What are the fees associated with filing a tariff?
A. All tariff filings, whether an initial tariff, or revisions to an existing tariff, are subject to a $100 filing fee. Company name changes are treated as revisions. Filings should consist of an original copy on three-hole punched paper, and TWO copies (on regular paper) along with any attachments. Expedited Effective Date for Tariff Revisions $100 filing fee, along with a separate letter explaining why the tariff revisions should be allowed to become effective before the expiration of the 30-day period. The request must include the specific effective date that is being requested. Please Note – By statute (MGL c. 159 sec. 19) the Department has discretion to grant or deny expedited treatment, which is usually reserved for promotions and rate decreases. It is generallynot granted on initial tariff filings.
