Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
The numbering and general data required by this rule and
				  listed below shall appear on each sheet in the rate book excepting the front
				  and back covers and the individual sheets of special contracts.
(1) Every sheet (or page) in the rate book
				shall be numbered. While any system which provides for an orderly arrangement
				of the tariff is acceptable, it is suggested that, in the interest of
				uniformity, all utilities give consideration to the following recommended
				procedures:
(a) Those utilities subject to
				Rule  25-9.007, F.A.C., should employ
				a decimal system of numbering, so that any new or additional material may be
				inserted in the logical place in the proper section of the tariff.
(b) Utilities of any classification, the size
				of whose tariffs are limited to relatively few pages, may, at their option,
				employ a simple consecutive sheet numbering system.

(1)
				When new or additional service classifications or rate schedules are to be
				established, the sheets containing such classifications or schedules shall
				follow the last sheets in the rate schedule section of the appropriate
				classification and be given the next consecutive sheet number or numbers.
				Letter suffixes shall not be used in numbering service classifications or rate
				schedules.
(2) When revisions or
				additions to existing schedules or sheets require more space, one or more
				sheets shall be issued to which the same sheet number shall be given with a
				letter suffix; for example, if changes be made in Original Sheet No. 5.2 and
				more than one sheet is required to show the changed or new matter, the new
				sheet shall be issued as First Revised Sheet No. 5.2-A,
