§ 53.105. DETERMINATION OF PROPRIETY OF CHANGE;
HEARING. (a) If a tariff changing rates is filed with the
commission, the commission shall, on complaint by an affected

the effective date of the change, enter on a hearing to determine
the propriety of the change.
(b) The commission shall hold a hearing in every case in
which the change constitutes a major change. The commission may,

receive a complaint before the 46th day after the date notice of the
change is filed.
(c) The commission shall give reasonable notice of the

notice, and the absence of an answer does not affect an order for a
hearing.
