Description
With revisions to the Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA) in 1995, the legislature created a statutory alternative to traditional rate-of-return ratemaking. *fn1 Appellant Southwestern Bell Telephone Company (SWBT) elected to be governed under this new scheme, which provides instead for "incentive regulation." Pursuant to this scheme, SWBT applied to appellee, the Public Utility Commission (the Commission), for a rate-group reclassification. *fn2 The Commission denied the request in most respects, and SWBT sought judicial review in the district court. *fn3 The district court reversed and remanded in part, but affirmed the central portions of the Commission's order and effectively denied most of the relief sought by SWBT. The Commission did not appeal the portions of its order that were reversed by the district court. On appeal, SWBT raises four issues challenging portions of the district court judgment affirming the Commission's order. We will affirm in part and reverse and remand in part.
