services. The cost of hearing reporter services thus required must be borne by the utility,
telephone company, or telecommunications carrier that is the subject of the proceeding.
If more than one company is the subject of a proceeding, the commission, or if the
commission so delegates the executive secretary, shall determine how the hearing reporter
costs are to be allocated for the proceeding.
