Carriers must publish rate tariffs before they go into effect. Published tariffs must contain clear and explicit explanatory statements regarding the rates and regulations. 47 C.F.R. 61.2 (a). Tariffs may not make reference to any other tariff publication or to any other document or instrument. Id. at 61.74(a). Tariffs filed by nondominant carriers, such as GNAPs, take effect on only one day's notice. Such tariffs receive streamlined review and are presumed lawful by the Commission.
