Sheet Numbering - Sheet numbers appear in the upper right corner of the sheet.
Sheets are numbered sequentially. However, occasionally, 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 sheet. 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 sheet in effect. Consult the Check Sheet
for the sheet currently in effect.
Paragraph Numbering Sequence - There are four levels of paragraph coding. Each
level of code is subservient to its next higher level:
1.1.
1.1.1.
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 sheets are
added, the check sheet is changed to reflect the revision. All revisions made in a
given filing are designated by and asterisk (*). There will be no other symbols used
on this sheet if these are the only changes made to it (i., the format, etc., remains
the same , just revised revision levels on some sheets). The Tariff user should refer to
the latest Check Sheet to find if a particular sheet is the most current on file with the
Commission.
