§  76.912   Joint certification.

   (a) Franchising authorities may apply for joint certification and may
   engage in joint regulation, including, but not limited to, joint
   hearings, data collection, and ratemaking. Franchising authorities
   jointly certified to regulate their cable system(s) may make
   independent rate decisions.

   (b) Franchising authorities may apply for joint certification
   regardless of whether the authorities are served by the same cable
   system or by different cable systems and regardless of whether the
   rates in each franchising area are uniform.
