Supplements

Sec. 8. SUPPLEMENTS. (a) Amendments and supplements. (1) When it is desired to make changes in the rates, ratings, rules, or other

provisions of a tariff, other than a looseleaf tariff, this may, except as provided in paragraph (d) of this rule [this section], be accomplished

by issuing a supplement to the tariff constructed generally in the same manner as is the tariff which it supplements (a supplement must be the same

size in length and width as the tariff it amends. See Rule 1(a)).

(2) The first supplement to a tariff shall be designated on the upper right-hand corner of the title page as follows:

Supplement No. 1

to

P.S.C.I. No. TR-____

(3) Subsequent supplements shall be numbered consecutively in like manner. Each supplement shall specify on its title page, immediately

under the supplement number and P.S.C.I. number of the tariff supplemented, the publications which the supplement cancels, and shall also specify

the supplements that are in effect. The statement that the supplement cancels conflicting portions of the tariff or prior supplements shall not be used;

cancellations must be specific.

(4) The matter contained in each supplement shall be arranged in the same general manner and order as in the tariff which it amends and

when points in a tariff are given index numbers the same index number must be assigned to the same point in all supplements to the tariff.

(b) Participating carriers; how shown in supplement. (1) A supplement shall contain either a list of carriers participating in the tariff as

amended or shall state that the list of participating carriers is "as shown in tariff," or "as shown in tariff and effective supplements," to which may

be added "except (here show corrections in additions to, or eliminations from the original list that are effected by that supplement)." Changes in or

additions to the list of participating carriers in the tariff or previous supplements shall be listed alphabetically as provided in Rule 3(b).

(2) When a participating carrier is eliminated by supplement, such supplement must also provide for cancellation of rates in connection

with that carrier. This cancellation of rates should be accomplished by amending the individual items or provisions affected or by the publication

of a blanket cancellation notice specifically indicating that all rates in the tariff applying for account of the carrier are cancelled.

(c) Index to supplement. (1) A supplement of 5 or more pages must be properly indexed, and a supplement of more than 23 pages must

also contain a table of contents. In view of the provision of Rule 9(e) which requires that cancellation in a supplement of a numbered item must be

made under the same item number as is given to that item in the tariff, and the requirement of paragraph (a) of this rule, which provides that the index

number assigned to a point in a supplement must be the number assigned to that point in the tariff, the table of contents and indexes in a supplement

of 5 or more pages need not contain entries which are shown in the table of contents or indexes in the tariff, provided that, in connection with the

index of points of origin (or destination) the following notation shall be shown:

The index numbers of points in this supplement correspond with the index numbers of the same points shown on pages____ to____,

inclusive, of the tariff, with the following additions and exceptions.

(2) The table of contents to such a supplement may be omitted if Rule 3(a) does not require the tariff to which the supplement is issued

to contain a table of contents.

(d) Number of supplements effective at any time. (1) Except as otherwise authorized in these rules, tariffs of 4 pages or less may have no

supplement; not more than 1 supplement may be in effect at any time to a tariff containing 5 and not more than 16 pages; not more than 2

supplements may be in effect at any time to a tariff containing 17 and not more than 80 pages; not more than 3 supplements may be in effect at any

time to a tariff containing 81 and not more than 200 pages; and not more than 4 supplements may be in effect at any time to a tariff containing more

than 200 pages.

(2) Except as otherwise authorized in these rules, tariffs containing 5 and not more than 12 pages may have not more than 4 pages of

supplemental matter, and tariffs containing more than 12 pages may have supplemental matter aggregating not more than 33 1/3 percent of the

number of pages in the tariff except that if the number of pages in the supplement which brings the volume of matter up to that authorized by this

paragraph is not evenly divisible by 4, it may exceed the volume authorized to the extent necessary to bring the number of pages of such supplement

to the next multiple of 4. The smallest of 3 effective supplements to a tariff of more than 80 but not more than 200 pages shall contain not more than

8 pages, and the smallest of 4 effective supplements to a tariff of more than 200 pages shall contain not more than 16 pages.

(e) Additional supplement to establish rates, under rule or order of Commission. (1) Except in the case of loose-leaf tariffs and tariffs

containing less than 13 pages, one additional supplement may be issued to any tariff without regard to the requirements of paragraph (d) of this rule

[this section] for the purpose of establishing rates, classifications, rules and other provisions in compliance with a decision or order of the

Commission in a formal case. Only one such supplement may be in effect at any time and may contain no other matter.

(2) If the volume of supplemental matter is not exceeded by the issuance of such additional supplement it shall bear on its title page the

following notation in addition to showing reference to the opinion, or order, as the case may be:

This supplement is issued under authority of Rule 6(e), of these regulations, and will be included in and cancelled by the next regular

supplement filed to this tariff.

(3) The next regular supplement filed shall bring the number of effective supplements within the requirements of paragraph (d) of this

rule.

(4) If the volume of supplemental matter is exceeded by the issuance of the additional supplement authorized by this section, the next

regular supplement filed shall bring the volume of supplemental matter with the requirements of paragraph (d) of this rule [this section], and,

further, the volume of supplemental matter shall be brought within the requirements of that paragraph by the issuance of a new supplement filed

within 120 days from the effective date of the additional supplement, or a new issue of the tariff shall be filed within that period.

(5) Such additional supplement, in addition to showing reference to the opinion or order as the case may be, shall bear on its title page a

notation in substantially the following form:

This supplement is issued under authority of Rule 6(e). It will be cancelled by a new supplement or the tariff will be reissued, the new

supplement or tariff to be filed on or before (here name a date which will observe the period of time provided above).

(f) Supplement to tariff that is filed and not yet effective. (1) In an instance where a tariff is filed on statutory notice cancelling another

tariff and it is desired to issue a supplement to the tariff to be cancelled, effective prior to the effective date of the new tariff, a supplement may be

issued which makes the same changes in or additions to both tariffs and which is indicated as a supplement to both the tariff to be cancelled and the

cancelling tariff (being given supplement numbers running in proper sequence to both P.S.C.I. numbers). In other words, such a supplement shall

be numbered and treated as a supplement both to the old and new tariffs and shall be filed and posted as such. The matter contained in such a

supplement shall be confined to additions or to changes in rates or provisions which were brought forward in the new tariff without change. It is not

required that the provisions of paragraph (d) of this rule [this section] be observed in connection with such a supplement to the old tariff,

but only one such supplement may be in effect at any time.

(2) If the matter to be changed is not arranged or numbered in the same way in both tariffs the changed provision shall be shown in the

proper manner to indicate the change made in the old tariff and also to indicate the change in the new tariff. For example, if the changed provision

is indicated as Item 40-B in the old tariff and as Item 50 in the new tariff, the amended provision shall be shown as follows:

Item 40-C Cancels Item 40-B of P.S.C.I. NO. TR-____.

Item 50-A Cancels Item 50 of P.S.C.I. NO. TR-____.

(3) Rates or other provisions may be changed upon lawful notice by supplement effective on or after the general effective date of the tariff

supplemented, provided the matter amended has been in effect for 30 days or more either in the supplemented issue or in a former issue. Where such

matter was in effect in a former issue, a notation in connection with the revised matter, shall show that it has been in effect 30 days or more. Example:

"Item 40-A Cancels Item 40. Item 40 effective ____, brought forward without change from Item No. ____ of P.S.C.I. No. TR-____ (former

issue)." Rates or provisions which effect changes in rates or provisions not contained in either the former tariff or a reissue thereof may be established

upon lawful notice by supplement to such new tariff, effective not earlier than the general effective date of the tariff, by showing in the following

manner, in connection with the new rates or provisions that the rates or provisions previously applicable have been in effect 30 days or more in a

different issue. Example: "Addition. Changes class rates which became effective ____ in P.S.C.I. No. TR-____." Unless the provisions of this

paragraph are complied with no supplement to a tariff that has been filed and has not become effective may be issued to become effective within

30 days from the effective date of the tariff without special permission.

(4) This rule does not waive the requirements of Rule 18.
