NEUMAN, Justice.
At the heart of this outwardly complex utility rate case lies a relatively simple question: Did the Iowa Utilities Board violate the rule against retroactive ratemak-ing when it permitted Iowa-Illinois Gas & Electric Company to use its industrial customers’ historic purchasing data as the basis for allocating current gas pipeline surcharges authorized by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission? The district court, ruling on a petition for judicial review of the agency’s action, found no violation. We agree with the district court and affirm.
