PRI CE LIST FORMAT
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 price list. When anewpage 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.
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 Commission follows in their price list approval process , the most current
page number on file with the Commission is not always the price list page in effect. Consult the
Check Sheet for the page currently 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.
1.1.A.1.(a).
(a).I.
(a).I.(i).
1.A.1.( a).I.(i).(1).
Check Sheets - When a price list filing is made with the Commission, an updated check sheet
accompanies the price list filing. The check sheet lists the pages contained in the price list, 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., the
format, etc. remains the same just revised revision levels on some pages). The price list user should
refer to the latest check sheet to find out if a particular page is the most current.

Calculation of Distance
Usage charges for all mileage sensitive products are based on the airline distance between serving
wire centers associated with the originating and terminating points of the call.
The serving wire centers of a call are determined by the area codes and exchanges of the origination
and destination points.
The distance between the Wire Center of the Customer s equipment and that of the destination point
is calculated by using the "V" and "H" coordinates found in BellCore s V &H Tape and NECA FCC
Tariff No. 4.
Step 1 -Obtain the "V" and "H" coordinates for the Wire Centers serving the Customer and
the destination point.
Step 2 -Obtain the difference between the "V" coordinates of each of the Wire Centers.
Obtain the Difference between the "H" coordinates.
Step 3 -Square the differences obtained in Step 2.
Step 4 -Add the squares of the "V" difference and "H" difference obtained in Step 3.
Step 5 -Divide the sum of the square obtained in Step 4 by ten (10). Round to the next
higher whole number if any fraction results from the division.
Step 6 -Obtain the square root of the whole number obtained in Step 5. Round to the next
higher whole number if any fraction is obtained. This is the distance between the
Wire Centers.
