Description
This direct appeal concerns the validity of a rule created to facilitate the transition to a competitive utilities market. Appellants--the State of Texas, the Office of the Public Utility Counsel, and the City of Houston--challenge the provisions governing adjustments to the fuel-factor portion of the price-to-beat rule promulgated in 2001 and amended in 2003 by appellee, the Public Utility Commission of Texas ("the Commission"). See 16 Tex. Admin. Code § 25.41(g) (2003); 28 Tex. Reg. 3249 (2003); see also Tex. Util. Code Ann. §§ 39.001(e), .202(l) (West Supp. 2004). Besides defending the validity of the rule, the Commission contends that appellants waived their right to challenge the methodology used to compute the fuel-factor adjustment because they failed to challenge those aspects of the rule when it was originally promulgated in 2001. We will affirm the order adopting the rule as amended.
