Can the Railroad Commission provide assistance to municipalities which are faced with a proposed natural gas rate increase?
A municipality may request the Railroad Commission to advise and assist the municipality on a natural gas utility matter pending before the Railroad Commission, a court, or the municipality s governing body. Cities should be aware, however, that budget constraints imposed by the Legislature limit the resources that the Railroad Commission has available for providing assistance to municipalities. A rate review handbook is available from the Railroad Commission. The handbook contains a comprehensive review of the ratemaking process. Information regarding this publication is available by phone at (512) 463-7077 or in the Gas Services section of the agency s web site: www.rrc.state.tx.us.
