| (a) Contents. In addition to the information required
in §7.205 of this title (relating to Contents of Statements of
Intent and Petitions for Review of Municipal Action), the following
information shall be included in each statement of intent to increase
residential and commercial rates within the original jurisdiction
of the Commission:
(1) a statement as to whether the proposed rates will
or will not exceed 115% of the average of all rates for similar services
of all municipalities served by the same utility within the same county;
(2) a statement as to whether the proposed change will
or will not result in a "major change," as that term is defined in
Texas Utilities Code, §104.101.
(b) Requirement of additional information for cost
of service increases in adjacent municipalities. If the utility proposes
a rate for residential and commercial rates within the original jurisdiction
of the Commission that is the same rate as the rate in effect in the
nearest incorporated area in Texas served by the same utility, and
the rate change in the municipality is the result of a cost of service
adjustment clause as defined in §7.115 of this title (relating
to Definitions), the gas utility shall file with the Director, in
addition to the information listed in subsection (a) of this section,
the following information:
(1) all calculations used to derive the cost of service
adjustment;
(2) the effect of the proposed rates on each affected
customer class; and
(3) a copy of the cost of service adjustment clause
in effect in the adjacent municipality.
