§  76.936   Written decision.

   (a) A franchising authority must issue a written decision in a
   ratemaking proceeding whenever it disapproves an initial rate for the
   basic service tier or associated equipment in whole or in part,
   disapproves a request for a rate increase in whole or in part, or
   approves a request for an increase in whole or in part over the
   objections of interested parties. A franchising authority is not
   required to issue a written decision that approves an unopposed
   existing or proposed rate for the basic service tier or associated
   equipment.

   (b) Public notice must be given of any written decision required in
   paragraph (a) of this section, including releasing the text of any
   written decision to the public.
