applications for new or amended certificates of public convenience and
necessity, must be transmitted to the commission by a consecutively numbered
letter designated as "Tariff Advice Letter No. 1, 2, 3, etc." Tariff advice

statutes, regulations, or commission order that the filing is made
under;
(3) list the tariff sheets,
special contracts, agreements, forms, or other documents required by commission
order that are being filed;

including a proposed effective date and explanation demonstrating good cause
showing why the early effective date is necessary; and

the filing is based upon a study, a copy of the study used by the utility or

file with the commission . If a utility or pipeline carrier wishes to keep a
study confidential it may petition for confidentiality as provided in

tariff advice letter must address the requirements of
