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.
o. 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 and asterisk (*). There wil be no
other symbols used on this Sheet if these are the only changes made to it (Le., 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.

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

Code, § 56-901.
