TARIFF FORMAT
A. Page Numbering - Sheet numbers appear in the upper right corner of the Sheet.
Sheets are numbered sequentially. However, occasionally, 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. Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right corner of each Sheet. 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 its Tariff 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 five levels of paragraph coding.
Each level of code is subservient to its next higher level:
2. 2.1. 2.1.1.
2.1.1.A. 2.1.1.A.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 Sheets contained in the Tariff 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 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.e., the
format, etc., remains the same, just revised revision levels on some Sheets). The Tariff Authorized User should refer to the latest Check Sheet to find if a particular
Sheet is the most current on file with the Commission.

damage claims. It is also the court's responsibility to determine the validity of the exculpatory clause.

Directory Name, depending on available call data.

subscriber’s interLATA toll carrier as the presubscribed carrier for intraLATA
toll calls subject to presubscription; or
D. Option D: Subscriber may select no presubscribed carrier for intraLATA toll
calls subject to presubscription which will require the subscriber to dial a
carrier access code to route all intraLATA toll calls to the carrier of choice for
each call. 4.5.3. Rules and Regulations

SECTION 5 – IDAHO TELECOMMUNICATIONS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND
UNIVERSAL SERVICE
5.1. IDAHO TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The Idaho Telecommunications Service Assistance Program (ITSAP) consists of two programs,
Lifeline and Linkup, that were developed to provide discounted rates for telephone service to
low income customers, thus promoting universal service. The programs are jointly sponsored (federal and state) telephone assistance programs designed to maximize federal contributions
to Idaho’s low-income customers.
The programs provide reductions in monthly rates for single line telephone service and/or reductions in one-time costs for installation of telephone service for qualifying customers. The
program is administered by the Department of Health and Welfare in accordance with Idaho Code, § 56-901.
5.2. IDAHO USF SURCHARGES
The cost of providing assistance through ITSAP shall be recovered by imposing a monthly surcharge determined by the Public Utilities Commission and assessed on each line used for
providing residential and business access. Participating ITSAP customers are exempted from
this surcharge.
A surcharge is assessed on all access lines to contribute towards funding for an Idaho Universal
Service Fund. The Surcharge Rate is established by the Commission and will be assessed to
each business and residential line.
