Filings that will go before the Public Service Commission are assigned a "case number." Some case numbers represent a single filing from a single company. Other case numbers represent multiple filings, from several different companies. Case numbers are often found in Commission documents and press releases. Their format is: 01-A-1234 (a two-digit year; one letter; four numbers). More about case numbers

Case Number search results include all document statuses: effective, pending, and cancelled.

The following two items refer to the Department's "Document and Matter Management" system.
• Case Title
• Commission Orders Issued in this Case (if any)
  If the Public Service Commission has issued any Orders in this case, this link will display a list of those documents.
  When the list appears, you can click on the "Document Title" to view any of the Orders.

Each table row represents one tariff for one company
• Click a company name if you want to display just one row.
  (For example, you might want to bookmark that specific company-and-PSC-number.)
• To display one specific document type, click the appropriate link in that row. (leaves, statements, etc.). You will then see a complete list of those documents.
• Tariff leaves will be listed in ascending order by leaf number and revision number.
• All other document types (statements etc.) will be listed in
  1. alphabetical order by type
  2. each type's document number.

More about Tariff Leaves
• Links to Effective and Pending tariff PDF files will be near the top of the page, immediately preceding the individual data. Each file may contain anywhere from a few pages, to hundreds of pages.
• Cancelled leaf PDF files, however, have a link in the same row as their data.
  Reason: cancelled leaves are not assembled into composite files. Each cancelled leaf corresponds to a single one-page PDF file.
• The Submission Details link will display all documents that were part of that same filing.

More about Supplements, Statements, Addenda
• You will only see links for document types that exist for this company. For example, if there aren't any supplements, that column will be blank.
• Each document is self-contained. When a document is superseded by the next higher number, the entire document is replaced at once. Therefore, each row corresponds to one document and one PDF file.
• The Submission Details link will display all documents that were part of that same filing.
