Industry Rule 6. Additional Tariff Requirements

Industry Rules 6.1 to 6.4 contain tariff requirements that, as authorized by the General Rules (see in particular General Rules 8.1, 8.5, and 8.5.4), are other than or in addition to the General Rule requirements for Internet publication, service area description, and tariff contents.

6.1 Internet Publication

A Utility that must comply with the requirement to publish its tariffs at an Internet site (see General Rule 8.1.2) shall implement the requirement as follows. The requirement shall apply to each tariff sheet used by the Utility on or after the date upon which the Utility must publish its tariffs at a site on the Internet. As of that date, the Utility shall publish all of its tariff sheets then in effect or pending review and disposition. From that date onward, the Utility shall publish within five business days each new tariff sheet that it submits for review and disposition. For each published tariff sheet, the Utility shall also publish and keep up-to-date the status of the tariff sheet (i.e., in effect; pending review and disposition; withdrawn (see General Rule 5.4); rejected; or no longer in effect). A tariff sheet number may be used only once, and all tariff sheets published at the Utility's Internet site shall remain accessible at the site unless and until the Commission authorizes an alternative electronic means of publishing and enabling public access to the Utility's tariffs.

6.2 Service Area

A Utility shall include in the verbal description of its service area (see General Rule 8.5.4) a list of the zip codes that are wholly or partially within the service area.

6.3 Written Agreement Required by Tariff

If a tariff provides that a written agreement must be executed by a customer as a condition to the customer's receiving service under the tariff, the executed agreement need not be submitted for approval or filing; however, when submitting the tariff for approval, the Utility shall submit the form of agreement that will be used for purposes of the tariff. The form shall contain substantially the following clause: "This agreement at all times shall be subject to such modifications as the California Public Utilities Commission may direct from time to time in the exercise of its jurisdiction."

6.4 Tariff Rules

A Utility shall include in its tariffs, in addition to the tariff rules specified in General Rule 8.5.7, the following tariff rules, numbered as shown:

Tariff Rule 17: Meter Tests and Adjustment of Bills for Meter Error

Tariff Rule 18: Supply to Separate Premises and Resale
