(b) The form contained in subsection (a) may
					 be modified by omitting the words "(1) for it alone, and (2)" or "and (2) for
					 it jointly with other public utilities," or "to receive concurrences in, and"
					 or "and to file," when such words are inapplicable. When used to give authority
					 to an agent for the publication of a classification, a classification exception
					 tariff or a rules circular, the power of attorney form should be modified by
					 striking out the words "rate schedule" and substituting therefor the word or
					 words "classification" "classification exception tariffs," or "rules
					 circulars," as the case may be. When used to give authority to another
					 telephone company to give and receive concurrences, the third paragraph
					 relating to the alternate agent should be omitted, and in the first paragraph
					 the name of the telephone company being appointed as agent should be shown in
					 lieu of the name of the principal agent.
