3 AAC 46.360 - General arrangement and content of tariff

(a) The tariff of an electric reliability organization must contain

(1) a title page, including

(A) the name of the electric reliability organization issuing the tariff, as listed on the electric reliability organization's certificate;

(B) a description of the interconnected bulk-electric system to which the tariff applies that is sufficient to allow users, owners, and operators of that system to identify the tariffs applicability to them;

(C) the physical address of the issuing electric reliability organization, if applicable;

(D) the electric reliability organization's Internet website address;

(E) the electric reliability organization's telephone number;

(F) the electric reliability organization's general electronic mail address; and

(G) the tariff number;

(2) an index with a complete and accurate list of the contents of the tariff;

(3) a schedule of all rates and charges;

(4) the contents required by AS 42.05.770(1);

(5) provisions for the process by which a user, owner, or operator may become a registered entity, if the user, owner, or operator is subject to an approved reliability standard;

(6) provisions that load-serving entities notify the electric reliability organization of all persons that are subject to a commission-approved reliability standard, or that may be subject to a reliability standard that the electric reliability organization may develop in the reasonably foreseeable future; and

(7) reliability standards, including

(A) each penalty matrix associated with a violation of those reliability standards; and

(B) nonmonetary penalties that may be assessed for violation of those reliability standards.

(b) The commission may order additional provisions to be included in an electric reliability organization's tariff, after notice and an opportunity to be heard.

(c) Each page of the electric reliability organization's tariff must be legible and formatted to print eight and one-half inches by 11 inches in size and must include

(1) the name of the electric reliability organization;

(2) the number of the electric reliability organization's certificate;

(3) the tariff filing number;

(4) the tariff sheet number; and

(5) the tariff revision numbers.

(d) Each sheet of every tariff, except the title page, must bear a sheet number at the top of the sheet. The first publication of a tariff sheet number must be designated as "Original Sheet ....." The amendment of any sheet of a tariff shall be made only by reissuing the particular sheet upon which the change, addition, or cancellation is made. Reissuing the sheet means to cancel it by a new tariff sheet that contains the same tariff provisions except whatever additions, changes, or cancellations are made. Each revised tariff sheet must bear the same sheet number. A revised tariff sheet that amends an original sheet must be designated "First Revision ...," "Second Revision ...," etc. Each revised sheet must direct the cancellation of the original or revised sheet that it amends.

(e) The purpose and effect of every tariff revision must be indicated on the tariff by the use of the following symbols to the right of the text to which they apply;

C - To denote a changed condition or regulation;

D - To denote a discontinued rate, regulation, or condition;

I - To denote an increase;

L - To denote that material has been relocated from or to another sheet or place in the tariff with no change in text, rate, provision, or condition;

N - To denote a new rate, regulation, condition, or sheet;

R - To denote a reduction;

S - To denote a reissued matter;

T - To denote a change in text for clarification.

(f) The symbols in (e) of this section may not be carried forward on subsequent revisions of the tariff sheets where they originally are shown or into tariff reissues or supplements, and the filing electric reliability organization is not required to use them in any reproduction of its tariff for public inspection.

(g) If the index is rendered inaccurate due to the submission of a tariff sheet with a proposed revision, the index tariff sheet must be revised concurrently.

(h) In the construction of a tariff, consideration may be given to the fact that it may be necessary, in the future, to file additional standards, rates, provisions, or other items. Reservation of sheet and schedule numbers may therefore be made to provide, in advance, for subsequent filings to be made in proper relation to schedules, or other items filed previously. If, after a tariff has been issued, adding an additional tariff sheet becomes necessary, the added sheet must be designated as an original sheet. When added between existing sheets of the tariff, it must be given the same sheet number as the sheet that it follows. A period suffix, in the numerical sequence, must follow the sheet number; for example, "Original Sheet 4.1". If the added sheet is added after the last sheet, at the end of the tariff, the added sheet shall be given the next consecutive number following the last sheet of the tariff.
