TARIFF FORMAT
Sheet Numbering - Sheet numbers appear in the upper right corner ofthe 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.
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 Service Commission ("IPUC"). For example, the Fourth Revised Sheet No. 14 cancels
the Third Revised Sheet No. 14. Because of various suspension periods, deferrals, etc. the IPUC
follows in its 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.
Paragraph Numbering Sequences - There are five levels of paragraph coding. Each level of coding
is subservient to its next higher level:
1.1
1.1.1
1.1.1.1
Check Sheets - When a tariff filing is made with the IPUC , an updated check sheet accompanies the
tariff filing. The check sheet lists the sheet 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 ifthese are the only changes made to it (i.e., 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.

TIMING OF CALLS
On all calls, except Person-to-Person calls, communications originate when the
connection between the Calling Station and Called Station is established. For
example, direct dialed long distance calls originate when the Customer accesses
the IXC switch by dialing the IXC's access code (lOXXX) either directly or
through the election of the IXC as the Customer s Primary Interexchange
Company in Equal Access service areas, AND the called party answers the call.
When the Customer hangs up, the communications charges will tenninate for
that call.
For Person-to-Person calls, chargeable time begins when the connection is
established between the Calling Party and a specified person, station, department
office, or an agreed-upon alternate.
Unless otherwise specified in this price list, the minimum call duration for billing
purposes is one-tenth of one minute, with one-tenth of a minute billing increments
thereafter.
Any portion of an applicable increment, after the appropriate minimum time for
the call, will be rounded upward to the next increment. Calls less than the
minimum length will be rounded to the minimum length.
There is no billing for incomplete calls.
MINIMUM CALL COMPLETION AND MILEAGE CALCULATION
Customers can expect a call completion rate of not less than 95% during peak
periods for Feature Groups A (FGA), B (FGB) and D (FGD) Services. The
completion rate is calculated as the number of calls completed, including calls
completed to a busy or unanswered line, divided by the number of calls attempted.
The Customer s total use of Company s services is charged at the applicable rate
per minute set forth below, based on airline mileage between two points as
detennined by and shown in the airline mileage tables contained in AT &T Tariff
FCC No. 10, incorporated herein by reference.
