Ala. Admin. Code r. 770-X-10-.05-.06

Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024

Section 770-X-10-.05-.06 - Contents Of Tariffs

(1) TABLE OF CONTENTS. A table of contents, arranged in alphabetical order, shall show the page and item numbers where each subject may be found. In instances where a tariff contains so small a volume of material that the title page and its interior arrangement readily indicate the contents, the table of contents may be omitted.

(2) PARTICIPATING CARRIERS. A list of carriers participating in joint or agency tariffs shall show each carrier's name, certificate or permit number, location of its general offices and the number of its power of attorney or concurrence which is on file with the Alabama Public Service Commission. The list of participating carriers may be published in the tariff or in another tariff (not a rate tariff), provided proper reference is made thereto and such other tariff is named as a governing publication.

(3) INDEX OF COMMODITIES. All articles or commodities, listed separately or by generic heading, for which rates, charges, exception ratings, or commodity column numbers are provided shall appear in a complete index, alphabetically arranged, showing reference to the item or items where a particular article or commodity is shown. The index of commodities may be omitted if a tariff contains so small a number of commodities that its title page or interior arrangement plainly discloses this information.

(4) INDEXES OF POINTS OF ORIGIN AND DESTINATION. Tariffs which name specific point-to-point rates shall provide an alphabetical index of all points from which rates apply and a separate alphabetical index of all points to which rates apply. Tariffs which employ index or group numbers or group basing points for the determination of rates or charges shall provide an alphabetical index of all points to or from which such rates apply and an index, group or basing points shall be shown opposite each point.

When a tariff names rates or charges for the account of more than one carrier, the carrier shall be shown opposite each point where service is maintained either by name, a reference which is explained in the tariff, or by reference to a separate publication (not a rate tariff) which is officially on file with this Commission and named as a governing publication.

In instances where a tariff contains so small a volume of material that the title page and its interior arrangement readily indicate the points from and/or to which rates apply, an alphabetical index of points of origin and destination may be omitted.

(5) EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS, REFERENCES, AND ABBREVIATIONS.

All symbols, reference marks and abbreviations appearing in the tariff shall be defined either on the page on which they are used or reference must be made to the location where their explanation is set forth. Changes in rates, charges, or regulations shall be symboled to indicate the type of change which has been made. The following uniform symbols shall be used to indicate changes and may not be used for any other purpose in any tariff:

or (1) denotes increases

or (R) denotes reductions

or (3) denotes changes which result in neither increases nor reductions in rates or charges

@ or (N) denotes addition of new material.
