TARIFF FORMAT
A. Page Numbering - Page numbers appear in the upper right hand corner of the page.
Pages are numbered sequentially. From time to time new pages may be added to the
tariff. When a new page is added between existing pages, a decimal is added to the
preceding page number. For example, a new page added between Pages 3 and 4 would be
numbered 3. 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 Original
Page 14. Because of the various suspension periods and deferrals the Commission
follows in its tariff approval process, 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 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 shall be no other symbols used on this page if these
are the only changes made to it. 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.

dialing a one or two digit code rather than the complete telephone number. The
feature is available as an eight-code list or thirty-code list. Either code list may

number in a code list, the Customer dials an activating code, receives a second dial
