Tariffs contain carrier's rates, terms, and conditions for providing certain interstate wireline telecommunications services. The public may also use ETFS to view and access tariffs and associated documents.</p> <p> ETFS and tariffs are administered by the FCC's Wireline Competition Bureau, <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/general/pricing-policy-division" target="_blank">Pricing Policy Division<span class="visuallyhidden"> (opens new window)</span></a>.

If tariff revisions were filed that became effective up to and including the last day of the month, <strong>a new Base Document incorporating those revisions must be submitted via ETFS within the first five business days of the following month</strong>.
