Adopted Rule Reviews
Public Utility Commission of Texas
Title 16, Part 2
The Public Utility Commission of Texas (commission) readopts Texas Administrative Code (TAC), Chapter 22, Procedural Rules in accordance with Administrative Procedure Act (APA), Texas Government Code §2001.039, Agency Review of Existing Rules. The notice of intention to review Chapter 22 was published in the Texas Register on May 17, 2024 at 49 TexReg 3635.
APA § 2001.039 requires that each state agency review its rules every four years and readopt, readopt with amendments, or repeal the rules adopted by that agency in accordance with the Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001. Such reviews must include, at a minimum, an assessment by the agency as to whether the reason for adopting or readopting the rules continues to exist. The commission has completed the review of the rules in Chapter 22 in accordance with the APA § 2001.039 and finds that the reasons for adopting the rules in Chapter 22 continue to exist. The commission performed the rule review across five projects: 52059, 56705, 58400, 58401, and 58402.
Based on this review and comments received, the commission readopts the chapter with one repeal, one new rule, and 53 amendments which were in the Adopted Rules section of the Texas Register. Therefore, the commission re-adopts Chapter 22, Procedural Rules, in its entirety, under Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA) and Chapter 13 of the Texas Water Code: PURA §14.002 and Texas Water Code §13.041(b), which provides the commission with the authority to make adopt and enforce rules reasonably required in the exercise of its powers and jurisdiction; PURA §14.052 and Texas Water Code §13.041(b), which requires the commission to adopt and enforce rules governing practice and procedure before the commission and the State Office of Administrative Hearings; and Texas Government Code §2001.039, which requires each state agency to review and re-adopt its rules every four years.
Cross reference to Statutes: PURA §14.002, §14.052; Texas Water Code §13.041(b); and Texas Gov't. Code §2001.039.
