TITLE PAGE.
(a)
				Title page shall show. The top cover of every tariff or supplement shall
				consist of durable but flexible paper of sufficient weight and strength to
				withstand hard usage and shall be prepared as a title page containing the
				following information in the order named:
(1)
				P.S.C.I. numbers and cancellations. Each tariff shall have a title page which
				will show prominently on the upper right-hand corner a P.S.C.I. number and
				prefix TR. 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 P.S.C.I. No. TR-1. Immediately under this number
				there shall be shown the P.S.C.I. number or numbers of the tariff or tariffs
				cancelled thereby. When cancellations are so numerous that it is inconvenient
				to show a list of the cancelled publications on the title page, it may be shown
				immediately preceding the table of contents, in which event a reference thereto
				shall be shown under the P.S.C.I. number on the title page.
(2) Name of carrier or name of agent. On the
				upper central portion of the title page shall be shown the name of the issuing
				carrier or agent. When an individual carrier or a partnership operates under a
				trade name, the individual name or names shall precede the trade name. The
				names of carriers shall each be followed by the carrier's certificate number.
				On agency publications, when the agent is a corporation, the name of the
				corporation shall be shown, but, when the agent is an individual the name of
				the association (if any) for whom the agent acts may also be shown. If this is
				done, the name of the agent shall be preceded by the name of the association in
				substantially the following form:
A.B.C. TARIFF BUREAU John Doe, Agent Only one such agent may
				  be thus shown.
(3) Kind of
				tariff. There shall be shown a statement indicating whether the rates are:
(i) local,
(ii) joint,
(iii) proportional,
(iv) distance rates, or
(v) a combination of any such rates, and
(vi) whether class or commodity or
				both. When a tariff contains both distance rates and other rates a concise
				statement of the extent of the application of each kind of rates shall be
				given. If the tariff is a classification or if it contains rules or other
				governing provisions, this fact shall be shown.
(4) Territory. A brief but reasonably
				complete statement of the territory within which or the points from and to or
				between which the rates or other provisions apply shall be given.
(5) Governing tariffs. Reference to the item
				and page number of the tariff containing a statement of the publications
				governing the tariff in substantially the following form (this reference need
				not be shown on the title page of supplements):
For reference to governing classification, and other
				  governing publications see Item No. _____ Page _____ , or as amended.
(6) Effective and issued dates.
(i) The date on which the rates or other
				provisions will become effective shall be shown on the lower right-hand side.
				(For exceptions, see Rule 10 and the following paragraph of this rule.) The
				date on which the publication is issued should be on the lower left-hand side.
(ii) Every publication which
				contains rates, rules, or other provisions effective upon a date different from
				the general effective date of such publication shall show on its title page a
				notation in substantially the following form:
Effective _____ 19 _____ (except as otherwise provided
				  herein) or (except as provided in Item _____ ) or (except as provided on Page
				  _____ ).
(7) When
				issued by permission or order of Commission on less than statutory notice. On
				every tariff or supplement in which all rates, rules or regulations are made
				effective on less than 30 days' notice under authority of the Commission, a
				notation in substantially the following form shall be shown:
Issued on _____ days' notice under authority of _____ of the
				  Public Service Commission, _____ No. _____ date _____ .
(8) Name of individual or agent issuing.
(i) The name, title, and address of the
				person issuing the tariff shall be shown near the bottom of the title page
				except that when the tariff is issued by a corporation as publishing agent, the
				name and title of the official of such corporation who has been appointed by
				the corporation to handle all tariff matters with the Commission shall be shown
				at the bottom of the title page.
(ii) There may be shown if desired, the name
				and address of a joint agent, (if any) in substantially the following form:
Richard Roe, Agent Issued by:
XYZ FREIGHT TARIFF BUREAU John Doe, Agent 40 Central Avenue
				  101 Fifth Street
Indianapolis, Indiana Washington, D.C.
(iii) Tariffs filed in the P.S.C.I. No.
				TR-series of individual carriers shall show in the lower left-hand corner the
				principal address of the carrier, where such address is different from that of
				the individual filing the tariff for such carrier.
(9) Expiration notice.
(i) A provision in a tariff or supplement
				that the same, or any part thereof, will expire with a given date, is not a
				guaranty that the tariff, or supplement, or such part thereof, will remain in
				effect until and including that date. Such provision, if used, will be held to
				mean that the tariff or supplement, or specified part thereof, will expire with
				the date named, unless the date is changed on statutory notice, or under
				special permission of the Commission. In such tariffs and supplements the
				following notation shall be used to indicate the date upon which the
				publication will expire:
Expires with _____ , unless sooner canceled, changed, or
				  extended.
(ii) If the
				entire publication is to expire with the specified date, the notation shall be
				placed near the bottom of the title page.
If only a portion of the published rates or other provisions
				  will expire with the specified date, the notation shall be shown in connection
				  with the particular item, rate, or other provision which will expire in such a
				  way as to clearly indicate the matter affected thereby.
