Section 770-X-10-.06-.08 - Contents Of Schedules

(1) TABLE OF CONTENTS. A table of contents, arranged in alphabetical order, shall show the page and item numbers where each subject may be found. In instances where a schedule contains so small a volume of material that the title page and its interior arrangement readily indicate the contents, the table of contents may be omitted.

(2) INDEX OF COMMODITIES. All articles or commodities, listed separately or by generic heading, for which rates and/or charges are provided shall appear in a complete index, alphabetically arranged, showing references to the item or items where a particular article or commodity is shown. The index of commodities may be omitted if a schedule contains so small a number of commodities that its title page or interior arrangement plainly discloses this information.

(3) INDEXES OF POINTS OF ORIGIN AND DESTINATION. Schedules which name specific point-to-point rates shall provide an alphabetical index of all points from which rates apply and a separate alphabetical index of all points to which rates apply. Schedules which employ index or group numbers or group basing points for the determination of rates or charges shall provide an alphabetical index of all points to or from which such rates apply and the index, group number or basing points shall be shown opposite each point.

In instances where a schedule contains so small a volume of material that the title page and its interior arrangement readily indicate the points from and/or to which rates apply, an alphabetical index of points of origin and destination may be omitted.

(4) EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS, REFERENCES AND ABBREVIATIONS. All symbols, reference marks and abbreviations appearing in the schedule shall be explained either on the page on which they are used, or reference must be made to the location where their explanation is set forth. Changes in rates, charges or regulations shall be symboled to indicate the type of change which has been made. The following uniform symbols shall be used to indicate change and may not be used for any other purpose in any schedule:

or (1) denotes increases

or (R) denotes reductions

or (3) denotes changes which result in neither increases nor reductions in rates or charges

@ or (N) denotes addition of new material.
