Title page
Sec. 4. TITLE PAGE. (a) Title page shall show. The top cover of every tariff or supplement shall consist of durable but flexible paper of
sufficient weight and strength to withstand hard usage and shall be prepared as a title page containing the following information in the order named:
# (1)
P.S.C.I. numbers and cancellations. Each tariff shall have a title page which will show prominently on the upper right-hand corner
a P.S.C.I. number and prefix TR. Numbers shall run consecutively beginning with the next consecutive number in the existing series or, if no tariffs
shall have been issued previously, beginning with P.S.C.I. No. TR-1. Immediately under this number there shall be shown the P.S.C.I. number or
numbers of the tariff or tariffs cancelled thereby. When cancellations are so numerous that it is inconvenient to show a list of the cancelled
publications on the title page, it may be shown immediately preceding the table of contents, in which event a reference thereto shall be shown under
the P.S.C.I. number on the title page.
# (2)
Name of carrier or name of agent. On the upper central portion of the title page shall be shown the name of the issuing carrier or
agent. When an individual carrier or a partnership operates under a trade name, the individual name or names shall precede the trade name. The
names of carriers shall each be followed by the carrier's certificate number. On agency publications, when the agent is a corporation, the name of
the corporation shall be shown, but, when the agent is an individual the name of the association (if any) for whom the agent acts may also be shown.
If this is done, the name of the agent shall be preceded by the name of the association in substantially the following form:

Kind of tariff. There shall be shown a statement indicating whether the rates are: (i) local, (ii) joint, (iii) proportional, (iv) distance
rates, or (v) a combination of any such rates, and (vi) whether class or commodity or both. When a tariff contains both distance rates and other rates
a concise statement of the extent of the application of each kind of rates shall be given. If the tariff is a classification or if it contains rules or other
governing provisions, this fact shall be shown.
# (4)
Territory. A brief but reasonably complete statement of the territory within which or the points from and to or between which the
rates or other provisions apply shall be given.
# (5)
Governing tariffs. Reference to the item and page number of the tariff containing a statement of the publications governing the
tariff in substantially the following form (this reference need not be shown on the title page of supplements):
For reference to governing classification, and other governing publications see Item No.____ Page____, or as
amended.

Effective and issued dates. (i) The date on which the rates or other provisions will become effective shall be shown on the lower
right-hand side. (For exceptions, see Rule 10 and the following paragraph of this rule.) The date on which the publication is issued should be on
the lower left-hand side.
(ii) Every publication which contains rates, rules, or other provisions effective upon a date different from the general effective date
of such publication shall show on its title page a notation in substantially the following form:
Effective____ 19____ (except as otherwise provided herein) or (except as provided in Item____) or (except as provided on
Page____).
# (7)
When issued by permission or order of Commission on less than statutory notice. On every tariff or supplement in which all rates,

has been appointed by the corporation to handle all tariff matters with the Commission shall be shown at the bottom of the title page.
(ii) There may be shown if desired, the name and address of a joint agent, (if any) in substantially the following form:

(iii) Tariffs filed in the P.S.C.I. No. TR-series of individual carriers shall show in the lower left-hand corner the principal address of
the carrier, where such address is different from that of the individual filing the tariff for such carrier.
# (9)
Expiration notice. (i) A provision in a tariff or supplement that the same, or any part thereof, will expire with a given date, is not
a guaranty that the tariff, or supplement, or such part thereof, will remain in effect until and including that date. Such provision, if used, will be held
to mean that the tariff or supplement, or specified part thereof, will expire with the date named, unless the date is changed on statutory notice, or
under special permission of the Commission. In such tariffs and supplements the following notation shall be used to indicate the date upon which
the publication will expire:
Expires with____, unless sooner canceled, changed, or extended.
(ii) If the entire publication is to expire with the specified date, the notation shall be placed near the bottom of the title page. If only
a portion of the published rates or other provisions will expire with the specified date, the notation shall be shown in connection with the particular
item, rate, or other provision which will expire in such a way as to clearly indicate the matter affected thereby.
