Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
Each tariff shall contain a title page showing the
						following information in the sequence specified:
(1) The Commission (Pa. P.U.C.) number of
					 tariff or supplement, as indicated in §
											23.14 (relating to numbering of
					 tariffs and supplements). The designation shall be placed in the upper right
					 corner, and immediately under it the numbers of tariffs or supplements
					 cancelled thereby. Motor carriers shall place in the upper left corner their
					 certificate or permit and folder numbers.
(2) The name of the issuing carrier or
					 publishing agent. The names of motor carriers shall be exactly as they appear
					 in the certificates or permits.
(3)
					 The kind of service to which the tariff applies. Motor carriers shall describe
					 exactly the right authorized. If the rights are extensive they may be described
					 in the body of the tariff or in a separate issue with appropriate reference to
					 it on the title page.
(4) Reference
					 by title and Commission number to any other tariff which may apply in
					 connection with the tariff or schedule. If not practical to show, this
					 information may be included in the body of the tariff under rules and
					 regulations. When a carrier proposes to apply the rates named in agency tariffs
					 for all or part of its services, it is necessary to submit a tariff in the name
					 of the individual, as prescribed in paragraphs (1)-(3), and to make proper
					 reference to the agency issues naming the applicable rates.
(5) The date of issue (left) and date
					 effective (right). A tariff or supplement filed to comply with an order of the
					 Commission may be made effective on 1 day's notice unless otherwise specified.
					 The date of issue, which shall be inserted before the tariff is submitted for
					 filing, should be at least 1 day after the date on which the schedule is
					 mailed. The effective date should be 1 day later than the date of issue.
					 Neither of these dates refers to the date of action by the Commission in
					 authorizing service.
(6) On each
					 tariff or supplement issued to become effective on short notice by special
					 permission of the Commission, the following notation shall be made:
"Issued under special permission of Pennsylvania Public
						Utility Commission No. __ of __ (Date)."
(7) On each tariff and supplement issued
					 under orders prescribed by the Commission (usually as a result of a rate case),
					 the following notation shall be made:
(i)
					 "Filed in compliance with the order of Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission,
					 of __ (Date) at C. __ (Docket No. of order)."
(ii) Exception: In looseleaf tariffs or
					 supplements notation may be made on each page containing material which is so
					 issued, instead of on the title page.
