Section 770-X-10-.05-.04 - Title Page Of Tariff Or Supplement

(1) There shall be prepared a title page for each tariff or supplement which shall contain the following information in the order named, basically from top to bottom:

(a) APSC NUMBER. On the upper right-hand corner shall be shown an APSC number unless it is required that an ICC number be shown in this location in which event, the APSC number may be shown directly under the ICC numbers or in the upper left-hand corner. Numbers shall run consecutively beginning with the next consecutive number in the existing series, or if no tariffs shall have been issued previously, beginning with APSC 1. Immediately under this number there shall be shown the APSC number or numbers or any tariff or tariffs cancelled thereby.

(b) SUPPLEMENT NUMBER. At the top, in the center, shall be shown the number of each supplement to a tariff. Supplements shall be numbered consecutively beginning with the numeral 1. Cancellation of supplements, if any, shall be indicated directly below the tariff number. A complete list of all supplements in effect shall be shown beginning on the left-hand side.

(c) TARIFF NUMBER. At the top, in the center, shall be shown the tariff number. Tariffs of each carrier or agent shall be numbered consecutively, except tariffs bearing a given number may be reissued under that number PROVIDED the reissued tariff bears a letter suffix (i.e. Tariff No. 1-A, etc.). Cancellation of the prior issue or issues shall be shown directly below the tariff number.

(d) NAME OF CARRIER OR ISSUING AGENT. On the upper central portion of the title page shall be shown the name of the issuing carrier or agent. If the carrier's name is used, it shall be shown in the identical manner as set forth in its Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (or Permit) issued by the Alabama Public Service Commission and shall be followed by the carrier's certificate (or permit) number or numbers.

(e) KIND OF TARIFF OR SUPPLEMENT. A statement shall be shown indicating whether the rates are local and/or joint, class and/or commodity, proportional or other applicable designation.

(f) APPLICABILITY. If a tariff applies only on Alabama intrastate traffic, a statement to that effect shall be made. If a tariff applies on both interstate and Alabama intrastate traffic, a statement shall be made explaining the extent of intrastate application or reference made to an item or rule in the tariff which contains such information.

(g) GOVERNING PUBLICATIONS. All publications which govern the application of the tariff shall be listed on the title page or reference made thereon to the item of the tariff naming such publications. If reference to an item number is made, such reference shall be in substantially the following form:

"For reference to governing classification and governing publications see Item No. 41-22-7._, or as amended."

Except as provided in Rule 5.11, no tariff of a carrier or carriers may be governed by the provisions of another publication which is not officially filed with this Commission for Alabama intrastate application or in which the carrier or carriers do not participate; neither can a rate tariff refer to another rate tariff for rules and/or regulations.

(h) ISSUED AND EFFECTIVE DATES. The date on which the publication is issued shall be shown on the lower left-hand side. The date on which the rates or other provisions will become effective shall be shown on the lower right-hand side.

Every tariff or supplement which contains rates, rules, or other provisions effective upon a date different from the general effective date of such publications shall show immediately under the effective date a notation in substantially the following form:

"Effective _____, 20_ (Except as otherwise provided herein" or (except as provided in Item ____) or (except as provided on Page_____) . "

On every tariff or supplement on which all rates, rules, or regulations are made effective on less than thirty days' notice under authority of the Commission, a notation in substantially the following form shall be shown:
