TARIFF FORMAT
Sheet Numbering - Sheet numbers appear in the upper right corner of the page. Sheets are
numbered sequentially by section. However, new sheets are occasionally added to the tariff.
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.
Sheet Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right corner of each page.
These numbers are used to determine the most current sheet version on file with the Idaho Public
Utilities Commission. For example, the 4th revised Sheet 14 cancels the 3rd revised Sheet 14.
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 the next higher level:
1.1
1. LA
1. LA. 1
2. 1. LA. 1. (a)
A.l.(a).I
(a).I.(i)
A.l.(a).I.(i).
Check Sheets - When a tariff filing is made with the Idaho Pubilc Utilities 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 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 the check sheet if these are the only
changes made (i., the format, etc. remain the same, just revised revision levels on some pages.

tariff is the most current on file with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission.
