finding made by> the commission determines that the aggregate
lawful volume of the open flow or daily potential capacity to
produce of all gas wells located in a common reservoir is in excess

the common reservoir, to be used as permitted in this chapter;
provided however, the commission may continue to exercise its

requests such regulation.

      On or before the 25th day of each month, the commission<,
after notice and hearing,> shall determine:

following month.
