TARIFF FORMAT
A.Page Numbering - Page numbers appear in the upper right corner of the page. Pages are
numbered sequentially within each Section. 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 file with the
Commission. For example, the 4th Revised Page 14 cancels the 3rd Revised Page 14.

level of coding is subservient to its next higher level:

2.1.1.1
2.1.1.1.1
2.1.1.1.1.1
D.Check Sheets - When a tariff filing 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
filing are designated by an asterisk (*). There will 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 particular page is the most current on file with the
