TARIFF FORMAT
Page Numbering - Sheet numbers appear in the upper right corner of the page. Pages are numbered
sequentially. 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 sheets
14 and 15 would be 14.
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. Because of various suspension
periods, deferrals, etc., the most current page 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 subservient to its next higher level:
1.1.
2. 1. LA.
2. 1. LA. 1.
2. 1. LA. l.(a).
2. 1. LA. 1. (a). I.
A.l.(a).I.(i).
(a).I.(i).(1 ).
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., 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 Commission.
