Fact sheetHow to file a tariff applicationWhat are the elements of a tariff application?There are four elements to a tariff filing: the covering letter, the description page, the tariff page(s), and the supporting documents.

You must provide an abridged copy of the application for the public record. What if I need to make a change on a tariff application I already sent in?You are not required to file an A or B filing, if you only want to correct typographical errors, in your tariff pages. In this case, you must resend your application with a covering letter asking us to replace your original filing. If you decide to make any changes to the rates or the terms and conditions set out in the tariff pages after the tariff application has been sent to the Commission, you are required to file an A filing. If there are any further changes of this type to be made to the A filing, you are required to file a B filing, and so on. In the case of an A or B filing, the company should include an explanation of the amendment in their covering letter, and change the other elements accordingly. For example, if you file TN# 100, the TN# should now be 100/A. Need any help?Please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance. We can be reached at (819) 953-8142.
