PUBLIC NOTICE
Texas Utilities Electric Company
(“TU Electric”) hereby publishes
NOTICE that, pursuant to the
provisions of the Public Utility
Regulatory Act and the Public
Utility Commission’s Substantive
Rule 23.23(b)(2), it has filed an
application on March 27, 1991
with the Public Utility Commis-
sion of Texas seeking authority to

$50,029,666 as of February 28,
1991, including applicable inter-
est.
TU Electric has proposed that
the refund be made effective with
customer billings beginning in

sion Order authorizing such
refund. All customers and classes
of customers whose electric ser-
vice rates include charges for fuel
cost pursuant to TU Electric

Factor”, and all territories in
which TU Electric provides elec-
tric service will be affected if the
application is granted.
A complete copy of said applica-
tion is on file with the Public
Utility Commission of Texas.
Persons who wish to intervene or
otherwise participate in these
proceedings should notify the
Public Utility Commission of
Texas as soon as possible. A
request to intervene, participate,

mVELECTRIC
Now that we have learned the value
of fiber in our diets, danger of choles-
terol and food additives, the big deci-
sion at the supermarket comes when
we have to decide between paper and
plastic bags. The easiest decision is
the cowardly one, ask the package
clerk to make it easy on himself.
With landfills overflowing and
boats of garbage on our rivers, with
no place to stop, we really ought to
be concerned about unnecessary pack-
aging. It looks silly to buy a jug of
milk at the drive-in then have it put in
a paper bag, when we know we will
wash the jug before refrigerating it.
Modem food packaging began in
1809 when a Frenchman, Nicholas
Appert, developed a method of preserv-
ing food in glass bottles with cork
stoppers. The pickle barrel, wooden
box and cloth sacks followed. By
1929, aluminum and cellophane were
developed and in 1940 when the
plastics revolution began, the packag-
ing industry had it made.
As always, the manufacturers were
ahead of the consumer and recognized
the problems of excess packaging and
its effect on the environment. The
hamburger firm of McDonalds, for
example, will give a pine seedling
with every order of burger and fries,
during one week in April.
The magazine, Garbage, has com-
piled a list of suggestions for the con-
sumer who is interested in the envir-
onment. "These are published in a
pamphlet "Garbage At the Grocery":
♦Avoid all red or yellow packaging,
as these dyes contain cadmium and
lead toxics.
♦Bring your own tote bag to the
store.
♦Look for refillable or reusable
containers.
♦Buy fresh fruit and vegetables
loose.
♦Buy in bulk when possible and
avoid single-serving containers.
♦Buy concentrates when possible.
Look for products made from recycl-
able materials which can be recycled
again.

Public Notice
Southwestern Bell Telephone Company has filed two sep-
arate applications with the Public Utility Commission of Texas
to introduce two new optional directory services. One service
is Directory Assistance Call Completion (DACC) and the other
service is Multiple List Directory Assistance (MLDA).
DACC is an optional service that provides customers the
option of having their Directory Assistance call completed to
the requested number (when they call Directory Assistance
for a number) by either the Directory Assistance operator or a
mechanized audio response system.
The proposed rates* for fully-automated DACC calls are:
$.30 if the call is sent paid or billed to a calling card, $1.00 if the
call is collect or billed to a third number and $.25 from a coin
telephone.
The proposed rates * for semi-automated (operator assisted)
DACC calls are: $.85 for calls that are sent paid or billed to a
calling card, $1.20 if the call is collect or billed to a third number
and $2.60 for a person-to-person call.
Multiple List Directory Assistance (MLDA) allows the
customer to request more than two listing requests per call to
Directory Assistance. Customers can either call on “demand”
and receive up to 10 listings, or schedule an “appointment” and
receive the assistance of a Directory Assistance operator for as
long as required. The rates for “demand” MLDA are $.30 per list-
ing request (after applicable allowances), with a maximum of 10
listing requests per call. The rates for “appointment” MLDA are
$1.00 per minute, with a 15-minute minimum.
The optional services DACC and MLDA are intended for use
by both residence and business customers. Those persons who
qualify for exemption of Directory Assistance charges because
of visual or physical handicaps will be able to use DACC and
demand MLDA free of charge. If approved by the commission,
DACC and MLDA will be available beginning May 13,1991. First-
year projected revenues for DACC are approximately $9.6 million.
First-year projected revenues for MLDA are approximately
$1.7 million.
Persons who wish to comment on these applications should
notify the commission by May 3,1991. Requests for further infor-
mation should be mailed to the Public Utility Commission of
Texas, 7800 Shoal Creek Boulevard, Suite 400N, Austin, Texas
78757, or you may call the Public Utility Commission Public Infor-
mation Office at (512) 458-0256 or (512) 458-0221 teletypewriter
for the deaf.

The charges for DACC are in addition to the charge for the Directory Assistance
Listing (if applicable) and/or any local or intraLATA toll charges that would apply to
the completed call.
