CONTENT AND ARRANGEMENT OF TARIFFS
§ 23.21. Title page.
Each tariff shall contain a title page showing the following information in the sequence specified:
(1) The Commission (Pa. P.U.C.) number of tariff or supplement, as indicated in § 23.14 (relating to numbering of tariffs and supplements). The designation shall be placed in the upper right corner, and immediately under it the numbers of tariffs or supplements cancelled thereby. Motor carriers shall place in the upper left corner their certificate or permit and folder numbers.
(2) The name of the issuing carrier or publishing agent. The names of motor carriers shall be exactly as they appear in the certificates or permits.
(3) The kind of service to which the tariff applies. Motor carriers shall describe exactly the right authorized. If the rights are extensive they may be described in the body of the tariff or in a separate issue with appropriate reference to it on the title page.
(4) Reference by title and Commission number to any other tariff which may apply in connection with the tariff or schedule. If not practical to show, this information may be included in the body of the tariff under rules and regulations. When a carrier proposes to apply the rates named in agency tariffs for all or part of its services, it is necessary to submit a tariff in the name of the individual, as prescribed in paragraphs (1)—(3), and to make proper reference to the agency issues naming the applicable rates.
(5) The date of issue (left) and date effective (right). A tariff or supplement filed to comply with an order of the Commission may be made effective on 1 day’s notice unless otherwise specified. The date of issue, which shall be inserted before the tariff is submitted for filing, should be at least 1 day after the date on which the schedule is mailed. The effective date should be 1 day later than the date of issue. Neither of these dates refers to the date of action by the Commission in authorizing service.
(6) On each tariff or supplement issued to become effective on short notice by special permission of the Commission, the following notation shall be made:
‘‘Issued under special permission of Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission No.
of
(Date).’’(7) On each tariff and supplement issued under orders prescribed by the Commission (usually as a result of a rate case), the following notation shall be made:
(i) ‘‘Filed in compliance with the order of Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, of
(Date) at C.
(Docket No. of order).’’(ii) Exception: In looseleaf tariffs or supplements notation may be made on each page containing material which is so issued, instead of on the title page.
(8) The name, title and address of the officer, administrative official or agent by whom the tariff or supplement is issued.
(9) Tariffs and supplements filed by other than railroad companies or their agents, shall indicate the amendments to existing rules and rates made by the tariff or supplement, together with reference to the pages on which they are listed, and which shall be shown at the bottom of the page, as follows:
Only the descriptions (shown in the brackets) as are applicable should be shown, the brackets shall be omitted.
