Section R. 460.19247 - Reissuing, canceling, or changing tariffs or supplements

Rule 1247.

(1) The department may require the reissuance of any tariff or supplement at any time, citing, in writing, the reasons for the request.

(2) When a tariff is reissued, the new tariff shall cancel the old tariff; for example, "Tariff Identification Designation No. 2 cancels Tariff Identification Designation No. 1." This information is to be placed in the top part of the title page of the new tariff.

(3) Tariff amendments shall be filed on statutory notice, except as otherwise provided in R 460.19248.

(4) Any change, including additions, to a tariff shall be made by reissuing the tariff or by issuance of a supplement to the tariff. Such supplements shall be numbered consecutively starting with No. 1, for example, "Supplement No. 1 to (here show the tariff identification designation)," and shown at the top of the page.

(5) A supplement canceling a previous supplement to the same tariff shall be accomplished as follows: "Supplement No. ______ cancels Supplement No(s). ______ ."

This information, together with the numbers of those supplements in effect on the effective date of the supplement, shall be shown in the upper portion of the title page. Supplements of a special kind; for example, suspension, postponement, and blanket increase, shall be indicated as such on the title page.

(6) Except as otherwise authorized in subrule (7) of this rule, an item or any other unit, numbered or unnumbered, amended by a supplement shall be published in that supplement in its entirety as amended. The item, or other unit, shall be assigned numbers, and changes to or cancellation of it shall be under the same item, or other unit, number with letter suffix. For example: item 40-A cancels item 40; item 40-B cancels item 40-A, and so forth. Specific cancellation of items may be omitted if the tariff provides a rule as follows: A numbered item with a suffix shown in a supplement shall cancel, except as otherwise specifically provided, previous items bearing the same number found in the tariff or prior supplements. Letter suffixes shall be applied beginning with the letter A. For example, item 300-A shall cancel item 300, but only item 300-A need be shown. Item 300-B shall cancel item 300-A, but only item 300-B need be shown.

(7) All of the following provisions apply to loose-leaf tariffs:

(a) When a revised title page is issued the following notation shall be shown in connection with the effective date: "Original effective date ______ (here show effective date of the original tariff)."

(b) If, because of an expansion of the matter on any page, it becomes necessary to add an additional page, the additional page shall be given the same number with a letter suffix; for example, "original page 4-a," "original page 4-b," and so forth. If it becomes necessary to change the matter on "original page 4-a," it may be done by issuing "1st revised page 4-a," which shall provide for the cancellation of "original page 4-a."

(c) Unless otherwise authorized, amendment of a page must be made by reprinting the page and showing a revision number. The revision numbers must be used in consecutive numerical order beginning with "1st Revised Page." A revised page cancels any uncanceled, revised, or original pages that bear the same page number.

(8) All tariffs, supplements, and revised pages shall indicate changes from preceding issues by the use of the following symbols:

(A) to denote increases

(C) [(B)] to denote changes, the result of which is neither an increase nor a reduction

(E) [(C)] to denote elimination

(N) [(D)] to denote new; for example, not previously shown in the tariff being amended or reissued

(R) [(E)] to denote reductions

(9) When a tariff is canceled in whole or in part by a supplement, the supplement shall show where in the future the rates will be found or what rates will apply. When a tariff is canceled by another tariff that does not contain all of the rates shown in the tariff to be canceled, the canceling tariff shall show where the uncanceled rates will be found or what rates will apply.

For example:

"Rates in ______ Tariff Identification Designation No. ____________ will apply," or, "class rates will apply," or "combination rates will apply."
