1Opinion of the Court
CARTER, Justice.
The Iowa State Commerce Commission (the commission) and the Office of Consumer Advocate (the consumer advocate) appeal from orders of the district court which interpret Iowa Code section 476.6(7) (1983) to require a contested ease hearing procedure for reconciliation of automatic pass-through adjustments to the gas cost component of utility rate structures. Because we disagree with the district court’s interpretation of the applicable statutes, we reverse its orders and remand the action to the district court for further proceedings.
