Sorry about the confusion regarding our overzealous TariffShark validation that is reduced to a Warning in TariffShark Release 5.2.2.

 

If you were to fully upgrade TariffShark to 5.2.2, that validation would appear as a Warning,

 

Without upgrading, the workaround is to ignore R024 for any filings that are not New, Refiled or Cancel. If you submit to FERC's Sandbox at https://etariff.ferc.gov/TariffList.aspx you will find that your filing will pass - at least there will be no fails regarding the effective date preceding the filing date. 

 

Again we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
