TARIFF FORMAT
Sheet Numberin - Sheet numbers appear in the upper left corner of the page. Sheets are numbered
sequentially. 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 10 and 11 would be 10.
Sheet Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper left corner of each page.
These numbers are used to determine the most current sheet revision on file with the Idaho Utilities
and Transportation Commission (IPUC). For example, the 4th revised Sheet 14 cancels the 3rd
revised Sheet 14. Because of various suspension periods, deferrals, etc., the IPUC follows in their
tariff approval process, the most current sheet number on file with the Commission is not always
the tariff page in effect Consult the Check Sheet for the sheet currently in effect
Para h Numberin uence - 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. 1. (a)
2. 1. LA. 1.(a).I
A.l.(a).I.(i).
A.l.(a).I.(i).(1).
Check Sheets - When a tariff filing is made with the IPUC, 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 this page if there are only changes made to it (i., the format, etc. remains
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 sheet is the most current on file with the IPUc.

Timin
!!:
of Calls
The customer s long distance usage charge is based on the actual usage of the Company s network.
Timing on completed calls begins when the call is answered by the called party. When the called
party picks up is determined by hardware answer supervision in which the local telephone company
sends a signal to the switch or the software utilizing audio tone detection. Timing terminates on all
calls when either party goes to the on-hook mode. Unless otherwise indicated, for residential Idaho
intrastate calls there is a one minute minimum charge, with additional time billed in increments of
one minute with full minute rounding. Also, unless otherwise indicated, for commercial Idaho
intrastate calls there is a 30 second minimum charge, with additional time billed in increments of 6
seconds.

Minimum Call Completion Rate
The customer can expect a call completion rate (number of calls completed / number of calls attempted)
of not less than 98% during peak use periods for all FG D services.
3.4.Calculation of Distance
In the event the company provides mileage sensitive products, then usage charges are based on the airline
distance between rate centers associated with the originating and terminating points of the call.
The airline mileage between rate centers is determined by applying the formula below to the vertical and
horizontal coordinates associated with the rate centers involved. The Company uses the rate centers and
associated vertical and horizontal coordinates that are produced by Bell Communications Research in
their NP A-NXX V & H Coordinates Tape and Bell's NECA Tariff No. 4.
