NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

ADDITIONAL ETARIFF TYPE OF FILING CODE (TOFC) FOR MODIFICATIONS 

TO PENDING RULE 602 SETTLEMENT FILINGS

(Issued April 19, 2018)

1. As required by previous public notices,1 all Rule 6022 settlements and related 

interim rate filings in proceedings under Parts 35, 154, 284, 300, and 341 of the 

Commission’s regulations must be eFiled in eTariff format. When a settlement and 

related interim rate filings are submitted in eTariff format, the filer is required to identify 

the specific type of filing by using the appropriate eTariff Type of Filing Code (TOFC).3

2. This Notice serves to add new Report TOFCs, which must be used when filing 

modifications to a previously filed and pending Rule 602 settlement filing when such 

modification does not involve a revision to a tariff provision. Such modifications include 

supplements, revisions, or corrections to the settlement document, regardless of whether 

they are substantive or ministerial. Changes that involve changes to tariff provisions 

must be filed using the Compliance codes. Filers must use the Associated Filing 

Identifier of the initial Settlement eTariff filing to ensure that the filing will be placed in 

the same docket as the settlement.

3. In making the filings to modify the settlement document, the filing must indicate

whether the participants request that the Rule 602 period for comments and reply 

comments run from the date of the original filing or the date of the modified filing.
