 0.1) multiplied by the appropriate
rate per minute (distance and time of day), and the arithmetic product is rounded up to
the next cent.
3.4 Calculation of Distance
U sage charges for all mileage sensitive products are based on the airline distance between
rate centers associated with the originating and terminating points of the call.
The airline mileage between rate centers is determined by applying the formula below to the
vertical and horizontal coordinates associated with the rate centers involved. The Company
uses the rate centers that are produced by Bell Communications Research in the NPA-NXX
V & H Coordinates. Tape and Bell's NECA Tariff No. 4.
