A. Time of Filing: Before engaging in utility
				operations each utility shall file with the Commission a "Schedule of Rates,
				Rules, and Forms," as that term is hereinafter defined, in the manner and form
				provided by NMPSC Rule 210 [17.1.210 NMAC] and thereafter shall comply with all
				conditions and other requirements relating to such filed schedules.
B. Schedule of Rates, Rules, and Forms: The
				term "Schedule of Rates, Rules, and Forms" when employed in NMPSC Rule 210
				[17.1.210 NMAC] shall mean the entire compilation of Rates, Rules, and Forms as
				collectively filed by a public utility and in effect at a given time. When such
				terms as "Rate," "Rule," or "Form" are employed they shall be taken to refer
				only to those particular parts of the compilation.
C. Separate Schedule of Rates, Rules, and
				Forms for Separate Utility Services: Any public utility engaged in rendering
				two or more of the kinds of utility service described in the Public Utility
				Act, such as both electric and water service, shall file with the Commission
				and keep open to public inspection a separate schedule of Rates, Rules, and
				Forms covering each kind of utility service rendered.
D. Uniform Size Pages:
(1) All pages included in the schedule of
				Rates, Rules, and Forms shall measure 8 1/2 inches in width, 11 inches in
				length, and shall be prepared on durable paper stock not less than 16 pound
				bond or its equivalent. The content of the page shall be contained with a
				minimum margin of 1 1/8 inches all around excluding the lower left hand corner,
				which shall contain a blank space for Commission use measuring at least 2
				inches in height and 4 inches in width. Any holes for binding or filing shall
				be on the left-hand margin. All pages shall be typewritten or machine
				printed.
(2) Rate, Rule, and Form
				pages shall be filed in loose-leaf so that each complete schedule may be
				changed from time to time to reflect succeeding Rates, Rules, or Forms by
				removing a superseded page and substituting a new page. All pages shall be
				printed or typewritten.
(3) Each
				page in a schedule of Rates, Rules, and Forms shall indicate the Rate, Rule, or
				Form number and the applicable class of customer. If the Rate, Rule, or Form
				applies to all customers it shall so indicate. Approved revisions to original
				Rates, Rules, or Forms shall be denoted as lst Revised (Rate, Rule, or Form)
				No. ____ Cancelling Original (Rate, Rule, or Form) No. ____; 2nd Revised (Rate,
				Rule, or Form) No. ____ Cancelling 1st Revised (Rate, Rule, or Form) No. ____
				etc. Additional Rates, Rules, or Forms which create an entirely new Rate, Rule,
				or Form by customer classification or subject matter shall bear the next
				succeeding unused Rate, Rule, or Form number. Rates, Rules, or Forms shall bear
				a notation listing the page number and total number of pages. For example, the
				first page of Rate No. 1, which contains five (5) pages, shall be labeled "page
				1 of 5" (see Attachment A).
