Sec.  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

   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
