NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE
ELECTRONIC TARIFF SYSTEM
UTILITY PREPARER'S GUIDE
January 1999
Second Edition
INTRODUCTION
In December 1996, the Department of Public Service inaugurated
				a new Electronic Tariff System (ETS) which is intended to:
- facilitate the filing of utility tariffs and related
				documents,
- partially automate the administration of tariff filings by
				Department staff, and
- improve accessibility to utility tariffs for all
				users.
The following guidelines are intended to assist utility
				personnel in the preparation and submission of electronic tariffs.
Because this guide is meant to supersede tariff filing
				requirements formerly specified in 16 NYCRR, provisions are also required to
				accommodate the continued submission of tariffs in paper format, pending
				conversion to an electronic submission. Accordingly, applicable provisions of
				16 NYCRR are also included herein to address the requirements of paper tariff
				submissions.
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ELECTRONIC TARIFF FILINGS
ETS FILING REQUIREMENTS
Systems and computer programs employed by the Department of
				Public Service in ETS impose certain requirements on electronic tariff filings.
				Among the more basic of these requirements are:
- all documents must be submitted in WordPerfect 5.1/5.2
				format
- each document must be contained in a separate file, and the
				file format and name must conform to the rules described below
- all documents associated with a particular filing must be
				attached to a single E-Mail message
- all submissions must include a letter of transmittal
- use of graphics should be avoided
In addition to these basic requirements, there are additional
				requirements unique to each type of document that may be included in a tariff
				submission.
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
ETS requires that each filing be accompanied by a LETTER OF
				TRANSMITTAL. The LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL will consist of a single WordPerfect
				document which may be one or more pages in length. The LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
				must include LETT as the first four characters of the document name; the
				remaining one to four characters to the left of the period, as well as the
				three letter suffix to the right of the period may contain any valid characters
				permitted by DOS's 8.3 naming convention. For example, LETT01.WPF is a valid
				name (despite having only six characters to the left of the period).
				TRANSMITTAL.FIRST is not because: a) it does not contain LETT as the first four
				characters of the name, b) more than eight characters exist to the left of the
				period (perhaps due to the use of Windows 95 capability for longer names)
				contrary to DOS's 8.3 naming convention, and 3) the suffix to the right of the
				period contains more than the allowed three characters.
All electronic documents, including the LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
				must, at a minimum, contain two specific header lines which are not required on
				hard copy submissions (as discussed below, other header lines may also be
				required in electronic filings). Each header line will begin with a label which
				must be capitalized. The first header line must contain only the..DID: label,
				which should be left justified. No other text is permitted on this line! The
				remaining space is reserved for use by the Department's document retrieval
				system which will assign a unique document identification number essential to
				its proper functioning.
The second line of every electronic document, including the
				LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL must contain the label..TXT: which also must be left
				justified. Unlike the first line additional text may follow this label on the
				second line. For a LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, however, the remainder of this line
				will usually be left blank, with the text of the letter beginning on succeeding
				lines.
Note:
WordPerfect formatting commands should
				not be contained within a document header. Formatting commands may precede
				the..DID: label if required to format the header information, but preferably
				should appear at the beginning of the first line following all header
				information to ensure proper formatting of the document's text.
The remainder of the electronic LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL document
				should be comprised of the text of the letter. Generally, the LETTER OF
				TRANSMITTAL should contain only text. Embedded graphics, such as a company
				logo, will not be retained intact and should be avoided. An example of a letter
				of transmittal is shown in Figure 1.

SAPA NOTICE
Certain filings propose changes to utility tariffs which
				require official notification through publication in the
State
				Register
pursuant to the State Administrative Procedures Act (SAPA).
				Filings which require SAPA notification should include a draft of a proposed
				notice. For electronic filings, the draft SAPA notice will consist of a single
				WordPerfect document which may be one or more pages in length. The document
				name for a draft SAPA notice must include SAPA as the first four characters to
				the left of the period; the remainder of the name as well as the three letter
				suffix to the right of the period may contain any valid characters permitted by
				DOS's 8.3 naming convention (e.g. SAPAPROP.WPD).
As with the electronic LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, a draft SAPA
				notice must contain two header lines. The first line must contain only
				the..DID: label which should be capitalized and left justified. The second line
				of a draft SAPA notice must contain the label..TXT: which also must be
				capitalized and left justified. While it is permitted for additional text to
				follow this label on the second line, for a draft SAPA notice the remainder of
				the line will probably be blank, with the text of the draft SAPA notice
				beginning on succeeding lines.
The remainder of the draft SAPA notice should be comprised of
				the text of the notice. An example of a draft SAPA notice is shown in Figure
				2.

TARIFF LEAF
Individual tariff leaves comprise the bulk of a utility's
				tariff. ETS requires that each TARIFF LEAF consist of a single page, and that
				each TARIFF LEAF be contained in a separate WordPerfect document. There are no
				restrictions with respect to the naming of a TARIFF LEAF document except that
				it comport with DOS's 8.3 naming convention.
As with all electronic documents, a TARIFF LEAF must contain
				two header lines. The first line must contain only the..DID: label, which
				should be capitalized and left justified. The second line of every TARIFF LEAF
				document must contain the label..TXT: which also must be capitalized and left
				justified. Certain additional information is also required i the header of an
				electronic TARIFF LEAF in the lines immediately following the..DID: and..TXT:
				labels. All required information must be preceded by an identifying tag as
				follows:
PSC NO:
this tag will appear on the second line,
				and will be separated from the..TXT: label by at least one space. The tag
				should be followed by one space, and then the applicable schedule to which the
				filed TARIFF LEAF applies, followed by another space and one of the permitted
				schedule types (e.g. 123 GAS). The schedule type must be one of the following:
				COMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRICITY, GAS, STEAM, OR WATER. Capitalization and proper
				spelling are critical.
LEAF:
this tag must also appear on the second
				line, separated from the PSC NO: tag (and following entry) by at least one
				space. This tag should also be followed by one space and then the number of the
				TARIFF LEAF. Leaf numbers may only contain numbers between 0 and 9, and
				periods. Letters and special characters are not allowed. An initial tariff
				filing may only contain sequentially numbered leaves; e.g. 1, 2, 3, .....
				Subsequently, new leaves may be added to the existing tariff through the use of
				leaf numbers next in sequence (e.g. if the last TARIFF LEAF currently in effect
				is labeled LEAF: 22, new leaves may be added beginning with LEAF: 23), or may
				be inserted between existing leaves by expanding the numbering sequence. For
				example, if it is necessary to add a leaf between existing LEAF: 6 and LEAF: 7,
				the new TARIFF LEAF should be designated as LEAF: 6.1. If the material being
				inserted requires more than one TARIFF LEAF, the numbering sequence should
				continue with LEAF: 6.2, etc. Likewise, a new TARIFF LEAF between LEAF: 6.1 and
				LEAF: 6.2, should be designated as LEAF: 6.1.1. Each TARIFF LEAF, including the
				cover, must be numbered using this numbering convention.
COMPANY:
this tag will appear left justified on
				the third line of a TARIFF LEAF, and will be followed by one space and the
				official company name.
REVISION:
this tag will also appear on the third
				line, separated from the company name by at least one space. The tag will be
				followed by one space and then the revision number of the TARIFF LEAF. The
				original of each leaf will be designated as REVISION: 0. Subsequent revisions
				to a particular TARIFF LEAF would be sequentially designated, e.g. REVISION: 1,
				REVISION: 2, etc.
INITIAL EFFECTIVE DATE:
this tag must appear on
				the fourth line, left justified, and be followed by one space and the initial
				effective date of the TARIFF LEAF. The date must be in the format mm/dd/yy and
				zero filled; e.g., 06/04/96. (Note: calendar year 2000 will be represented as
				00, 2001 as 01, etc.)
SUPERSEDING REVISION:
this tag must also be on the
				fourth line, separated from the INITIAL EFFECTIVE DATE: tag (and following
				entry) by at least one space, and be followed by one space and the revision
				number of the TARIFF LEAF that the new leaf is superseding. If the TARIFF LEAF
				is an original, the space following this tag should be left blank. For example,
				SUPERSEDING REVISION: 6 would be appropriate for a new leaf designated as
				REVISION: 7.
STAMPS:
this tag must appear on the fifth line.
				Generally, no additional company generated text may appear following this tag.
				The notable exception to this exists when the TARIFF LEAF is issued at the
				direction of the Commission. Under such circumstances, the tag may be followed
				by one space and the notation: Issued in compliance with order in C. NN-C-NNNN
				(where N represents a numerical value and C a character value) dated (display
				date in form: mm/dd/yy). This line should be followed by eight (8) blank lines
				to provide room for department staff to add all applicable stamps, such as to
				note postponements, suspensions, cancellations, etc.
RECEIVED: STATUS: EFFECTIVE:
these three tags must
				appear on the line following the eighth blank line. The tags must be separated
				by at least one space. All information relative to the date the filing was
				received, its status, and its effective date will be added by Department
				staff.
All lines following this header information may be used by the
				company for the text of the TARIFF LEAF. However, the first non-blank line of
				such text on each page (including cover page) must consist of a simple topical
				heading, such as P.S.C. No. 123 - Electric, Table of Contents, General
				Provisions, or Service Classification No. 1 (as noted above, the first line of
				text should also begin with WordPerfect formatting commands as may be
				required). A topical heading must not run over to subsequent lines, although
				subsequent lines may further define the topic. For example, the first line
				might be designated as Service Classification No. 1, and might be further
				defined by having the term Residential Service displayed on the second line.
				The same topical heading may appear on more than one page, and may include one
				of the following case insensitive notations, as may be appropriate: CONTINUED,
				-CONTINUED, CONT'D, CONTD, -CONTD, (CONTINUED), (CONT'D), OR (CONTD). Figure 3
				exemplifies a typical electronic TARIFF LEAF.

				which feedback from the Department relative to any action taken on a filing
				must also be registered. Please consult the attached list for specific
				Department contacts to register an E-Mail address.
- As noted above, a tariff filing is likely to consist of a
				number of individual documents, each containing a separate one page tariff
				leaf, or individual documents comprising a letter of submission, a tariff
				addendum, supplement or statement, or a SAPA notice. Regardless of the number
				of documents comprising a particular filing, all must be attached to the same
				E-Mail message. (NOTE: Because some E-Mail software restricts the number of
				attachments, it may be necessary to obtain different software which can
				accommodate this requirement. We regret any inconvenience this may
				cause.)
- Attachments may be submitted in MIME or UUENCODE format.
				Usually, this is a function of the specific E-Mail package being used, and does
				not normally require user intervention.
- All official E-Mail documents should be sent to:
edi-tariff@dps.state.ny.us
TEST SUBMISSIONS
The initial conversion of utility tariff schedules to ETS will
				require close coordination between the utility and staff. Utilities should
				consult with staff relative to a mutually agreeable schedule prior to the
				submission of an original tariff schedule. Once the original tariff schedule is
				on file, the company is then free to submit changes without prior notification
				of staff.
To prepare for the transition of a tariff schedule to ETS, the
				company may find it desirable to submit test documents to ensure compatibility
				between company and Department systems. Staff welcomes the opportunity to work
				with the company in such testing. Again, please consult the attached list of
				staff contacts to coordinate a testing schedule. Once all parties are satisfied
				of system compatibility, a mutually agreeable date for the submission of the
				official schedule can be established.
Staff appreciates your cooperation during the transition
				period.
