TARIFF FORMAT
Sheet Numbering - Sheet numbers appear in the upper right comer 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 14 and 15 would be 14.1.
Sheet Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right comer of each
page. 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 their
tariff approval process, the most current sheet number on file with the Commission is not
always the tariff page 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.
1. LA. 1.
A.l.(a).
2. 1. LA. l.(a).
A.l.(a).I.(i).
1.A.l.(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 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 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 Commission.
