TARIFF FORMAT
Page Numbering - Page numbers appear in the upper right comer 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.
Page Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right comer 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 the various suspension periods and deferrals the Commission follows in
its tariff approval process, 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
effect.
Paragraph Numbering Sequence - There are nine levels of paragraph coding. Each
level of coding is subservient to its next higher level:
1.1
1.1.A
1.1.A.
2. 1. LA. 1. (a)
(a).
(a).I.(i)
(a).I.(i).(I)
Check Sheets - When a tariff filing is made with the Commission an updated check
sheet accompanies the 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 shall be no other symbols used on this page if these
are the only changes made to it. 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.
