TARIFF FORMAT
A. Page Numbering - Page numbers appear in the upper right corner of the page. Pages are
numbered sequentially. However, new pages are occasionally added to the tariff. When a new
page is added between pages already in effect, a decimal is added. For example, a new page
added between pages 14 and 15 would be 14.1.
B. Page Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right corner of each page.
These numbers are used to determine the most current page version on file with the Commission.
For example, the 4th revised Page 14 cancels the 3rd revised Page 14. Because of various
suspension periods, deferrals, etc., the most current page number on file with the Commission is
not always the tariff page in effect. Consult the Check Sheet for the page currently in effect.
C. Paragraph Numbering Sequence - There are seven levels of paragraph coding. Each level of
coding is subservient to its next higher level:
2
2.1
2.1.1
2.1.1(A)
2.1.1(A)(1)
2.1.1(A)(1)(a)
2.1.1(A)(1)(a)(1)
D. Check Sheets - When a tariff filing is made with the Commission, an updated Check Sheet
accompanies the tariff filing. The Check Sheet lists the pages 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 these are the only changes made to it (i.e., the
format, etc. remain 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 page is the most current on file with the
Commission.
