16 Tex. Admin. Code § 25.80 - Annual Report on Historically Underutilized Businesses
(a) In this section, "historically
underutilized business" has the same meaning as in Texas Government Code,
§
481.191, as it may be
amended.
(b) Every electric utility
shall report its use of historically underutilized businesses (HUBs) to the
commission on a form approved by the commission. An electric utility may submit
the report on paper, or on paper and on a diskette (in Lotus 1-2-3 (*utility
name.wk*) or Microsoft Excel (*utility name.xl*) format).
(1) Each electric utility shall on or before
December 30 of each year submit to the commission a comprehensive annual report
detailing its use of HUBs for the four quarters ending on September 30 of the
year the report is filed, using the Large Utilities HUB Report form.
(2) Each electric utility wishing to report
indirect HUB procurements or HUB procurements made by the contractor of the
utility may use the Supplemental HUB report form.
(3) Each electric utility shall submit a text
description of how it determined which of its vendors is a HUB.
(4) Each electric utility that has more than
1,000 customers in a state other than Texas, or which purchases more than 10%
of its goods and services (other than fuel, purchased power, and wheeling) from
vendors not located in Texas, shall separately report by total and category all
electric utility purchases, all electric utility purchases from Texas vendors,
and all electric utility purchases from Texas HUB vendors. A vendor is
considered a Texas vendor if its physical location is situated within the
boundaries of Texas.
(5) Each
electric utility shall also file any other documents it believes appropriate to
convey an accurate impression of its use of HUBs.
(c) This section may not be used to
discriminate against any citizen on the basis of race, nationality, color,
religion, sex, or martial status.
(d) This section does not create a new cause
of action, either public or private.
