All tariffs related to the transportation of household goods
				shall contain:
(1) Table of contents
			 or index: a full and complete statement, in alphabetical order, of the exact
			 location where information under general headings will be found, specifying
			 page or item numbers. If a tariff contains so small a volume of matter that the
			 contents are plainly disclosed, the table of contents or index may be
			 omitted.
(2) Names of issuing
			 carriers, alphabetically arranged, or by proper reference describe the tariff
			 containing these provisions. If there be not more than five participating
			 carriers, their names may be shown on the title page. The form and number of
			 power of attorney to the tariff must be shown (see OAR 740-050-0060).

			 of all commodities upon which commodity rates are named, showing page upon
			 which such rates will be found, also item numbers.

			 of all commodities upon which exceptions to the classification are made,

			 geographically arranged, of all points from and to which tariff rates or fares

			 will be found.
(6) An official list
			 of all the points in connection with which the tariff applies.
(7) The different routes via which tariff
			 applies must be shown together with appropriate reference to application of
			 rates. When a tariff specifies routing, the rates may not be applied via routes
			 not specified.
(8) Explanation of
			 reference marks and technical abbreviations used in the tariff, except that a
			 special provision applying to a particular rate may be shown in connection with
			 and on the same page with such rate.
(9) Such explanatory statement in clear and
			 explicit terms regarding the general application of rates and rules contained
			 in the tariff as may be necessary to remove all doubt as to their proper
			 application.
(10) Complete
			 description of all commodities upon which exception to the classification class
			 ratings, rules or requirements are authorized showing item number,
			 classification and other detail information.
(11) Rules and regulations which govern the
			 tariff, the title of each rule or regulation to be shown, or by proper
			 reference describe the tariff containing such rules and regulations. Under this
			 head all of the rules, regulations or conditions which in any way affect the
			 rates named in the tariff will be entered.
(12) An explicit statement of the rates, in
			 cents or in dollars and cents together with the names of the points from, to or
			 between which they apply, arranged in a simple and systematic manner, under
			 proper index and item numbers. Tariffs shall be arranged in sections to
			 separate different kinds of rates or provisions. The sections must be
			 consecutively numbered and differentiation among sections must be
			 clear.
(13) Each tariff which
			 contains class and/or commodity rates shall also contain a rule reading,
			 "Whenever a class rate and a commodity rate are named between specified points,
			 the lower of such rates is the lawful rate."
(14) Tariff publications or supplements
			 thereto must indicate increases, reductions, changes made in existing rates,
			 charges, rules, regulations or classifications, or the insertion of new
			 material, by the use of uniform symbols. Clear explanation of the use of
			 symbols must be made in the tariff.

			 or supplement the words "The End" or "Last Page" should be shown.

			 of" or similar terms must not be used in any tariff for the purpose of
			 indicating the points from, to or between which rates or fares named therein
			 apply.
(17) Commodity rates must be
			 specific and must not be applied to analogous articles.
