ER12-513-000	PJM Interconnection, L.L.C.	Explains that a regulated entity should not include two versions of the same tariff record in a single filing, but instead should make two separate filings to ensure that the correct tariff record becomes effective at the appropriate time. P 149-151.
ER12-337-000	Mississippi Power Company	Amendments to tariff filings must include a proposed change to a tariff record. P 23. Supplements to the tariff filing do not amend a tariff filing nor change the date of filing. P 23. The order found that Order No. 714 revised the policy enunciated in Duke Power Company, 57 FERC ¶ 61,215 (1991), such that filings that revise or amend supplemental materials (with no tariff amendment) are considered on an individual basis to determine whether the changes are so significant that they constitute an amendment that operates to extend the date by which the Commission must act. P 23. If such revisions are determined to constitute an amendment, an order will be issued.
ER10-2373-000 RP11-1887-000	Puget Sound Energy, Inc. Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P.	Companies should not create new Tariff Identifiers for each rate schedule or service agreement. Such agreements should be placed in a single Tariff Identifier. Because eTariff filings can only modify one Tariff Identifier per filing, multiple Tariff Identifiers can unnecessarily complicate satisfying tariff filing requirements.

ER10-2376-000	Puget Sound Energy, Inc.	Companies that have tariffs under different statutory programs under FERC jurisdiction must obtain separate Company Identifiers for each statutory program.

DTI’s Transmittal Letter referenced tariff section (Section 41.C of the GT&C) does not match its tariff record data’s section title (Tariff Record 40.48, GT&C - Crediting Overruns & Penalty Revenues, 0.0.0). This lack of consistency makes it difficult to find the referenced tariff sections from DTI’s electronic tariff’s Table of Contents.
