Docket No. 454-01-1450.G

Notice is hereby given that a hearing under Docket No. 454-01-1450.G will be held before an administrative law judge (ALJ) of the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) at 9:00 a.m. on April 10, 2001 and continuing thereafter at dates, times and places designated by the ALJ until conclusion. The purpose of the hearing is consideration of adoption of the manual rates for private passenger and commercial classes of risks provided through the Texas Automobile Insurance Plan Association (TAIPA). The hearing will be held at SOAH, Suite 1100 of the Stephen F. Austin State Office Building at 1700 N. Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701.

Authority, Jurisdiction and Statutes and Rules Involved

The Commissioner of Insurance (commissioner) has jurisdiction and legal authority over the subject matter of this hearing pursuant to the Texas Insurance Code, Article 21.81 §5. Pursuant to Sections 40.001 - 40.060 of the Texas Insurance Code, SOAH shall conduct the hearing. Statutes involved include Articles 21.81 and 5.131 and subchapter A of Chapter 5 of the Texas Insurance Code.

The procedure of the hearing will be governed by Texas Insurance Code, Sections 40.001 - 40.060, the Rules of Practice and Procedure For Industry-Wide Rate Cases before the Department of Insurance (Texas Administrative Code, Title 28, Chapter 1, Subchapter A), the Memorandum of Understanding between the Department and SOAH (Texas Administrative Code, Title 28, Chapter 1, §1.90), the Administrative Procedure Act (Texas Gov't Code, Ch. 2001), and SOAH's Rules of Practice and Procedure (Texas Administrative Code, Title 1, Chapters 155 through 163).

Matters to be Considered

The commissioner will consider testimony presented and information filed by TAIPA, the Office of Public Insurance Counsel and other interested parties relating to the determination of rates for private passenger and commercial automobile insurance provided through the TAIPA, including the spreading of the rates among relevant classifications and territories. The commissioner has the statutory authority and duty pursuant to the Texas Insurance Code, Article 21.81 §5 to promulgate the rates to be charged for insurance provided through the TAIPA, including private passenger and commercial automobile insurance, after notice and hearing. Relevant data to be used in the rate case will be available from the department.

The commissioner has the statutory authority and duty pursuant to the Texas Insurance Code, Article 21.81, to determine and prescribe rates that are just, reasonable, adequate, not excessive, not confiscatory and not unfairly discriminatory for the risks to which they apply; and to set rates in an amount sufficient to carry all claims to maturity and to meet the expenses incurred in the writing and servicing of the business.

The commissioner requests evidence on the following additional matters to be determined at the hearing:

1.The effect of tort reform legislation in determining rates.

2. Impact of changes in the size of the TAIPA plan population on rate level calculations, such as premium on-level factors, trend factors, trending dates (e.g., the average date of loss of the experience years) and other ratemaking elements.

3. The effect, if any, on rate indications of the 1999 change in the NAIC's reporting requirements for loss adjustment expenses.

4. Provide evidence regarding rates that promote access to full insurance coverage and that are fair and reasonable for underserved areas, as provided in Texas Insurance Code Article Section 37.052(c).

5. The relative number of drivers who are removed from TAIPA by the mandatory and voluntary take out programs, and the effect on rate needs.

6. The loss ratios at current benchmark rate levels of commercial risks written through TAIPA.

7. Potential rate impact and the effect on individual classes of TAIPA drivers in the event Rule 42 of the Texas Automobile Rules and Rating Manual were amended to apply surcharge percentages for accidents and convictions based on the Class 1A driver rate in a manner similar to Rule 75(I)(7), (8), and (9). In other words, in the event that both the base rate for calculation and the surcharge percentage may be adjusted, address the adjustments necessary to keep TAIPA rates revenue neutral. Also address the surcharge percentages to be applied in the event of accidents and convictions.

8. Issues relevant to TAIPA, which are raised in the Notice of Hearing for the Benchmark Auto Rate Case.

9. Review of the actual historical rate of return of the property/casualty insurance industry on both a statutory accounting principles (SAP) and generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis in comparison to prevailing short, medium and long-term interest rates, actual return on investments earned by investors in property/casualty insurance stock companies, actual GAAP return on equity earned by other industries, and actual GAAP return on equity by all industries combined. Provide the available data with any associated calculations and analyses.

10. The relative risk of the property/casualty insurance industry in comparison to other industries and all industries combined as viewed by an investor, defined as either a purchaser of stock or some other contributor of capital to the insurance enterprise.

11. Review of market-based indications of the cost of capital such as Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and Discounted Cash Flow analyses. If a CAPM analysis is used to estimate the cost of capital, describe in depth the basis for the risk premium used in the analysis. If the risk premium is based on historical risk premium data, describe:

a) the basis for the length of the historical period included in the analysis, and the impact and reasonableness of using alternative time periods, and

b) the basis for the use of either an arithmetic or geometric mean, including a discussion of the extent to which the difference between the two is a function of variability of returns over time.

1) If authorities are cited with regard to the use of arithmetic and/or geometric means in deriving a risk premium, describe the extent to which such authorities are referring specifically to the establishment of a guideline rate for an industry, as opposed to an actual rate for an individual economic entity.

2) Describe the extent to which use of a mean which is higher due to variability of returns over time effectively rewards or facilitates variability, and is or is not consistent with a basic purpose underlying the establishment of benchmark rates, which is to promote stability in rates.

12. The impact of the property/casualty insurance industry's debt to equity ratio and liabilities to equity ratio currently and over time on the recommendation for a target rate of return. If cost of capital considerations include reliance upon a sample group of companies, such reliance should be supported with information regarding:

a) the extent to which the sample companies have incorporated debt into their capital structures, and

b) the relative leverage of the property/casualty operating companies owned by the sample companies when compared with the property/casualty industry as a whole, with leverage measured by the ratio of premiums plus reserves (loss, loss adjustment, and unearned premium reserves) to consolidated policyholder surplus.

13. Review of the actual historical net investment income earned, including interest and dividends earned, and realized and unrealized capital gains, by the property/casualty insurance industry in comparison to prevailing short, medium and long-term interest rates. Provide the available data with any associated calculations and analyses.

14. Review of the historical premium to surplus and reserves to surplus ratios of the property/casualty insurance industry.

15. Comparison of the recommended leverage ratios with those that would result from an allocation of total property/casualty industry surplus by line of insurance based upon the combination of net premiums earned plus mean net reserves, plus the ratios which result from any additional adjustments necessary for Texas-specific variations in countrywide relationships and/or to reflect the effects of converting SAP surplus to GAAP net worth.

16. Translation of recommended leverage factors into other common leverage factors. Examples:

1) If a specific premium-to-surplus ratio is recommended, show also the equivalent premium-to-GAAP net worth ratio and the equivalent reserves-to-surplus ratio.

2) If a specific premium-to-GAAP net worth ratio is recommended, show also the equivalent premium-to-surplus ratio and the equivalent reserves-to-surplus ratio.

3) If a specific reserves-to-surplus ratio is recommended, show also the equivalent premium-to-surplus ratio and the equivalent premium-to-GAAP net worth.

17) Review of historical underwriting profit results for Texas and countrywide in the coverages for which underwriting profit provisions are recommended.

Motions for Admission as a Party

Anyone who wishes to participate in the hearing as a party must file a motion for admission as a party by 5:00 p.m. on March 1, 2001.

Prehearing Conference

An initial prehearing conference will be held before the ALJ at 10:00 a.m. on March 6, 2001, at the State Office of Administrative Hearings, Suite 1100 of the Stephen F. Austin State Office Building at 1700 N. Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701. The prehearing conference will be held for the following purposes:

(1) ruling on all motions for admission of parties;

(2) setting the procedural deadlines for discovery, motions, and prefiled testimony; and

(3) such other matters as will promote the orderly and prompt conduct of the hearing.

Additional prehearing conferences will be scheduled as the ALJ deems necessary to rule on other matters as may aid in the simplification of the proceedings.

Commissioner's Policies

Pursuant to Tex. Gov't Code §2001.058 (c), the commissioner is required to provide the ALJ with a written statement of applicable rules and policies. The applicable procedural rules are set out above. The commissioner's policies regarding the setting of rates for insurance provided through the TAIPA are set out below. The purpose of this policy statement is to put the ALJ and parties on notice regarding the commissioner's policies to provide advance notice of the type of evidence parties should present in the hearing. This policy statement, however, is not intended to limit the type of evidence a party may offer at the hearing. The pertinent commissioner's policies are as follows:

1. It is the commissioner's policy to consider all relevant evidence and issues in making a determination of rates. To ensure a complete record, the commissioner requests the ALJ to:

(a) take judicial notice of 28 Texas Administrative Code §§5.9800 - 5.9811 (frequently referred to as the "Rate Reduction Rules"); Commissioner's Order No. 96-0591, dated May 29, 1996; Commissioner's Order No. 97-1272, dated December 18, 1997; Commissioner's Order No. 98-1494, dated December 22, 1998; and Commissioner's Order No. 00-1044, dated September 8, 2000, as superseded in part by Commissioner's Order No. 00-1098, dated September 22, 2000.

(b) ensure that exhibits accompanying testimony from the parties' witnesses, including their underlying work papers, are submitted and are made available in both paper and electronic format. The format should be 3.5 inch high density diskette in a DOS or Windows spreadsheet or other format readable by a machine running DOS or Windows. Parameters, assumptions and references to underlying data should be identifiable in the electronic exhibits.

2. It is the commissioner's policy that so-called "Fast Track" data reports not be used directly in the rate development analysis. Trend analysis should rely upon trend data reported to the department and provided by the department to the parties. Fast Track data are not intended for ratemaking and represent only a portion of industry experience.

3. It is the commissioner's policy that if underwriting profit provisions are calculated to reflect a target return on equity measured under GAAP, estimates of future expense ratios, to the extent these estimates are based upon historical expense experience, shall be based upon historical ratios of expenses to written premiums. Alternatively, if estimates of future expenses are based upon historical ratios of expenses to earned premium, then the underwriting profit provision shall be adjusted in consideration of expected increases in prepaid expenses which are recognized as an asset under GAAP.

Conduct of the Hearing

Each page of any exhibit offered in evidence at a hearing before the Commissioner of Insurance, including prefiled testimony, must be numbered consecutively at the center of the bottom margin, be on 8 1/2" by 11" paper, and must be three-hole-punched along the left margin. The front page of each exhibit should indicate that the exhibit would be part of the record of a public hearing before the Commissioner of Insurance and should identify the subject of the hearing, the docket number, the date of the hearing, and the party offering the exhibit. On the front page, the party offering the exhibit should also describe the exhibit and leave a space for numbering the exhibit. For example:

Public Hearing before the Commissioner of Insurance

Subject of Hearing: Texas Automobile Insurance Plan Association Rate Hearing

Docket No. _______

Date: _________

Exhibit # ____________

Description of Exhibit __________

Parties offering exhibits into evidence at the hearing should be prepared with sufficient copies of each proposed exhibit to furnish the following:

1. the original exhibit, which will be tendered to the ALJ for marking and retention for the official record, after which the attorneys shall use an exact photocopy of such marked exhibit in the examination of the witness;

2. one copy each for every other party admitted to the hearing.

3. In addition, each party should file with the Office of Chief Clerk, TDI, Room 1300, 333 Guadalupe, Austin, Texas, six copies of each exhibit prefiled in this case.

All deadlines in this notice are subject to change at the ALJ's discretion to the extent permitted by statute and rule.

In contested cases, all parties are entitled to the assistance of their counsel before administrative agencies. This right may be expressly waived.

For The Period of January 09,2001.

APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. The Applerock Group, L.L.C., 313 Genoa Red Bluff Road, Houston, Texas 77034, has submitted a partial application to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) for a permit to authorize a new Type IV municipal solid waste landfill facility. Such a facility is authorized to accept municipal solid waste consisting of brush, construction-demolition waste and/or rubbish that is free of putrescible and free of household wastes. The facility is located in Harris County, Texas. The application was originally submitted to the TNRCC on March 18, 1999 and the portion of the application which is the subject of this notice was submitted on March 31, 2000. The applicable portion of the application is available for reviewing and copying. The TNRCC granted Parts I and II of the application, relating to land use compatibility, pursuant to Texas Health and Safety Code Section 361.069 by Order dated November 5, 1999 . The current application consists of Parts III and IV of a municipal solid waste application, relating to the Site Development Plan and Site Operating Plan, respectively. The application is subject to the goals and policies of the Texas Coastal Management Program and must be consistent with the applicable Coastal Management Program goals and policies. The TNRCC executive director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The permit application, executive director's preliminary decision, as contained in the technical summary and/or fact sheet, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at the Pasadena City Hall located at 1211 E. Southmore Avenue, Pasadena, Texas. MAILING LISTS. You may ask to be placed on a mailing list to obtain additional information on this application by sending a request to the Office of the Chief Clerk, at the address below. You may also ask to be on a county-wide mailing list to receive public notices for TNRCC permits in the county. PUBLIC COMMENT/PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments on this application. However, the TNRCC has previously held a public meeting on this application on July 13, 2000 and will not hold another public meeting. Written Public Comments must be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, TNRCC, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087 within 30 days of the date of newspaper publication of this notice. OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for public comments, the executive director will consider the comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. The response to comments, along with the executive director's decision on the application, will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments or who is on the mailing list for this application. The mailing will also provide instructions for requesting reconsideration of the executive director's decision and for requesting a contested case hearing. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court. A contested case hearing will only be granted based on disputed issues of fact that are relevant and material to the Commission's decision on the application. Further, the Commission will only grant a hearing on issues that were raised during the public comment period and not withdrawn. Issues that are not raised in the public comments may not be considered during a public hearing. In addition, this proceeding involves only Parts III and IV of the application, relating to the Site Development Plan and the Site Operating Plan. It does not include any matters or issues related to Parts I and II of the application which have already been decided by the Commission. The Site Development Plan contains information required in 30 TAC Sections 330.54, 330.55 and 330.56. This includes the solid waste data, identifying the nature, type and quality of the waste proposed for disposal at the facility, the proposed landfill method, liner construction, cell construction sequences, closure phases, all-weather operations, access controls, solid waste deposition and operating life, groundwater protection design and operation, rainfall run-on and run-off controls, drainage structures, drainage calculations, erosion controls, contaminated water controls, erosion controls, final cover design and landfill markers. The Site Operating Plan consists of information required in 30 TAC Sections 330.57 and 330.114. The Site Operating Plan describes the operating procedures to be undertaken to conduct day to day operations. INFORMATION.

The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC or commission) is required under the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act, Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 361, as amended (the Act), to annually publish a state registry that identifies facilities that may constitute an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health and safety or the environment due to a release or threatened release of hazardous substances into the environment. The most recent registry listing of these facilities was published in the November 24, 2000, issue of the Texas Register (25 TexReg 11756).

Pursuant to §361.184(a), the commission must publish a notice of intent to list a facility on the state registry of state Superfund sites in the Texas Register and in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the facility is located. With this publication, TNRCC hereby gives notice of a facility or area that the executive director has determined eligible for listing, and which the executive director proposes to list on the state registry. By this publication, TNRCC also gives notice pursuant to the Act, §361.1855, that it proposes a land use other than residential as appropriate for the facility identified as Kingsbury Metal Finishing, Inc. (the site). The TNRCC proposes a portion of the site as commercial/industrial. Determination of future land use will impact the remedial investigation and remedial action for the site.

This publication also specifies the general nature of the potential endangerment to public health and safety or the environment as determined by information currently available to the executive director. This notice of intent to list this facility was also published on January 19, 2001, in the Seguin Gazette .

The facility proposed for listing is the Kingsbury Metal Finishing, Inc. at 1720 Farm-to-Market Road 1104, Kingsbury, Texas. This site is approximately 14.94 acres located approximately 0.75 mile southeast of Kingsbury, Texas. The entrance to the site is Latitude 29° 38' 29.42"N and Longitude 97° 48' 55.05"W.

Kingsbury Metal Finishing Company was a electroplating facility that began business in May 1986. The facility was composed of four primary areas, the main processing building, the wastewater treatment area, the discharge area covered with fill, and the outdoor storage area. The main process building contains approximately 30 plating process tanks filled with mixed plating waste. The wastewater treatment area contains approximately seven tanks and 19 drums. Within the site are residentices.

A public meeting will be held Thursday, February 22, 2001, 6:30 p.m. at the City Council Chambers, 205 North River, 1st Floor, Seguin, Texas. The purpose of this meeting is to obtain additional information regarding the site relative to its eligibility for listing on the state registry, identify additional potentially responsible parties, and obtain public input and information regarding the appropriate use of land on which the facility subject of this notice is located. The public meeting will be legislative in nature and not a contested case hearing under the Texas Administrative Procedure Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001).

Written comments may also be submitted to the attention of Ms. Carol Dye, Project Manager, TNRCC, Superfund Cleanup Section, Remediation Division, MC-143, P. O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087, telephone number (512) 239-1504. All comments must be received by the commission on or before February 22, 2001.

A summary of the application follows.

Docket Style and Number: Application to Amend Certificated Service Area Boundary for Valentine Ranch Subdivision in Bandera County, Texas. Docket Number 23464.

The Application: Due to recent development activities, City Public Service (CPS) and Bandera Electric Cooperative, Inc. (BEC) met with developers of proposed Valentine Ranch Subdivision and mutually decided that it would be more cost effective and aesthetically acceptable for a single electric utility to provide power to the subdivision in it's entirety. Initial plans indicate a total of approximately 116 lots, with approximately 11 lots being partially or entirely in BEC's certificated service boundary and the balance of about 105 lots being partially or entirely in CPS's certificated service boundary. Since the majority of proposed lots lie within the existing certificated service area boundary of CPS and CPS has existing capacity to service this entire subdivision, BEC agreed to amend their service boundary with CPS to accommodate this realignment.

Notice is given to the public of the filing with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (commission) of a joint application, filed on December 21, 2000, to divide multiply certificated service area boundaries pursuant to §§14.001, 37.051, 37.054, 37.056, 37.057 and 41.051 of the Public Utility Regulatory Act, Texas Utilities Code Annotated (Vernon 1998 & Supplement 2000) (PURA). A summary of the application follows.

Docket Style and Number: Joint Application of San Patricio Electric Cooperative, Inc. and Central Power and Light Company to Divide Multiply Certificated Service Areas. Docket Number 23455.

The Application: A joint application was filed by San Patricio Electric Cooperative, Inc. (SPEC) and Central Power and Light Company (CPL) seeking amendment of their certificates of convenience and necessity (CCN) consistent with their agreement to divide their dually certificated service areas to achieve single certification to be effective June 1, 2001, the beginning date of the Texas Retail Competition Pilot. CPL and SPEC currently share dually certificated service areas in south Texas and have reached an agreement which, if approved and implemented, would result in these dually certificated service areas becoming singly certificated. In general, customers currently taking service from SPEC in areas to be singly certificated to CPL will be transferred to CPL, and vice-versa. Certain distribution facilities would also be exchanged between SPEC and CPL in connection with the single certification. As part of SPEC and CPL's agreement, SPEC has adopted a resolution, pursuant to §41.051 of the Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA), that will allow its customers, like CPL's customers, to exercise customer choice beginning January 1, 2002.
