In the fare rules what does "PTA" mean?

Hi,
In the following passage from a fare rule, what does "PTA" mean?
Thanks.

"CHARGE USD 100.00 FOR REISSUE/UNTICKETED PTA. NOTE - SERVICE CHARGE APPLIES FOR CHANGES TO AN UNTICKETED PTA OR ISSUED TICKET."

My understanding PTA= pre paid ticket... They arent used as often anymore. They were big in the airlines before E tickets. Sometimes you will see them international tickets. Its rare to see them domestic anymore. Ive only seen a few in the past year.

Hope this helps...
