Dear CMSA Member,

On January 10, 2008 the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) increased rates, excluding containers in item 340, in the Max4 tariff by 2.3%. The initial CPUC mailing to all permitted carriers had incorrect rates for item 340, the page sent out was listed as Fifteenth Revised page 64.

I realize that the page 64 you already had in your tariff was the fifteenth revision, and this is source of the problem. The person who did the calculations for the 1-10-08 increase was unaware of our 4-12-07 major increase in item 340 and used January 2007 item 340 as the basis for increase.

I contacted CPUC on 1-16-08 and let them know that the calculations for item 340 were wrong and that the container rate had reverted back to January 2007 rates. The response of the CPUC was to send out the Sixteenth Revised page 64, on this revision they corrected the container rate but not the unit labor rates.

On 1-21-08 I made them aware of the need to correct the unit labor rates and today I was emailed the Seventeenth Revised Page 64. The latest revision is attached to this email. The CPUC will be mailing out a copy soon.

Please call if you need further clarification.
